Decorate the classroom.

One of the things that kids like in my classroom is the military models that I have in my room.

For whatever reason they love the planes and tanks. Not to mention the ships that I have.

Worst part is that I had some of my really early ones in the classroom that were not so good. So I redid several of the oldest ones and they were really good.

Well I hope that you have a good day.

A Few Years From Now.

One of the odd things that I think we will have in the future looking back is the ability to read data. We can easily read items that are 500 years old. There is no problem. Now what if you need a xbox 360 hdmi cable and have no clue what it is or how to find one.

Just like chats, video chats, emails, will all these survive a few hundred year to be viable for future historians?

Have a good day.

Having Fun

While my wife was grabbing her nursing scrubs she was talking about settled science. We talked for a bit and admitted that if there is settled scicne can she agree to accept it.

She said yes and eager to do so.

I point out that for over 1000 years the settled science showed that the earth was the center of the universe. Or what we call a geocentric universe. Needless to say she dropped her point.

Personal Milestone.

Here is one for my own personal history. I have been so busy working on restaurant loans that this is the first time since the mid 70s that I have not seen at least one movie up for academy awards Best Pict cat.

They of course are:
"The Artist" Thomas Langmann, Producer
"The Descendants" Jim Burke, Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, Producers
"Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close" Scott Rudin, Producer
"The Help" Brunson Green, Chris Columbus and Michael Barnathan, Producers

Steve

Wow I am have been listening to the Steve Jobs biography. It is just amazing, sort of like when I had to do some cd duplication services. Steve was truly a one of kind who Thought Different.

It just amazes me how much control he wanted and how well he did everything. And amazed at how he did things. I would hate to have been a waiter for him.

Well I hope that you have a super day. And have a happy new year.

Tmobile and ATT

Well here we go ATT is not buying Tmobile. The good news is that Tmobile is going to get a pile of money. The better news is that I am not going to have to change services. Even better than that medical computer carts will work well.

"AT&T has officially announced that it no longer plans to purchase T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom. In a press release, the company said, 'The actions by the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice to block this transaction do not change the realities of the U.S. wireless industry. It is one of the most fiercely competitive industries in the world, with a mounting need for more spectrum that has not diminished and must be addressed immediately. The AT&T and T-Mobile USA combination would have offered an interim solution to this spectrum shortage. In the absence of such steps, customers will be harmed and needed investment will be stifled.'"

Well I hope that you have a great day.

Small Town Beer

So my friend and I were out and goofing the other day. He took his titanium jewelry wedding ring off to play pool. Now why he did this is beyond me. And he set it down.

We played pool and drank beer. Guess what he forgot? So we go home, I only had two beers he was a a little more drunk. I deleviered him home and all without his ring.

Of course all the panic. The good news.
He called the bar and they had his ring.

I love living in a small town.
