Updates to the blog…

Well, I’ve had fun, over the past two days… I’ve been copying over entries that I had written at MySpace over to this blog… I really don’t know why… Maybe I just see the need to have all of my thoughts in one place, besides, I’ve vowed to blog here and only here (at least until I can find a publishing tool that will allow me to post to several sites at once).
All of these former MySpace posts have been designated with a MySpace icon, and have the date that they were published… Sorry, I didn’t feel like keeping the time accurate…
I will be going back through all of these entries, and trying to tag them. For that matter, I will be trying to go back through ALL of my LJ entries and tagging/re-tagging them. I really didn’t care for the system that I was trying to create with the tags, so I am just going to choose keywords rather than categorizing… should be a bit simpler for me to accomplish, plus it will seem to follow the model that everyone else out there uses…
So, if you haven’t read the old MySpace blog entries, then please, feel free to hit the archives…

Countdown Monday: The Petraeus Report

oh, just some comical national news… interesting reads….

Countdown Monday: The Petraeus Report

A Report Report Card: Not since April 28, 1967… when General William Westmoreland addressed Congress on America’s expanding military role in Vietnam… has so much attention been focused on a briefing by a military commander. But… in our fifth story on the Countdown… when General David Petraeus tried to begin his prepared remarks on Capitol Hill this afternoon… not even the microphones wanted to hear it.
Surge Gets Four Stars: Kicking the can down the road…Buying the President more time…Or, in starker terms, giving him more leeway to get more Americans killed in Iraq. Frank Rich of “The Greatest Story Ever Sold”…
History Repeats: It must be true.. if you live long enough, news begins to have a deja vu quality..Hearings interrupted by protest.. Generals called on the carpet to explain an unpopular war… books cooked and young people dying unnecessarily… the public with little or no faith in government or its leaders. That was then, during Vietnam. It’s also now. Our third story tonight, the slow and disastrous breakdown of our government — and the link between that time and now.
Stalls of Justice: For 27 years, he’s been creating the laws of the land in Congress. Yet in our second story on the Countdown, Senator Larry Craig now expects a judge to believe that a veteran lawmaker such as himself didn’t understand what pleading guilty really means.

WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD: Brit Hume, former White House Chief of Staff Andy Card, and a group containing former Bush Under-Secretary of Defense Jed Babbin, and John Gibson and Greg Gutfeld vie for tonight’s top honors
Less is More: Step aside Lindsay Lohan. Take a pass, Paris Hilton. And don’t even think about it, Nicole Ritchie. In our number one story on the Countdown… Britney Spears once again rules… as the train wreck du jour. Last night she turned in a super-hyped “comeback performance” that was met with the universal cry of… “Go back!”

Turned Off iPhone Gets $4800 Bill from AT&T

Um, I don’t think I want an iPhone anymore…

Turned Off iPhone Gets $4800 Bill from AT&T
Tech.Luver writes “Jay Levy says he has been stung by Apple’s iPhone pact with AT&T after he took an iPhone on a Mediterranean cruise. They didn’t use their phones, but when they got back they had a 54-page monthly bill of nearly $4,800 from AT&T Wireless. The problem was that their three iPhones were racking up a bill for data charges using foreign phone charges. The iPhone regularly updates e-mail, even while it’s off, so that all the messages will be available when the user turns it on. “”

Method of Reading Discovered

this article isn’t as much fun as the text and links provided as comments… go check it out…

Method of Reading Discovered
Scientists have discovered that the method our eyes use to process letters on a page is different than previously believed. Instead of assimilating one letter at a time our eyes actually lock on to two different letters simultaneously about half the time. “The team’s results demonstrated that both eyes lock on to the same letter 53%% of the time; for 39%% of the time they see different letters with uncrossed eyes; and for 8%% of the time the eyes are crossing to focus on different letters. A follow-up experiment with the eye-tracking equipment showed that we only see one clear image when reading because our brain fuses the different images from our eyes together.”

Kentucky moves to fire six social service workers

In regards to the Elizabethtown DCBS office, state investigators found an “office that thrived on the power of controlling families by removing children from their biological parents and terminating their parental rights. Investigators said supervisors there were allowed to accept, reject or alter established procedures at will.”
Disturbing…

Kentucky moves to fire six social service workers
The six social workers were the focus of a state investigation and a report admonishing them for excesses, but no wrongdoing.

New Bill to Clarify Cellphone Contracts

While I believe that wireless contracts aren’t that difficult to understand (commonly it’s misconceptions and misinterpretations of the customer’s), I believe that this bill would be very helpful. Having the ability to terminate within the first thirty days of service, without facing termination fees is a great idea–the only trick, however, is that consumers would surely have to face the pains of having a non-refundable deposit if their equipment wasn’t returned in the same condition it was sold–otherwise the prices of handsets will have to be a little bit more expensive (where they are typically sold at a cheaper rate, where a discounted price is offered where the commitment for service is made)

New Bill to Clarify Cellphone Contracts
theorem4 writes to tell us that US Senators today unveiled legislation designed to empower cell phone customers across the nation by providing more protections and guaranteed options. “The Cell Phone Consumer Empowerment Act of 2007 will require wireless service providers to share simple, clear information on their services and charges with customers before they enter into long-term contracts; a thirty-day window in which to exit a contract without early termination fees; and greater flexibility to exit contracts with services that don’t meet their needs.”
