9/11

Tomorrow is the 5 year anniversary of 9/11. I read about this movie, I don't think I am going to waste 5 hours of my life watching it. Whatever happened 10 or 15 years ago happened and can't be changed and besides, the movie is a movie-it ain't a documentary.

We also can't change what happened 5 years ago.

We can learn from history however........maybe in 50 years we can learn from the mistakes our current administration is making and not repeat them.

Enough of being a downer for one day......

I plan to celebrate the day like I would any other-I just thank God I have a wonderful family and anything else in addition to that is a bonus.

My friend Doug sent me some concepts for my new website, I like them a whole lot! He's good. Sorry, you don't get to see anything until the final design is uptight and outtasight and published on my web site.

I am still looking for a tagline, though. Doug sent me a whole bunch and he and I like one or two of them, but I really want something that will stick in your head.

My first quarter advertising is going to "placemat advertising" in 2 local restaurants that have a very strong older clientele. I'd like to make mention that I would enjoy helping more "mature" computer users get more out of computing but I hesitate to narrow my focus like that right off the bat.

If at some point down the road I could rely exclusively on seniors to be successful-I'd have no problem narrowing my focus at that point. So with that being said-anyone have any ideas for a tagline? I'm sure I'll be at work and the perfect one will pop into my head, but right now-the more I think about it-fewer ideas are popping up.

This gives "photographic memory" a whole new meaning. Wow.

This is funny if you have a pet...........except for the owner of the laptop in the second picture.

The 100 people video on this website is thought provoking. So is this.

My son and I are dying to buy one of these. Me because I like driving games and him because he likes playing Halo 2. I'm sure we'll get one when Halo 3 comes out.

Saw this on Cleverchimps blog. I like the video, but we aren't gonna give up oil until it completely runs out no matter how much it costs. We'll quit when it runs out. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but that's how I see it. If gas cost 7 bucks a gallon next year, sure we'll all cut back on driving but my wife isn't gonna be riding her bike 22 miles to work every morning at 4 AM in the middle of winter.

Top ten kids books. Make that Top ten bizarre kids books.

In closing for today......

These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.
