Why do we have the US Government looking at interfering and potentially taking over a fifth of our countries private sector - nationalize it like Hugo Chavez is doing in Venezuela. When did we decide it was OK to give up our freedoms to save money? Why is that we can’t create a reform without having the government getting in the way of our freedom? Are we so enamored with our elected politicians (many of whom have never run a business) that we are willing to allow them to take over something ... Read Full Story

I am Mad! I just got back from what was supposed to be a town hall on health care with my congressman and it was more of a lecture then a dialogue.Then I am watching TV to see another congresswoman, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, state how she has to convince her constituents that the health care reform is best for them! Perhaps the Congress has forgotten what the word “Representative” means?Congressmen take note - it is not your job to be Washington’s voice to the people. It is your job to be the ...

I own a number of different Apple Mac computers with my primary desktop machine being a Power Mac G5 Quad.Snow Leopard is being written and soon to be released to provide 64 bit support as a what seems to be a primary feature. So then why would Apple not provide that same support to the Apple users who purchased G5 machines in the past who have been waiting for this type of support? This machines are still very much in use.I purchased my G5 Quad as I wanted a machine that would last me 7 to 1... Read Full Story

Getting out suitcases or fresh sheets and pillow cases.F... Read Full Story

So the US and for that matter the rest of the world is in a giant credit mess. Too bad they cant contact someone like Credit Hurts so that all the debt could be consolidated into one lump payment at a reduced interest rate!Todays news brings the highlight of the government bailout to $150 billion for AIG Insurance. That is like everyone in America writing a check for $500. I do hope that some of that money goes back to the treasury - I believe that our taxes are high enough already without ha...

So we just returned from a family vacation where we took a drive up the coast and into Maine. Along the way we stopped in New York City for one night - primarily to go to the top of the Empire State Building.None of us had ever been and it truly was a great experience. We were lucky that we arrived the day before and it had rained. The morning we went to the top the sky was clear and we could see for miles!If you have never been to New York City before there is something you need to know - it... Read Full Story

For some reason I wound up on the computerhistory.org website. For a computer nerd like me it was great fun. It reminded me of when I was a teenager reading magazines I acquired from a local video game producer - Byte, Interface Age, Computerworld, Datamation and Compute! My Uncles Dad (a really nice man) owned an Osborne computer which I got to play around on. This was the first portable computer for the average Joe. At 24 pounds it was anything but light. Compare that with todays ultra-ligh... Read Full Story

The development is quite large in scope consisting of 1200 condos and town homes and 500,000 square feet of office and retail space. The developers are very nice and one actually live...
