Signs point to an improving economy as the dollar gains ground on the euro; markets trending upward. This is all very interesting in the light of the latest recession actually ending in November of 2001. So don’t let the media and political “gloomers” convince you things are all negative, the facts reveal a different picture.

57-year-old Andrew Macchio is a garbage man in New York City but he works to the score of a different composer. With a postive attitude he sings as he works and entertains all who are in range of his wonderful voice.

Good news can be hard to find, especially when the largest media companies don’t cover it. I learned from Good Morning America’s Matt Lauer that N.A.T.O. countries Poland and now Spain are on the ground in Iraq helping to restore order and keep the peace. It’s surprising to hear because even though the AP created [...]

I just learned about Sessions.com, an online school for design. You can get an accredited Masters certificate that covers multimedia, graphic and Web design. The site looks quite thorough and I know that Christopher Schmitt is a veteran design expert so this might be the shape of things to come.

Do you have difficulty shooting the breeze at work? Tough time small-talking at the mall? Ever have one of those embarrassing “lulls” in conversation on a date?

Some folks would love to be in a wheelchair. I’m not talking about healthy, non-handicapped people but those unfortunate individuals who don’t have the capacity to utilize today’s standard wheelchairs due to almost complete lack of movement. Well, it might not be long until these people find freedom in the wheelchair of tomorrow.

Dr. Bill Bright passed on this past Saturday evening. He was perhaps the most influential person of faith who has lived in this past century. The 4 Spiritual Laws and the The Jesus Film have been translated into over 800 languages so that almost everyone on earth could see and hear the message of [...]

Airbag has a great post about how Extroverts are getting all the cool Web apps. So, he created Introvertster. Nice job Greg… especially helpful is that quick-and-easy packet flooding tutorial. It really does stop those pesky IMs. ;^)

The latest Saddam tape acknowledges the deaths of his two sons as he vows revenge. But does anyone believe this guy? This is actually just another piece of information that will help us track down this murderous dictator and give the people of Iraq some peace of mind.

How cool would it be to design, build and then “live” in a new virtual world? One of the great things about technology is that it is always growing… larger… bigger… and more powerful. The kinds of worlds that can be created now are a far cry from Wolfenstein-3D. What would you want your virtual [...]

As Israel is in the process of handing over control of two West Bank towns to Palestine, it’s interesting to note that the amount of terrorism on the part of Palestine has dropped considerably ever since America put together the coalition to put down terroristic activities in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is a positive by-product [...]

Broken bones aren’t usually funny, that is, unless you are a comedian and it happens just 15 seconds into your act. The audience thought it was all part of Mark Olver’s act. He played along. “I was in a lot of pain, but managed to do about 15 minutes of material while on the floor, [...]

A friend asks, “Do you like Chevelle?”
“Who do they sound like?” you respond.
That’s a big question in the world of music. As this 2001 article on Wired points out, “The most common way to get introduced to new music is via the radio, but this tends to aim at the demographic ’sweet spot’ and leaves [...]

Despite the many obstacles, the history book for one, Lance Armstrong is one day away from capturing his fifth straight Tour de France. It appears that all he has to do is stay on his bike and avoid a catastrophe, then he’ll be back next year to go for a 6th title, which would put [...]
