YouTube – “Are You Listening” with Kirk Franklin & Friends

On March 11, 2010 in Found on the 'Net
YouTube – “Are You Listening” with Kirk Franklin & Friends. I’m very late on hearing this, but I certainly enjoyed it.  It seems EVERYONE was able to do a more heartfelt and compassionate musical tribute to Hati than the “We Are The World 25″ remake. Kirk Franklin is a great songwriter – especially for songs like [...]

On March 9, 2010 in Found on the 'Net
LINK: Your Brain Can’t Handle Your Facebook Friends Check out the above link for a quick and interesting article about the Number Robin Dunbar is credited with defining.

On November 29, 2009 in Unclassified
Black Friday came early for me – Wednesday to be exact.  I went to Best Buy to see what I could grab before the rush.  I found the Gateway LT2032u for $279 – much less than what I saw anywhere – and this wasn’t a sale price! So I grabbed it and am happy I [...]
