One day I will get to Iguazu Falls. "Possibly in 2013."

44 pennies for a stamp? "I remember when they where 25 cents. Sooner or later, you won't even need snail mail."

More runners

Awesome. Pizza tomorrow. "Thanks Redskins."

Hard to believe how much trouble these pieces of paper has caused me this time around.

Sykesville

So, I am listening to a book for a book club. "Could this be one of the lamest books? Who picked it anyway?"

The future is in the bushes? Somewhere?

Recently I have listened to podcasts that talked about techniolgy I grew up with: Nitewndendo NES, VHS, MS DOS, etc. Hinesight is 20/20? They pointed out stuff that lead to better inovations. Some of which is still popular today. It was all there from the bvegining. I only took intrest in a part of it. Usualy the surface: what games could I play, what moviwes could I watch...

 

Surveying the technological landscape, I ask myself where is the future? Or better yet, what's out there already that will lead to better stuff? Where is the world going?

 

Somethings, just come out of left field, but through iterations of new products can leave that needed clue. What is it and how can I captolize on it?

Turkey Trot runners by the house.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Super Committee burned through more money than they were supposed to cut per year? "Congratulations... I guess."

Made my first pumpkin pie ever tonight. "It was a practice run for Turkey Day."

I thought DHS was messed up, but this Super Committee? "The Legislative branch is looking almost as lame as TSA."

This Super Committe has been the epitome of Government. "A whole lot of talk; a whole lot of nothing."

Fire all the Legislative branch at the Federal level. "Especially members of the worthless Super Committee."

Super committee failed? "What a shock? Stupid legislative branch. We should take their funding away."

What are you thankful for?

Windows Phone 7.5 looked pretty neat. "First time I had played with the new Windows Phone."

So, I put my iPod Touch face down on a copier thinking it might copy what was on the screen. "D'oh!"

Just finished watching War Games II. "Silly computer theatre but interesting tie to the first movie from the '80s"

The Kindle Fire. "Sounds like it was a good purchase."

Is there any reason not to be thankful for something?

You can't set table border styles in the web browser version of MS Word?

The Rat does not represent me. "I am somewhat baffled why it was assumed I could not make my own arrangements."

iPad, Nook and Fire!!!

While I was at this mystical shop that sold physical books, I was able
to touch the Nook for the first time.

I thought the current date was earlier than what I thought them this
new Nook was supposed to ship, but there it was... The "old" Nook
Color! D'oh.

I thought it kind of neat. I hope the Kindle Fire will be a good gift
for my Acting Financial advisor/ Tax prepareor/ Property Manager/ etc.

Anyway, some kid who was also looking over the Nooks and commented on
the Color with a question.

"So it is like the iPad?"

"No." I responded. "It's much better than that."

Zero Day: books and stuff

So, the other day I was at one of those stores that sold books. I mean
actual books with paper pages!

In the future, they will need some way to replicate the new book
smell. If not, oh well. I'll be one of those old farts that talk about
how things were back in the day.

Anyway, I noticed David Baldacci has a new book out called Zero Day.
It is not to be confused with the Mark E. Russinovich book by the same
name -- which also just came out and needs to come to Audible.

Where does Bing get the images? "Salt Lake was picked for today's image."

I am a terrible chess player. "I get bored quick if I don't happen to win right away."

On the 11th second at 11:11 am of the 11th day of the 11th month of year '11 I should head out for 7-11 and get 11 items.

Was Michael Jackson an alien? If so, like Elvis, did he just go home?

The guy just may have done the world a favor. "One less wacko."

Ok, I admit I turned down the difficulty level so I could win.

I wish I had a dollar for everyone on this planet, but I'd settle for a penny per person.

Another day waiting. "And I twisted my ankle. What should I expect next?"
