An F-ing Valuable Thing

I continue to be so proud of the leadership from my home state.

Way to go, Rod. I think they managed to catch you dropping the F bomb only 40 times on record.

This would really suck

And that's an understatement.

Check out this time-lapse video of a man trapped in an elevator for 41 hours. This happened about 10 years ago, but someone got their hands on the surveillance footage.



Whoever put this clip together did a really good job.

Ordering a pizza in 2010

This video about what it will be like to order a pizza in 2010 is funny and creepy. And probably more likely to be true in 2030.

The backlash has begun

It's about time.



I've managed to keep myself from joining the 'book, much to the dismay of everyone out there who's been dying to poke, super-poke or bite me. And my quality of life hasn't even suffered.

Science Saturday - The Ruthless Gene is discovered

Some world leaders might have something in common.

M, ty 4 b!

To the elusive "M" who had a scrumptious breakfast delivered to my door this morning, thank you. What a nice way to start off this day. (Michael, if it's you, you have an impeccable memory!)

M, D, L, K, R, and all of my fantastic friends and family . . . your thank-you cards are in the mail.

Family Watchdog

A good friend of mine (with three kids under the age of five) recently moved to a neighborhood she really didn't know anything about. As they were about to put an offer in on a house she absolutely loved, she checked out this site - only to find that there was a sexual offender living right next door. Needless to say, she and her husband didn't end up putting an offer in on that house after all.

View offenders by type of offense, on a map, on a list, by picture, or even by reported address changes.

Be safe!

Broken record...

Bear with me. I don't want to sound like a broken record (though I know I will), but I think this is something totally crazy.

I just happened to read a snippet about singer Amy Winehouse. I go to Google and do a news search. This is what I get:



Gah! I'm seeing news articles of 'alleged' things happening in distant parts of the world...in MINUTES! It's crazy, its not that someone incredibly rich and famous appears to be in a downward spiral with billions of people possibly watching. The rules of public celebrity behavior were totally different before the internet. It's a little out of control, but it makes me nervous thinking how really diabolical people will be so on top of this once they figure out how to get on top of it...if they haven't already...
