How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to "put your two cents in"… but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Step right up and pre-order your VERY mobile mini notebook weighing in at only 1.2 lbs!!
Sporting a 4.5" screen, a 30 Gig HD, Windows XP and a normal notebook price… its power to go. Not really designed to as a desktop replacement, but for the minimalist techies out there a "must have".
That's right among the coolest kids in town (college kids of course), the Ipod has — at least temporarily — de-throned drinking beer as the number one "in" thing to do. iPods were rated as "in" by 73% of undergrads while beer and facebook.com ranked #2 with 71%.
Does this mean that we are becoming a geek-ier nation or that tech is going mainstream when a gadget and a web site are going toe to toe with getting sloshed?
Thanks Dre
Well, yesterday I said goodbye to a dear friend that I have known since I was a wee lad. All of the good times spent together, coalesced into a deep trust. A familiarity that seemed so surprisingly natural, considering it's rarity. But Mike has left this place and traveled up through the clouds to reach another place. Another world. Though the sun always shines where he has gone, we will miss him and look forward to seeing him again, someday…
But with the price of oil inflating airline tickets, it may be some time before I travel out to his new home in CalEforNyah (I believe that is the correct gove-nator pronunciation). That's right, my friend has moved to the left coast, with all the crazies, hippies, and beach hotties (there's always a silver lining). I'm sure the shift from his urban Atlanta lifestyle to the quaint township of San Deigo will take some time. Luckily his ferverent viewings of the OC will help to ease the transistion as he masters the new language and currency.
CalEforNyah has its own language. For instance, "the" must be inserted as often as possible into any and all statements such as: "I need to go to the store to get the bread for the meal, I would take the 9 to get there but due to the construction I will take the 5". Also he will have to learn some new words like "medicinal-marijuana" and "fly-over-states".
California also has its own currency. While the paper bills and coins are surprisingly similar to US currency, they are not nearly as valuable. A good rule of thumb is 4-5 Cali-dollars for every real dollar, depending on the area. This where many people get confused over their potential salary in C-land until they go house shopping…
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi was killed in a raid yesterday. I believe this is a huge blow to the Al Qaeda network. While figurehead Osama still eludes us in a hole somewhere, the top general for the terrorists in Iraq is gone.
