Gather 'round kiddies, Windows 8 is here. Hopefully, you all have recovered from the upgrades when you switched to Windows 7.
I'll probably read some reviews later this week, but I see that TigerDirect is offering over 30 new models with W8 and many will have upgrade incentives.
Hurry... hurry... hurry.
What will W8 do for you?
In general, it's sleeker, more connected to social networking and takes advantage of touch screen monitors.
I have a touch screen netbook that's running Windows 7 and qualifies for the W8 upgrade for $15, so I'll probably install it.

Celebrity Endorsements... in the political arena

I've always disliked it when celebrities (usually actors or musicians) become outspoken on politics and use their 'celebrity clout' (in an attempt) to influence people to vote for their favorite candidate.
Does this jeopardize or further their career?
Maybe in some cases it further jeopardizes their career!
Humanitarian causes... lovely.
Politics... you've crossed the line in my book.
Madonna qualifies for the list. She opened her mouth at a concert this week and was booed by the audience. Singer Meatloaf made a fool of himself as though he was drunk.
Bad taste. When will they learn?
I'll quote my dad on this subject "Oh, shut the hell up!"

Nudity, profanity and promoting your business...

A few weeks ago, I tried to have a photo approved. It was me and my 18 month old granddaughter. The photo was rejected... twice because it didn't comply with the rules. I was allowed to post it on a 2nd album, but not the primary album. Why so strict was my thought.
For more than two months someone blogging their 'manly skills' had a blog with profanity, nude photos of himself and solicited their service (including sexual pleasures) despite some complaints from the others who blog here. How strange... why was this offensive blog here for so long?
I scanned the 'terms of use' and believe this persons blog was clearly in violation.. Again, why did it remain online for such a long time?
I'm listed on a few dating sites and they each have their own rules. Maybe, it's something I missed.

我是肥胖，丑陋，穷，白色的头发
我的牙齿是腐烂的。 我失业。
我无家可归，我依赖政府帮助。
计算机吗？ 我在图书馆借计算机。
我是一位美国公民。
我在这里正寻找一位中国妻子。
她一定美丽。 活泼。
你想要与我结婚吗？
请送一条消息。
我等待你的答复！
谢谢你。

I don't like to blog politics, but this is too important to miss.
It appears in a clean sweep 'never been done before' in the history of America, Republican candidate, Mitt Romney has taken 100% of every poll taken today. Due to this accomplishment, he will be sworn in as 45th President of the United States of America on Monday morning in a ceremony beginning 7am, well in advance of the upcoming November election and the swearing in ceremony in January. Why waste taxpayers money holding an election?
Current President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and their & pets have been notified by Secret Service to pack their bags as 'checkout' time is 11am.
Congratulations Mitt on an unprecedented job... we knew you could do it!
In the mean time, Barack has been on the phone to a few friends locating a place for him to say. Some inside sources reveal they have found an abandoned factory once owned by Bain that will serve as a "shack-up" until he can arrange some public housing on the outskirts of Chicago.

JENNY... eight six seven five three-o-nine

Jenny, refers to the 1982 hit song from the San Francisco, California, rock band Tommy Tutone
"Jenny", peaked at #4 on the Billboard pop charts. 867-5309 became so popular that people in the United States (to this day) dial this telephone number and ask for "Jenny" as a prank.
Triva: A common misconception is that Tommy Tutone is the name of the lead singer; it is the name of the band. The lead singer's name is Tommy Heath. The name of the band developed from the original name "Tommy and the Tu-tones" to merely Tommy Tutone.
LYRICS
867-5309/Jenny - Tommy Tutone
Jenny Jenny who can I turn to
You give me something I can hold on to
I know you'll think I'm like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall
Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Jenny Jenny you're the girl for me
You don't know me but you make me so happy
I tried to call you before but I lost my nerve
I tried my imagination but I was disturbed
Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
I got it (I got it) I got it
I got your number on the wall
I got it (I got it) I got it
For a good time, for a good time call
Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny I've called your number
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Jenny Jenny who can I turn to
(Eight six seven five three oh nine)
For the price of a dime I can always turn to you
(Eight six seven five three oh nine)
Eight six seven five three oh nine
Eight six seven five three oh nine
five three oh nine...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It must be my imagination... about two weeks ago, member profile photos were replaced with pink silhouettes with a question mark. You had to buy a gold or silver membership to see the photo. We standard members were blocked to read messages too.
I guess it had such an enormous negative impact on the website that the original format had returned.
Tonight, when I logged on, I checked to see who was looking at my profile only to find... the member names are missing!!
I checked it twice and pinched my arm just to see if I was dreaming.
I LOVE this place... new surprises weekly.
Let's see how this one plays out!

Typing in all Capitals - WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING??

Please be informed that typing in all caps is the equivalent to shouting.
It's great to use capital letters to STRESS A POINT.
After that, YOU CANNOT EMPHASIZE SOMETHING IF YOU ARE ALREADY SHOUTING...
SO WHAT'S NEXT?
SHOUTING IN BOLD LETTERS ?
 Some people need to exercise better internet etiquette...

Late night at the office again. I finished drawings for my kitchen installers as planned. Last minute as they say. They need this for the morning.
Looking at the calendar I realized it's 10-11-12 and we won't see this date again.
It will be midnight when I get home. 1am when I get to bed and 6am when I get up Friday... 5 hours sleep you say?
Yes, it was 3 hours sleep last night.
Weekend work planned... not much choice.
