Three Things to Think About

This thing fell into my inbox. Sorta funny..(?)

COWS

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government an track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall here she sleeps in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to heir stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.

THE CONSTITUTION

They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don’t we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it’s worked for over 200 years and we’re not using it anymore.

TEN COMMANDMENTS

The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse. You cannot post “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery” and “Thou Shall Not Lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians — it creates a hostile work environment.


 


Technology is moving WAY too fast!

Ipod Touch

I am sure glad that I had opted NOT to buy the iPhone when it came out. It was pricey, but it was almost irresistible.

A few weeks ago I was trying to figure out if I was going to take the plunge. I had decided that while it’s a fabulously spiffy TOY, it just didn’t have all the features I really need in a phone; 3G, lots of add-on programs (like terminal services!) and ability to integrate with GPS.

Oh thank goodness! They went and lowered the prices and pissed off a whole bunch of “early adopters”. This is a crowd you don’t wanna mess with. We’re the folkes who evangelize something when it’s great, and denigrate it if it sucks.

But I was thrilled when I saw they were releasing a new model of iPod (I don’t go anywhere without my Linkin Park!). The iPod Touch; based on the same design as the iPhone. I’ve decided to “early adopt” it! I’ll let you know how it goes (the ONE person who reads this blog; my mother)!

For a phone, I had already opted to go the Cingular/AT&T 8525 route, and am extremely happy with it.

Of course, technology being what it is, the 8925 is right around the corner. UGH! Why can’t I just go into the future a few years and buy the latest technology and bring it back with me!

On another note, I’m going back home in a few days. Been in Fort Lauderdale for many many weeks and it’s time to get back, get a coin and eat some cake! YAY!
