Been skiing Mammoth since last Thursday. Post storm snow has been pretty good. A little icy in spots, but a few savories and treats to be found on the mountain.

I think it's time to update this site little bit. Been so busy with everyone else's can't even work on my own. I guess that's a good thing, but it doesn't feel like it when I look at my site!

I'd like to have a cell phone that is just a phone. No #%@&ing email, instant messenger, e-chat, media center, web access, this, that, and all the rest. I'd like for it to easily plug into my car so I can talk hands-free while driving. Instead, we get all this stuff they want you to pay extra for. And if you don't want it, it's still a part of the programming on your phone. If I don't pay for it, I don't want it on my phone. I'm not crazy about portable devices. Can you tell?

I was just reading the news, which I try to avoid, it said, "$1.3B in losses hurt Wachovia; bank signals more trouble". These financial companies make press releases sound as if they are "entitled" to profits and then when they start to lose them it's not their "business" anymore, it's every one's. When are financial institutions going to grow-up and take responsibility for their own business decisions? All these lending companies are crying poor after they fed like vampires on the unsuspecting borrowers who didn't ever qualify in the first place for a loan. Those borrowers being the ones who thought housing prices would continue to go up and are now being foreclosed on by banks like Wachovia. Why should the government (i.e. you and I via taxation) pay to bail them out when they knew they were taking that risk in the first place? Isn't that called business? Isn't that also called a market? If you assume the risk to get the rewards, you also assume the risk to lose your assets. That's the Yin and Yang of business. Hello?!

Yikes - been a long time since I updated. I read a quote today that I liked. It was, "When we try to pick out anything by itself we find it hitched to everything in the universe." ~ John Muir ~ Way to go John.

The Sun is 193,000,000 miles away (give or take a couple million depending on the time of year) and the light it creates takes 8 minutes to get here traveling at 186,000 miles per second. And you can't even go out and look directly at it. It is a star and it is an absolutely beautiful and amazing thing.

I like this... "Equations carry no guarantee that their solutions correspond to events in the real world, but if a mathematical model of a physical phenomenon is correct, then manipulating it's equations can be as useful as (and much easier than) manipulating the entire universe." Neil DeGrasse Tyson - from the book, "Death by Black Hole".

When the blogging generation gets older and people stop "blogging", how much time will be allowed for a blog to sit unactive before it gets yanked by the blogging company? Or is cyberspace infinite? (and no one gives %#$&) Kinda like the environment. It ain't broke yet, so what's up with preventative maintenance? ...... right?

I'm less concerned about global warming and el nino than I am about overpopulation. All the world's problems can be traced to the activities of man and woman. When there are too many men and women, those problems multiply. It really is that simple. Here is a good resource for climate change: http://www.greenhousetruth.com/blog/

One small step forward, for a rare and endangered species...

Been working on SEO/SEM now for 8 months. Determined so far, that the web is absolutely inundated with spam. When one form of it is eradicated, another form of it rises to the fore. Where is it going? I foresee that the only way is human review of content. Spiders look for relevance based on links and content (mostly text). Spiders can be easily fooled with relevant spam and produce bad results for search engines. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in the next couple of years, because search engine results will only get worse and worse. They are already not great. That's it for the month of September.
