It’s been stormy all morning and threatening this afternoon. I did a little tweaking on the theme I’m using for this weblog and that’s about it for today. Exciting being me, isn’t it.
On the news front it seems that Jennifer Wilbanks is alive and safe with cold-feet in Albuquerque. To be honest, I felt that […]

An Airbus A380 took off for the first time from France’s Toulouse-Blagnac airport this morning. This was a test flight only, actual passenger service for the plane is another year away.

After a long period of giving up on My Yahoo! I’m back giving it a second look. I like what I see. I don’t know if it’s just where I am in my life right now or if Yahoo! has managed to tweak its portal offering to finally be of use to me but I […]
