Well, I just found something I don’t like. It doesn’t bring the file name in with the picture. I collect pictures of my fellow Jaspers when I find them. I carefully put their name and class year as part of the filename. So why does Picasa make me title them after it sucks in my files. Arghh!

They Won’t Be Home for Christmas
by Laurence M. Vance
*** begin quote ***
The war in Iraq is lost. Although the president won’t admit that we are losing, he did recently acknowledge: “We’re not winning.” But the war has been lost for some time now. Even many who supported the initial invasion would agree with those of us who opposed the war from the very beginning that the point has long since passed the place where the United States could claim “victory” in Iraq. That point can now be measured in years. Wasn’t it in 2003 that Bush made the claim, in front of a “Mission Accomplished” banner, that “the United States and our allies have prevailed”? Although the death of every American soldier in Iraq has been a tragic waste of human life, every day that this senseless war continues makes the deaths of U.S. servicemen even more of a heartrending tragedy.
*** end quote ***
Get the boys and girls home now! It’s a mess. But, it’s now the Iraqis’ mess.

Argh! When you click on a menu like File or Tool, I have to run the mouse pointer down the menu to see all the choices. They are their buy just invisible. Once the pointer passes over them, they stay visible. A new for of microsoft security? I’ll reboot when I have time, but that’s a hassle. And, every once and awhile, I get a worse problem. Argh!

Hey morbid topic, but technology is where you find it!
I do my “alumni news”. Part of doing that is reporting obits.
(Side note: Some folks have accomplished great things. Some have pages written about them. Some sadly have nothing. Don’t you wonder what yours will be? That’s a ghoulish idea for a biz!?!)
In doing this duty, I usually put in a small note as a fellow alum. (many times it’s the only one!), and I notice that Legacy is the big player. By my eye and unstatistically, they have 80% of what I see. They’ve even figured some different ways to monetize the biz. Extra charge to post a photo. Extra charge to keep it up for a year. Extra charge to keep it up forever. I’ve wondered what they charge. Just out of curiosity.
But today, I found a Funeral Home that has essentially duplicated the function. SO it was cheaper for them to pay to do their own then to pay Legacy.
Interesting?
Was to me.

This is (imho) an excellent indictment of “public skools” and their “teams”.
When everyone is forced by threat of violence, and that’s what taxes are, people have to scrimp on things they would rather do. The fact that they get the short end of the stick doesn’t make it any less painful. Like Basat’s “broken glass” fallacy, where everyone can see the beneficial economic activity in repairing a broken window, few if any see the thing that were precluded.
High School Football also creates a peer pressure. Don’t dare gripe about having to pay for it because those who want it will dump on you.
The essence of a free marketplace is that two people can make an exchange because they each perceive that they are better off after the exchange.
In the example of High School Football, where I am forced to exchange my money for the “benefit” of the team, is of little comfort if I don’t have enough food for my children to eat. It doesn’t matter if it is pennies. Let the High School Football team “tin cup” around the community and beg for funds. The alternative is there are armed thugs (the tax collectors, as bad as in the movie Robin Hood) will rob you a gun point for them. Suppose that the High School Football tax is what I need to send my child to art class, pay my magazine subscription, or contribute to my favorite charity. It really does NOT matter what I choose to do with what I would pay in the High School Football tax, it’s MY choice. Not yours!
Here in NuJerzee, we are driving people out of the state with socialism and its taxes. I’m sure that when I become a senior citizen I’ll be leaving as well. And it won’t be the weather that drives me away, it’ll will be socialism, its taxes, and its rules.

For the last two days, the mouse has been screwed up. It would page down on its own. Wouldn’t double click. I reloaded the software for it several times. Rebooted innumerable times. Never figured out why, but it seems to be working now. Arghhh!

Bloggers Must Disclose Sponsored Posts

NEW YORK (AP) — A company that helps advertisers connect with bloggers willing to write about their products for payment will now require disclosures amid criticism and a regulatory threat.

Oh thanks goodness, mommy government saved us from the big bad bloggers selling their souls and an unsuspecting public down the river.
Save me, save me, mommy government, from the big bad internet.
Yeah, like anyone should ever trust the net as the source of truth.
For the record, I haven’t found any one dumb enough to pay me for these rantings. And, when I do, you’ll be the first to know.
Could it be that the FTC saw the criticism moderating the blogosphere’s behavior and they ran up to the front of the parade to lead it? Nah, that would assume that they could do anything during the holiday season.
Sheesh!

I guess I should try to get me resume in here. The “computers in the pits” have been down all day. And, everyone has frayed tempers. They can do the table accounting, order chips for the tables, rate players, give comps, or whatever else they do. :-) Guess they skipped reliability in their specs. Entertaining! I think they run windoze.
