EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY: THIS IS AMAZING

The one that really gets to me is the 204 million emails every minute of every day....and I'll bet a big bunch of them are dirty jokes.

Gary sent this and I can relate!!

The late Maya Angelou wrote.....

"You are the sum total of everything you've ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot..it's all there.  Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive."

Maya would have been quite unhappy with me because this Charter change to all digital has been about as non-positive as anything can be.

Hopefully, with Jakes help, tomorrow, I'll have everything I need to get hooked up correctly.

Carl got the cable part hooked up just fine but the modem that connects  the cable to the internet is not compatible with the HD transmission so I have to go back to the Charter office and get the new modem and come home and hook it up.

I could care less if the TV part ever works but if you screw with my internet I'm gonna get very unpleasant and I sure as hell won't be "positive".

Thanks Microsoft!

Every version of Internet Explorer is getting the patch, today, that will protect us from that nasty virus that first surfaced about a week ago.

LOVE MY TWITTER

As you know, I'm a big Twitter fan.  I was scrolling through the list of folks who are following me, this morning.  There are 610 of them, at the moment, so I haven't made it through the whole list but I want to thank a few of the people who catch my tweets every day.

*Green Bay Packers
*City of Los Angeles
*South Dakota Travel
*Festival Foods
*Texas Storm Chasers

Thanks, folks.  Love ya' all!

TYPE, SEARCH, COMPARE AND SAVE

I ran across a website on TWITTER that you might be interested in.  It's ImpactMag.Net (CLICK HERE)

An on-line shopping search engine where you can compare prices on over 30 million products.  You just type in the item, click, search and compare prices and save $$$.

Donnie and Linda are out of touch.

"An outcome of last night's thunderstorms is a failed internet connection at home.  I am reporting from the Dripping Springs public library."

It's Apple-mania!

At one store in downtown Tokyo, this morning, there were 450 people lined up to buy the new iPad.  At my age, the only "pad" I'm going to line up for is the heating pad.

When you hit 70, your idea of a "hot time" is putting a heating pad on your aching back.

THIS IS FOR YOU E-BAY FANS

Did you know that eBay has a webpage devoted to eBay stories?  Some are quite interesting.  CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT

THE BAD GUYS ARE OUT THERE

DONNIE REPORTS
"Hotmail blocked my account after detecting a hacker. If you have received msgs or spam from "me" that don't sound like me, my apologies. I have re-registered, and I hope you will be spared any inconvenience. The technology renaissance has its down-sides. For every good, there is always a bad."

Again a reminder to be very careful what you open.  An email from even your most trusted friends may be full of "bugs" they know nothing about when they send (or forward) an email to you.

HERE'S AN INTERESTING NEW LAW

It comes from the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur.  Beginning April 1, ALL restaurants and bars in the city will be REQUIRED to provide WiFi in their establishments.  We're talking one really connected city!

LIFE IS MORE LUCK THAN WORK OR BRAINS??

It's enough to make you want to cry.  Here's a comedian (who I had never heard of) who made A MILLION DOLLARS IN TWELVE DAYS by selling a video of his act for $5.00 a pop.  READ THE STORY HERE

THE E-MAIL MUST GO THROUGH!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE NEW LOOK ON YOU TUBE?

MOST PEOPLE HATE IT!
There's a good article about the new You Tube look, and the reason behind it, in the NEW YORK TIMES

I'M SORRY I DIDN'T HAVE THE GUTS TO DO THIS WHILE I WAS YOUNG!

I know there are a lot of you, who read this blog, who love to travel.  If that's you, I'll bet you like this website as much as I do.  NOMATIC MATT

Thanks Russia!

During a weeks time, most of the people who view this page are, of course, from the USA, but, the #2 country this past week has been Russia. Folks from there have viewed the page 109 times.  большое спасибо!!  (For those of you who don't speak russian, that's "many thanks"!)

INTERNET

YOU TUBE has a new home page.  Have you seen it yet?

Loretta Swit from M*A*S*H is 74 today.

Interesting item on MSNBC this morning.  AOL still has 3.5 million DIAL-UP subscribers.

IT'S BEEN ONE OF THOSE DAYS

I have spent most of the morning fighting with this #@%**++ computer, trying to log in.  "incorrect password", "you don't have an account", and all sorts of other odd messages kept popping up.

How did I fix it?  I don't know.  I just kept hitting keys and going to different windows and using every naughty word I could think of and, all of a sudden, my computer decided it knew me again.  I have a sneaking suspicion it was the naughty words that made the difference.
