This guy doesn’t own a computer. He updates his weblog from public internet access facilities. **Unbelievable**

I have SAD Social Anxiety Disorder. Although I can’t say that SAD, alone, was the cause of my homelessness, it was a major contributing factor, along with the right kind of life experiences that lead a person to homelessness. And, as much as SAD played a part in my becoming homeless, it plays a more significant role as an obstical in my attempts to leave homelessness.

It’s gonna be here in just a couple of weeks. Are you planning on a purchase?

Microsoft is reeling a bit. Can other smaller developers take advantage?

For the first time in years, Microsoft seems vulnerable.

The technology recession, strategic miscalculations and general wariness following the Justice Department’s four-year antitrust case have resulted in a psychological shift against Microsoft throughout the industry. Rivals and customers are sensing opportunities to challenge the software empire after decades of presumed invincibility.

I really hope this is the case. There really does need to be more competition in the industry for the best software to be made available to the general public.

This is just getting better and better!

Almost 12 hours later I walked out with a handful of others (a lot of people left…but not TORN!). I was amazed at the fact that there were still MORE things we hadn’t seen on this DVD! There were over 2000 concept art sketches, an interactive map of Middle-earth and New Zealand. And FOUR full tracks of commentaries from producers, directors, artists and actors from the film.

Those who vow not to get ‘milked’ into buying this edition of the DVD will cave in as fast as Legolas can sling arrows and shoot them, my friends…this is DVD making at its finest.

Maybe my wife will understand now why I have to own it [[:-)]]

Well… of course it is (if you’re a fan like me :-), but according to this review, it’s a must have for everyone!

Some movies feel so perfect that sometimes one may not want to know how they were made, fearing that too much insight into the production process may spoil one’s enjoyment of the film and destroy the magic. Not in this case. As much information as this “behind the scenes” DVD provides, it cannot diminish a filmgoer’s enjoyment of the film. On the contrary, it makes the experience more pleasurable. And somehow, you feel you were a part of the whole experience. This is not just another movie, this is something special, unique, a true landmark in moviemaking. Like many cast and crew members, I do believe that this is an historical event.

I’m not sure I like the sounds of this.

Microsoft said Friday that it has transferred the head of its Macintosh business unit to another division, leaving open the question of who will lead the company’s Mac efforts.

In recent years, Microsoft has been pretty kind to the Mac platform. I hope that this news doesn’t bode ill for the future.

Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize! All I can say is that **It’s about time!**.

Former President Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for his commitment to diplomacy over war…
Carter, 78, was cited for his peacemaking during and after his White House years, including brokering the Camp David accords in the Mideast, mediating other conflicts around the globe, serving as an election observer and promoting human rights.

He should have won nearly 25 years ago when he got Israel and Egypt to talk to one another about peace.

In an [[IMDB]] poll about the most eagerly awaited December releases, TTT is stomping the competition!

The current standings have TTT at 63%, and the second place movie at 9%!!! Yeah!

This article claims that there are good uses for [[Spam]]. You be the judge.

Consumers are increasingly applying the stigma of spam to marketing messages of all stripes, causing headaches for legitimate advertisers on the Web and beyond.

In my opinion, there is no legitimate reason to send me email that I didn’t ask for. ***PERIOD***.

You just gotta love what a weblog can do [[:-)]].
