 We
Never Sleep:
Well, that's what it sometimes feels like .... we are
always on the job and happily creating new stuff for our customers.
Now we've done it for Wordpix: Ta dah! Our own line of
floral, blank-inside notecards featuring Peggi's flower photos! It's
the fulfillment of a dream after writing about and photographing for
the floral industry since 1999. Check out the cards -
www.myfloralnotecards.com
- and let us know when you're ready for your first order. They make
wonderful gifts!

INNOVATIONS
"Driving Glasses"
- Sensors
embedded in the frames of your eye glasses can measure how often
your eyelids blink and how much they droop between blinks. If your
"drowsiness score," which appears on your car's dashboard, exceeds
safe limits, you are alerted with a sound. Driving glasses were
developed for use by commercial drivers and may be available by
2015.

WORDS WORDS: What's That Mean?
Preventative' or 'preventive'?
The original "preventive" is the correct word and preferred by
experts. Common misuse, however, has led to widespread use of the
word "preventative", which seems to be gaining in acceptance.
("Preventative" may have gotten its popularity when first used to
mean a contraceptive.) Want to be correct? Use "preventive."

NEW STUFF
Narrable Loves
Our Photo Stories. Upload your photos - for a project, a
family, an event, etc. - to an account at Narrable.com, then record
a narrative in which you talk about the photos. A starter account
permits up to five 'narrables' at no cost. It's great for family
history (interview grandma to capture those early days) and other
projects.
