This thing might even be useful for just thinking aloud and keeping an online notebook of brilliant ideas.<br /><br />Current such ideas include a body of digital manipulations illustrating stories and scenes from folk stories and mythology along the lines of this nifty little thing: The Fate of the Mary Celeste.<br /><br /><br />For those unfamiliar with the story, the Mary Celeste was on her way to Gibralter in the late 19th century, carying a cargo of industrial alcohol. She was found adrift, her entire crew missing and no sign of a reason for their abandoning ship. No trace of them was ever found and the Celeste became one of the most famous ghost ships to sail the seas.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3910469310524676115-4748610889857129006?l=bluebadgersett.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>John Dearinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05750266711163745461noreply@blogger.com3
