Of course if you like history like I do. From This site I did not write any of this, I’m just hosting it in a different format on this site. This came from http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/timeline/ww2time.htm 1918 Nov 11 - World War One ends with German defeat. 1919 April 28 - League of Nations founded. June 28 - Signing of the Treaty of Versailles. 1921 July 29 - Adolf Hitler becomes leader of National Socialist ‘Nazi’ Party. 1923 Nov 8/9 - 2008-05-15 19:41:49 PDT http://technorati.com/search/amazingscott.wordpress.com/2008/05/16/random-world-war-two-timeline/ 0 0 http://tomforester.com/05/15/dads-present-project-pine-flooring/ http://tomforester.com/05/15/dads-present-project-pine-flooring/ Thu, 15 May 2008 19:23:37 -0700 My folks live out in the country and have the coolest house that they are always remodeling in some way or another. My Dad has put a whole heck of a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the place and just keeps right on going year after year. I’m lucky that my Dad and I have a good relationship going on at this point and time and that he makes an effort to call and talk with me every other month or so. There is always going on with him and Mom that he shares with me and I treasure the times that 2008-05-15 19:23:37 PDT http://technorati.com/search/tomforester.com/05/15/dads-present-project-pine-flooring/ 15 27 Tom Forester http://vitruvianmind.com/2008/05/15/on-technology-and-you-and-me/ http://vitruvianmind.com/2008/05/15/on-technology-and-you-and-me/ Thu, 15 May 2008 19:12:04 -0700 In a recent post on VM, I wrote about how many people we can realistically be intimate with…and that technology enables us to maintain relations with more people than we can hold dear.  In a tangential topic, I’d like to highlight an article I recently read in the Economist Special Report on Global Nomads.  It is called Family Ties and I wish [...] 2008-05-15 19:12:04 PDT http://technorati.com/search/vitruvianmind.com/2008/05/15/on-technology-and-you-and-me/ 2 12 Vitruvian Mind http://venturebeat.com/2008/05/15/mainstream-imminent-twitter-traffic-almost-doubled-from-february-to-april/ http://venturebeat.com/2008/05/15/mainstream-imminent-twitter-traffic-almost-doubled-from-february-to-april/ Thu, 15 May 2008 19:05:17 -0700 When talking about the micro-messaging service Twitter, a lot of people recently have gotten hung up on its mainstream appeal — or lack thereof. I’ve argued that if current trends continue, this will come eventually (though I’ve also argued it doesn’t really matter for the service to be useful). Today, some data from Compete suggests the same thing. For U.S. visitors, traffic has almost doubled from February to April alone. The service is now pulling in nearly 1.2 million people per month.

We have been seeing several ads on the television lately that have gotten our interest sparked big time. So in an effort to get me moving on the project she went on-line and found a web-site of www.remainactive.com which has several models that look like what we are interesting in.

This is bad enough on the surface, but it gets a triple badness score when you consider it told the FCC the contrary this past February. Ben Scott, policy director of Free Press, said in a response: “Consumers have no reason left to trust their cable company.

The way I saw it there were two options: First, don’t respond. Maybe just pretend you didn’t get the letter and didn’t check the Internet today. Or second, come back with a response so long that it will bore Icahn out of wanting to acquire you. Yahoo chose the latter.

Got hit with the flu pretty bad over the weekend and just made it back to the office today. In the three days I was out, my IT Dept. managed to make it through another re-org (not sure what the impact is yet, but all I know is my project budgets have been re-instated), Wenky has fully incorporated profanity into his daily vocab, Romie is back and in full effect, and the best news of all….got word that the cunt I 2008-05-15 18:16:55 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.theuserpool.com/tech-babe/2008/5/16/big-small-world.html 1 9 Tech-Babe - The User Pool http://grovesmedia.wordpress.com/2008/05/16/a-decade-of-broken-promises/ http://grovesmedia.wordpress.com/2008/05/16/a-decade-of-broken-promises/ Thu, 15 May 2008 18:00:38 -0700 This weekend is the 10th anniversary of the human chain around Birmingham when the city staged the 1998 G8 summit. To mark the day debt campaigners have released a new study showing that for every $1 developing countries receive in aid, they need to pay $5 in repayments. The Jubilee Debt Campaign report, Unfinished Business, claims that despite the commitments made, only $88 billion of debt has actually been cancelled.

Sales of the U.S. video game industry grew at a red hot 47 percent in April to $1.23 billion, up from $839 million a year earlier. Brisk sales of “Grand Theft Auto IV” at the very end of the month helped drive sales upward despite a recession that has hurt consumer spending in other areas, according to market researcher NPD Group. Year-to-date sales are up 31 percent over a year ago at $5.47 billion.

A green shirt with an Apple logo on it and the location of the newest - and largest - Apple Store in the United States. BUT, the shirt does not say BOSTON on it. It says Boylston Street.
