News........
Today is National Underwear Day!!!!!!!!
Los Angeles may try to block Wal-Marts.
Toys 'R' Us may stop selling toys.
There's a new bagle computer virus. It has 'price' or 'price quote' in the message body and has an attachment.
A good friend of mine got an internship with a school district here in Texas. Congrats to her.
Waiting to hear back from prospective job opportunity. Said it would be about a week. Well it's a week +1. We'll see that's where 'about' becomes that terrible word in laws that say 'reasonable'.
There, I just unlocked another secret. I'm a computer geek as well. Not as much as some, but I know my way around a computer. That reminds me.
Urban's Philosophy: "Don't opnen any unknown attachments from people you don't know."
That will prevent 99% of the chanes of inevitably getting a computer virus. Not to mention this blog being able to help those family and friends whom I have to remind to regularly update and run anti-virus software and programs. That makes it much easier than to work on a computer when I visit. With that instance coming up, I've realized that computers have become more and more 'high maintenance'. People can say they can remember when the Internet was safe. Well, now we're in the middle of a war zone. I can remember computers pretty much taking care of themselves, apart from their software glitches that were more prevalent in the mid-80's and early 90's. Now it's active control of the content and protection of information.
It really does prove that first there was the move towards manufacturing and mass production, but that our global society, with the U.S. being only but a handfull of countries who are leading into the truly information age, where information is worth more than the physical product. Where speculation is worth and/or can cost billions. Just look at the oil market.
