Election Day -- Don't Stay Home - 10/31/06 04:09 PM
I urge everyone who can to vote in the upcoming elections and to encourage neighbors, friends, and family to do the same.
There's been a mild controversy in our state this year because of the recorded telephone messages.  They are not against any Missouri law; they are usually short, but as has been pointed out, some cannot really be disconnected until the recording is over.  Whoever figured this out was concerned about the possibility of an emergency and the phone is unavailable.
The first one I got truly sounded like a person.  I was answering questions, yes, no, yes, etc.  Then, the caller … (1 comments)

Halloween beyond the candy - 10/31/06 03:51 PM
Candy is cool.  I don't have any problem with the candy.  I buy some to send to my grandkids.  I buy some for me.

Technology Tools -- Plain & Simple - 10/15/06 11:48 PM
When considering  portable technology tools, don’t forget the ever serviceable Wood Processor.
I LOVE my laptop, desktop, pda, recorder, scanner, printer, microphones, headsets, calculators, cameras card readers, usb hubs, external drive -- any and all electonic toys. I keep an electronic typewriter handy for quick typing jobs and crave a label maker. 
But, sometimes when my hands have garden dirt on them, or horse dust, or bread/cookie dough, or the moment is just too short to boot something up, the notebook and pencil for documentation is essential.   I just need that time, phone number, address, reminder, quick note about who said what … (0 comments)
