My first contribution to Wikipedia and I am excited I learnt something new today!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointillism
and my two cents worth added in Wikipedia
There is also an advanced level of Pointillism called Hyper Pointillism. There is currently only one known artist who practices this - Niall Young http://www.nialleyoung.com/about_artist.php

Parenting
Schools opened and Summer Holidays is finally Over....Much to my surprise the first week wasn't as relaxing as I wanted it to be....We are still getting used to school and routine activities...
Riona is back to school and has been making a big FUSS every other morning....She doesn't want to go to school..Its hard to see her cry yet.... to force her to go...So far she is coping with a new campus , new teacher and new friends....
And its Friday thats 5 days I am still struggling to find time to read/excercise....
No time to plan what needs to be done for the activities they have signed up for...
We are struggling to find time to practice music lessons...and do Kumon homework so need to give it another week to get used to a routine and to start planning for holidays...

Art
Art Gallery
I am neither an Artist nor an Art Lover/Critic/Collector. I do admire simple and beautiful creations!
Of late I have just been acquainted with a lot of artists - Alpana Ahuja - a great friend and a few of them I knew even from my college days! - Preeti
I had a chance recently to visit an Art Gallery by the youngest Artist I have ever met so I really thought it was worth writing a note about her. I was amazed at her works and her first solo exhibition with over 30 unique creations. And she is all of 18…. a school kid (literally) but her paintings speak volumes about her depth and insight and perspective.
I also took the opportunity to take my 7-year-old daughter who loves to draw and have a few guided works to her credit so that she may draw on some inspiration.
Tanya's work
Here is a photograph I manage to take with her in her first solo exhibition inaugration day…
A few other shots of her exhibition-
You can read more details of her in the leading local daily article in “The China Post”The Article
So I encourage all of you to take the time and have a look if you happen to be in Taipei or else you can take a look at her website!
Her Name is Devi Seetharam and her website is www.deviseetharam.com

Internet Marketing
Every time I have a session of my course ( Internet Marketing) there is information overload..I get so much of new information almost impossible to comprehend !Few weeks ago it was about "Autoresponders".Being the layman that I am when it comes to Internet Marketing I had to quickly do my research and choose an Auto responder for my new website!
Oops I forgot to tell you what an autoresponder is:
An e-mail utility that automatically replies to an e-mail message with a prewritten response when that e-mail comes into a specific e-mail or Internet address.
Autoresponders are used by individuals and also by Web sites that need to respond to user comments automatically.
For example, an individual may use an autoresponder feature of e-mail to inform the sender that he has gone on vacation and will not be replying personally to e-mails until he returns to the office.
An enterprise may use an autoresponder in response to a newsletter subscription request to verify the opt-in or subscription cancellation or to indicate to the sender that a user comment was received.
Autorepsonders are also used by enterprises to indicate that an online purchase was processed and will typically include an order confirmation number in the e-mail that is automatically generated and sent to the purchaser
After a whole week of research I chose Aweber for one simple reason.
It was the easiest to use and easily allows "aweber cb integration" that is you can integrate with PayPal or other third party shopping cart systems.
