The World Revolution

Back in the day everyone though we needed this to remove unwanted leaders.

But now the world has moved on. Now all we need is this!!

Google Is Goin Down!!! Hep Hep The Sky is Falling!!

Are pigs flying today? The only thing on Google that's working for me today is Blogger, GCal and sometimes GReader. What's up Google!! Do we need to hit the universal reset button??

They Are Among Us!

They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail

I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The cashier rang up $46.64 charges. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favour.
She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back same scenario!

I departed the store with the $46.64.

They Walk Among Us and Many Work Retail

I walked into a Starbucks with a buy-one-get- one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said 'buy one-get one free.' 'They're already buy-one- get-one-free, ' she said, 'so I guess they're both free'. She handed me my free Lattes and I walked out the door.

They Walk Among Us!

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, 'Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked up at the sky and said, 'Where?'


They Walk Among Us!

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the North?. When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, 'Oh I don't keep up with all that stuff.'

They Walk Among Us!!

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, 'The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.' He responded, 'Is that Eastern or Pacific time?' Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, 'Uh, Pacific.'

They Walk Among Us!

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.


They Walk Among Us!

My friends and I went out to buy beer and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

They Walk Among Us!

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?'

They Walk Among Us!

While working at a pizza place I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces.'


Yep, They Walk Among Us!

Buzz Fail

Google Buzz in not working that well today when you click on Buzz in GMail it brings it up with what seems to be an updated portion of your stream, but you get the little "loading" sign at the top, an after a minute it changes to "Still Working"... But nothing happens. It seems to me this bug is slowly working its way around the planet. Will the Google Buzz Team figure it out??? I think they will, small inconvenience to put up with.

So far, in my opinion Google has done a great job with all their services. Some have been a bit quirky, but we have all learned from our experiences, and helped build a better Google.

I hope Google keeps pushing the envelope and helps make the internet a better place for all!

A New Source Of Currency

Where is the written word going? I've been working with computers since before there was a internet. In this bright new digital world, there is one thing we are seeing less and less of, the written word. EMail is replacing letters to family and friends. When we want to find out how to do something we turn to Google. Newspapers are shifting to digital media to stay alive. Now books are slowly becoming the next relic of a time gone by. Ebook readers can hold entire library's to read. The written word is now 1's and 0's. Printed books will eventually disappear because paper will become to expensive to produce. When this happens printed books will become a sort of currency. People will trade collections for goods and services more and more. Will our Great Great Grandchildren see newly printed books, no not in the amounts we currently see. Could a collection of Harlequin romance novels become a bargaining tool for a condo in Cabo San Lucas? Will Library's become banks? I can't see the future but this is one part that just might happen.

MyArt My OS ChromeOS Nikola's is one of my idols!! A man way ahead of his time. He defined the modern world of electronics. Nikola's Letterhead (And How Tesla Won the War of the Currents) [Lifechanger] by Rosa Golijan 12 people liked this - you, and 11 more This was Nikola Tesla's letterhead. It reminded us that along with the often overlooked little things which change our lives, we need the loud, filthy, slaughter-filled battles just as much. Like the dirty War of the Currents. Just in case you're not familiar with the War of Currents—one of my favorite messes in the history of electricity—allow me to catch you up. On one end of it all we had Nikola "Wizard of the West" Tesla, George Westinghouse, and alternating current. On the other hand was Thomas "Dirty Fighter" Edison and direct current. The whole trouble began when the United States were ready to move away from Edison's idea of direct current and try that newfangled AC. Dear ol' Tommy couldn't just sit back and let that happen. So, he did what any man in his right mind would do and started a smear campaign against the new system: [He spread] disinformation on fatal AC accidents, publicly killing animals, and lobbying against the use of AC in state legislatures. Edison directed his technicians, primarily Arthur Kennelly and Harold P. Brown, to preside over several AC-driven killings of animals, primarily stray cats and dogs but also unwanted cattle and horses. Acting on these directives, they were to demonstrate to the press that alternating current was more dangerous than Edison's system of direct current. When that wasn't enough, Edison got a bit more personal: He also tried to popularize the term for being electrocuted as being "Westinghoused". Years after DC had lost the "war of the currents," in 1902, his film crew made a movie of the electrocution with high voltage AC, supervised by Edison employees, of Topsy, a Coney Island circus elephant who had recently killed three men. Considering that we don't refer to someone being shoved into the electric chair as a "Westinghousing," I'd say Tommy didn't do so well. Anyway, we're not here to make fun of killing animals, Tommy's lost war, or to brag about Tesla. The point is that a good idea—alternating current—wasn't taken down by a dirty fight. And that, ladies and gents, is a #lifechanger. Letterhead image from Letterheady. Some information from Wikipedia and the Nikola Tesla Museum
