It’s not too uncommon to go to any sports field or arena in America and seeing a woman actively using her cell phone or laptop computer. At one time, it seemed the majority of women cared more about their laptop; than the actual live sporting event they were attending.

Things are starting to change more now and women are actually watching what’s going on at a football, basketball, or baseball game. There are a lot of ladies who like their sports and will actively root all game long for their favorite sports team to win. One of the most famous sports fans in baseball, who is a woman, would have to be actress Alyssa Milano.

Just do an Internet search for “women baseball fans” and you will find a lot of links pointing toward the famous star of TV shows like Who’s the Boss and Charmed. Milano even has her own line of clothing for female baseball fans and she came up with this great idea; while having a hard time finding clothes that fit properly at the MLB games she was attending. I know Alyssa Milano is the biggest ladies fan for the L.A. Dodgers. She is a lot like another famous actress Penny Marshall (Laverne from the Laverne & Shirley television show) who is probably the biggest NBA fan for the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team. These two ladies are showing the rest of the World it’s fine to be a woman and a big sports fan for a professional sports team.

So don’t be surprised to see a woman yelling or screaming louder than you, at the next sporting event you attend next time. I’m sure we will still see some women talking on their cell phones or checking their emails from a laptop computer at the ballpark. I do believe times are changing and being a sports nut isn’t just for the guys any longer. If you do see a woman using her laptop at the next game you go to; she might just be checking other scores from around the league. Or she could be checking up on some stats of the opposing team and seeing what her boys will have to contend with for the game you are watching right now. The ladies of sports are using less tech gadgets at the ball parks and sporting arenas, as their main focus has turned to the game itself.

Millions of Americans have fallen in love with Apples new digital offerings like the iPad and the new iPhone 4. While these devices have set the bar for multifunctional devices there are still some basic features that many of would like to have control of such as the movies we can watch. We all know that you can go through iTunes and purchase or rent movies to be seen on your new shiny iPad but what about those DVD’s that we own already and would like to be able to watch them on the road with our ipad or iPhone. If you have an iPad,iPhone, or iPod then it’s real easy to start watching movies on it. All you need is a DVD Ripper program like the one from ImToo to start watching all your favorite tv programs, movies, and DVD’s.  You will be able to download the converter to your computer, and with just a few mouse clicks, you’ll be watching your videos from your device. You only need to download the converter, to start watching all the action from your device. There so many possibilities with this latest software from ImToo that they have even released the DVD Ripper Mac for those who want to take their Mac experience in ripping and burning DVD’s to the next level. You don’t have to be a computer expert, to get this converter working on your computer, and watching all the videos from your iTune library.
You can even convert all your video files and formats to your Mac with their new Video Converter for Mac which supports over 150 video formats so those video compilations that you are hoping to create your own special project can now be a reality.

The history of music and our desire and interest in it goes way back to the earliest of civilizations on Earth. What probably started out as a few beats and bangs with a perfectly timed grunt, to give the music of our first ancestors a little rhythm, I think they would have been truly proud of our progress in the music field. Well that, and probably the 100 story skyscrapers, automobiles, cell phones, and our computers would also probably have caught their attention too.

The thing that amazes me the most about music is the ability for it to reach so many people. We are talking rich or poor, smart or dumb, old or young, men or women, adult or child, and it goes on and on to the different classes of society; who are bringing their head phones with them, where ever they go. There are so many music fans out there, from the different walks of life, who are constantly keeping their ears covered. So they can hear their favorite songs and musicians; while not bothering others. Modern technology has allowed musical ear pieces with tiny wires to carry these musical sounds into our own head. We don’t offend anyone with our choice of tunes, when we keep our listening headsets on, because it’s only loud enough for the closest ear to hear. If people around you do start to complain about hearing your music from the headphones; perhaps you could go look through some headphone reviews and replace your old set with ones that keep the music more concentrated or just learn which head sets have a lower amount of volume.

You can take a drive through any big city in America and see the guy in the 3 piece suit, with a portable cell phone receiver in one ear and his iPod in the other ear. We can go from corporate America right into the worse streets and neighborhoods in the inner cities and see boys and girls both walking the streets and bopping to their musical beats. For those of you who enjoy watching sports like me; you probably seen a team bus for a pro or college sports team before. When these luxury buses pull up to the stadiums and arenas; just about every athlete that gets off the bus, will have some style of headphone gear on, so their music can either relax or pump them up for the big game.

When you see just how many people are affected by music and how the numbers keep growing for people who want to carry their tunes with them; it makes you wonder if music has a higher power? Does music hold any of the answers to why man and everything else in the world exists? Maybe it’s a more simple explanation and one of the modern nations of the world is slowly hypnotizing all of us through music, so one day they can take over the World? Or maybe it’s just because tech gadgets continue to get smaller and smaller? The tiny musical devices we have now, are as easy to bring with you, as wearing a watch to work everyday.

Ordinary Folks Traveling to Outer Space

Throughout the history of man, it has always been in our blood to travel, take long voyages, and explore new territories of land on Earth. Just about every man, woman, and child living on this planet today, has that curiosity inside of them and we always want to see what is on the other side. Now that we have made it to the 21st century without destroying our race with disease, nuclear weapons, or other things that could put us back into the caveman days. We have just about went to all of the corners of the Earth and there is only a few remote pieces of land we haven’t stepped foot on and the bottoms of our oceans are still a bit of a mystery, but we have conquered Mother Earth for the most part. The only other direction we have left is up and space will be man’s next and biggest challenge ever, when it comes to feeding this curiosity we have about the moons, stars, and other planets; which do exist in our solar system.

Yes, the next big Lewis & Clark adventure will take place in outer space and we already have a lot of good technology in place, that is making space travel possible in the first part of our new millennium. While the space program was invented in the 20th century and very much operational then too, it’s really not that big of a story; when it comes to our abilities to travel away from the Earth in the 21st century. However, only highly trained astronauts and space people were getting the chance to leave the planet and go where very few other men and women have gone before. If you wanted to travel to space in the 20th century, you would have had to complete a high level of education courses and training for the chance to go. The overall numbers are still relatively low for those who have traveled to space compared to the 8+ billion people on our planet who hasn’t been beyond Earth’s gravitational field yet.

Other than a few other high-tech countries, the main launching pad for space travel has always been reserved for the men and women working with NASA. If you ever wanted to go or had dreams about traveling to outer space, you were going to have to get NASA’s permission; not to mention the use of their technology and space shuttles to get you there.

Today the study and technological advancements for outer space and space travel come from a variety of really smart people, private companies, the military for various countries, and the wealthy citizens of the World. All of these modern sources are contributing things and ideas to the astrological equations; which could make traveling to space a real possibility for more than just NASA employees and astronauts.

I find it interesting at the number of wealthy men living in our country and in other parts of the world and how a lot of these filthy rich men want to make the trip into space one day. The 21st century is going to create multiple space vehicles, for multiple paths into the open space that is beyond Earth’s furthest atmosphere from her ground. Some of these billionaires will still be young enough to make the trip and most of them will get a chance to conquer one of the last thing’s in their life, they haven’t conquered yet, because you figured most challenges they have over came to be so rich now.

I haven’t made up my mind yet, if given the opportunity by NASA or a private space travelling company, if I would choose to go. I can tell you one thing for certain. If I had a few million dollars in the bank; then there is no way in the World I would think about travelling to outer space. Why risk it? I know for the rich people out there, they have always had everything they needed or wanted in life (for the most part). I don’t have dreams about taking trips to space, but I do have plenty of dreams and desires of being rich enough, so money wasn’t an issue in my life. I know they say the more money you have, the more problems that come with it. Well I have lived the life of a poor man for almost 4 decades now and the problems I have had to face in life hasn’t been a bowl of cherries. I would like to be given the opportunity to face those rich man’s problems and the ones that come with having a lot of money. I can’t even for one second see how any of those problems would even come close to the everyday problems and real life struggles I have today. So my dream is a simple one. I could make a million dollars last for the rest of my life. I actually figured it out to a smaller number and came up with 680,000 dollars. If I was given or won 680,000 dollars; then I would be able to do enough online work to put with my monthly interest I would earn on that sum of money and could sail through life a million times better than now! Guaranteed!

Now getting back to the trips to outer space. How much would you be willing to spend or what lengths would you go through, just to have the chance to make a trip to space one time? Instead of charging a price for a ticket to space, it looks like the private companies are posing these questions to the men and women, who really want to fly into space one day. The trips to space for common people is going to be a bidding war or work much like an auction does. The ones who have the biggest bank accounts, will be the ones getting those first seats into the dark and never-ending reaches of outer space. I don’t really have a problem with that. Obviously there is going to be a lot more people wanting to go; than these spaceships have the seating capacity for. So something would have been needed to make it a fair chance for all. Money does not equal power, so letting the ones willing to pay the most, is a fair way to choose passengers for space and using money would be in the best interest of these private flights to space companies.

I do look forward to seeing average people making these trips to space. I know most of us should see at least one person we know, go to space in our lifetimes. It’s going to be that common, where a conversation will take place at the water cooler and each employee will have known a neighbor, a relative, a former employee, a friend, or someone who has signed up and taken one of these private trips, toward the stars of the pitch dark sky, which we simply know as outer space. As far as we know, this is truly man’s last frontier…

Is the gas prices in your area holding steady? Surprisingly with the World supply of oil running out, the prices of gas are not skyrocketing yet. I really thought the BP oil crisis in the Gulf of Mexico would cause a sharp increase at prices at the pumps, but we haven’t seen that yet. The leader of a South American country is threatening to cut off the oil to the United States and we will have to see how that affects prices at the fuel pumps.

Our gas supply isn’t going to be around forever, so eventually we will all have to live without our limited supply of oil. Everyone should be happy with the low prices we pay now, because it could have been a lot worse. The BP oil spill is still a long ways from being totally fixed and I wonder how much the U.S. taxpayers will have to spend to help clean up the oil caused by the disaster in the Gulf.

What is the most per gallon you could afford to spend at the pumps?

A. $3.50 a gallon

B. $4.50 a gallon

C. $5.50 a gallon

D. $6.50 a gallon?

All 4 of these are benchmarks we might see every 2 years starting next summer. I do think gas prices will soar to $3.50 a gallon and go up $1 every 2 years; until we are spending $6.50 a gallon on gasoline in the United States of America. Is your family prepared to pay for gas prices like these? If not, now is a good time to start thinking about jobs that are closer to home or buying a new home closer to your job. This should also impact any future vehicles you plan to buy new or used in the next 3 to 5 years. Gas will not be around forever and the whole world could run completely dry starting in the year 2019. We may be able to buy a few extra years, if we start trying to cut back now, but no evidence like that of any kind is taking place on any continent on Earth.

If you are currently searching online for an eye cream that works, I may have a good suggestion for you. You can find a lot of websites online, that will offer eye cream reviews or give product suggestions. Go to www.eyecreamsthatwork.net and see if this website can help with your online search for a good eye cream. An affective eyecream will use quality ingredients and give results in a short amount of time. If your current eye cream is showing no signs of help, you may need to switch to a new brand.

I love the Internet and how it has helped us to find more information than we ever been able to before. Just about anything and everything can now be found online. Searching for a good eye cream product is just one of the millions and millions of things you can use the Net for. What recent searches have you did online and was able to learn something new from your computer?

No matter what your home or the things inside your home are really worth, they are still more valuable to us than anyone else. Even with that being said, some people still like to take things that are not theirs. It’s just the type of society we live in today. For those that already have a home alarm system inside their house, may want to search for other things that can help to protect your home. The homeowners with those long driveways and can’t see the end of it from the house, could get a security product for their long driveways. A driveway alarm is an excellent way to alert home owners for new company that is arriving or for a car that is just turning around in their driveway. It’s almost like having a doorbell for the driveway. The same way a doorbell will alert a home owner a visitor is at the door, is the same way these alarms for the driveway work. It’s an affordable way to add a little extra security to your home.

Adding extra lights to the outside of your home is another way to help secure the household. Most criminals will not bother a home that is full of lights at night. They prefer to travel in the darkness where they can’t be seen. The lights on the outside that keep the yard illuminated at night, makes it easy to see if anyone is in your yard that shouldn’t be there. There are a lot of other simple security steps and products a home owner can get, if they are worried about prowlers roaming around their home at night or day.

Having a sluice box for finding gold is a must for anyone that likes to go gold prospecting. There is only so much material you can work with a gold pan and once you find an area that has a few flakes of gold, you can work the area much better and faster with a gold sluice box. A brand new sluice box can cost $60 or more. So it may be a little costly to buy one right now, but you can make a cheap homemade sluice box for finding a little more gold.

Taking a piece of pipe like this (with no holes in it) is a great and simple way to make a homemade sluice box. My buddy that goes gold prospecting with me, made me and him one to use and it works pretty good. He took a piece of this pipe and cut it in half, like it shows in the picture. He took two small pieces of wood that was the same length as the pipe and nailed them to each side of the pipe. This provides support, so you can bring your pipe out of the water without it bending and causing you to lose material. The person in the picture above just took a small piece of wood that had a little width to it and screwed it to the very bottom of the pipe. Either way will work, but if you take two pieces of wood on the sides of the pipe, you won’t be creating any openings in the bottom of the pipe. This person in the picture will have to make sure there is no way for gold to escape from the bottom, by choosing to secure the wood at the bottom of the pipe.

We had already been finding a little gold before we had our homemade sluice box. We just wasn’t able to work through a lot of material, when we went gold panning. Now with our homemade sluice box, we can work a whole lot more material and we use less energy too. During these hot weather days, like we are having now, it is important to conserve energy and drink lots of fluid while gold panning. Even with a homemade sluice box, it still takes some work and energy to retrieve that gold; which has been hiding all these years from human eyes.

We are now finding more gold and a big reason why, is because of the homemade sluice box we have now added to our gold finding operations. If you have a friend or a gold finding buddy you can rely on to go gold panning with you, it does make things a lot easier. Two people can find more gold than doing it by yourself. I know you have to split the money two ways, from all the gold you do find, but it makes the gold finding job much more fun. I also think it helps gold prospectors to stay more motivated, if you have someone else you can count on to help you look for gold.

I believe we will buy a real sluice box one day. In the meantime, we will continue to get our homemade sluice box wet, so we can find those few extra flakes of gold. We are planning a trip today, to go looking for some more gold. I believe we are going to try a new area this time and see if we can get into some bigger gold pieces in the hills and mountains of North Georgia. All of the gold hasn’t been found and there is still plenty out there to find, for anyone that wants to get in the gold prospecting mood.

Here’s a guest post written by my friend Mike Semeskey.

Wow! It sure is getting hot outside and I just can’t remember the last time I sent an actual letter by actual snail mail that I had to walk to the mailbox or post office to send! Today’s society is so technology bound that, to be quite frank, I just can’t seem to live without my internet and TV, thanks to Cable and Internet Bundles. Not even for a day! I mean, right now, here I am at my computer desk, on the internet with my TV setting right in front of me. It’s almost ludicrous the way people watch TV these days!

On a typical Saturday, I get up, get myself something to eat, and turn on my computer. After that, the next couple hours are spent checking my Myspace and Facebook, my email, and reading the Yahoo homepage. Oh boy, then after that I watch all my favorite shows on Directv

Oh, I just can’t live without my cell phone, internet, or for that matter my television. I mean, even if I could go without it, I would always have somebody who was trying to get a hold of me. The world is so used to having this easy communication that we wouldn’t know what to do without it. It would be a catastrophe for most people!

A big woman or one that carries a little more weight than a normal size woman can be romantic too. She needs to feel and look her best, just like all of the other women of the world. It isn’t always easy for a bigger woman to find clothes that fit or match her taste. Women that do carry a little extra weight on their bones, can find lots of attractive plus size lingerie online. The lingerie sections at most stores don’t offer a lot of sizes in the large and extra large areas for women. It can be difficult for a plus-size gal to find the clothes that make her feel good and sexy at home. Luckily these women have modern technology they can rely on and can find a lot of these over-sized clothing items online. If you have been having trouble finding clothes that fit your specific size, you may want to search online for these hard-to-find items. You can certainly cover a lot more places on the Net; than you could do by traveling from one department store to the next. I think woman all over the world and especially those that are bigger-sized women, will love the way they can shop online in 2010.

The British Petroleum group or BP supplies a lot of the world’s oil to people everyday. You probably have filled up your car once or twice with the gas made by BP. Now since the fire in the Gulf of Mexico and the massive oil spill that has followed it; the BP company is in some major trouble. It’s already been 45 days and there is still no fixes to this oil spill problem. I’m not sure how you plug a leak that is more than a mile under the ocean’s water in the Gulf of Mexico. You would think someone would know what to do in getting this oil problem solved.

The BP company is going to lose millions and millions of dollars from this oil accident in the Gulf. Their stock prices took a big hit last week; when one of the attempts to repair the oil leak failed. They are still working hard over the weekend, to get this problem fixed or at least slowed down enough, where the oil would not be noticeable. The United States is already seeing the oil washing up on the Gulf States beaches. Lots of birds and fish have already perished in this oil, that now covers most of the water in the Gulf of Mexico. It looks like the pretty, sandy beaches of Florida are the next victims in the BP oil spill. The only way BP might can save some face right now, is to offer their gas at the pumps, cheaper than any of the other oil companies. Consumers are now doing a ban at the pumps, so BP will have the extra gas, if they want to sell it at a discounted price. The BP Oil Spill in the Gulf continues…

I use to love taking the Flintstones Vitamins. Those are the ones you could chew up and they tasted great. I could eat those vitamins like candy, they were so good. I never do recall a vitamin for boys and then another one for the girls only. It seems as kids, the vitamin formulas are not that important for boys and girls. While as we get older, the formulas do change and we see vitamins for just men and womens vitamins. I wonder what the main differences are and why men and women need their own vitamins? If it is important for men and women to have their own vitamins, it seems we could do this in kids too. The younger we are, the more important it is for us to build our bodies right. A child’s nutrition is the building blocks for them later on in life. I think the vitamin companies should start with the kids, if a vitamin is different for males and females. It just seems like it would work better in our youth, instead of waiting for us to grow up and then giving us our own vitamin.

Is the newer exercise machines of today, really better than the ones we had yesterday? The simple invention of the treadmills and other similar equipment, seem to do as much good as the modern exercising machines. It seems the newer ones do offer features on the speed you might be walking or running on a treadmill. You may have a digital gauge to offer a few more helpful things, for those that want to know these numbers. You still get the same workout and make the same progress, even if you didn’t know these digital stats that some tread mills offer.

A lot of exercise equipment is collecting cob webs. Eventually the owners of these exercising machines will dust them off or they take them to a flea market to sell. I travel to yard sales from time to time and usually you can find a weight bench, a set of weights, or a treadmill selling for a good price. The used exercise equipment doesn’t normally last that long for their new owners. If you know you can stick to a workout program, it’s best to buy new equipment. Also, investing money into an exercise apparatus, forces some people to stay more committed on their exercising goals. Be sure to set your goals high, if you do invest in a piece of exercise equipment. You can always go back to adjust them.

A new series of programs are coming on the Discovery Channel. These programs are hosted by the genius Stephen Hawking. He explored many different areas of our world in the shows that came on Sunday night. Don’t worry if you missed these airings hosted by Stephen Hawking. You can catch a new show next Sunday on the Discovery Channel. They’re entertaining to watch and these programs will get your mind thinking. He does a good job on shedding light about different technologies and the future tech gadgets we can expect in the near future.

One of the things I learned last night was the cosmic speed limit. I have never heard of this before and apparently there is nothing in the world or universe that is faster than light. Light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per hour. According to Hawking and the natures of physics it is impossible for anything to go faster than this speed. The show last night never really went into why this is so. They talked about a train that could travel at almost the speed of light. If such a train existed, would it be possible for someone on the train to starting up the aisle, so they was traveling faster than 186,000 miles per hour or the speed of light. They said it was impossible and things would slow down too much for that to happen. I wonder why that is? This is also a method for time travel. It really gets complicated now, because a fast train could travel into the future. This same train that goes near the speed of light could spend 1 year at this speed and when the people got off the train, the world around them would have aged 100 years. I’m not sure how that works, but apparently speed or being near a large object in mass will slow down things for those people and the people not nearby will be aging faster. Our satellites in space that we use for GPS have a faster time system on board; than we have here on Earth. Apparently being on Earth slows us down more than someone living in outer space. Since we are near the big mass of the Earth and people in space are not.

Time travel is certainly interesting, but I have a feeling our dreams at night hold some secrets to time travel. I have had amazing dreams that go back in time. Now 100′s of years, but they do take me back to the 1960′s and 1970′s. I know that may sound strange and all of our dreams have a lot of crazy things in them. I have been able to teach myself to know when I am in a dream state. From my early findings, it appears my dreams are going back in time, but I did have one that took me 4 or 5 years into the future. All I can remember about that dream now, is the fact the world didn’t end on December 21st, 2012 like the Mayan calendar predicts. My future dream was a couple of years ahead of this time frame. I want to learn more about dreams and their meanings. I also want to find out why nothing will go faster than the speed of light. A black hole is said to be so strong that even light can’t escape. It would seem something in the black hole has an energy source more power than the speed of light and this would be the first place I went to look for answers and trying to find something that would travel faster than 186,000 mph.

I’m hearing stories that the Atari 2600 is not the best game in town anymore? Is this true? Oh, so new gaming consoles are out now and they are much better than the Atari 2600. No matter how good the games get or the systems that play them, there will always be a place in my heart for the Atari2600. This was really the first game system I ever owned. I did have the Pong game, but you could only play Pong on it; which was like Ping Pong. It’s really the first video game ever for the television set. It was the Atari 2600 that put a new twist in the video game industry. The new Atari system gave video game players a chance to play many different types of games. I wish I still had my Atari 2600. It would be fun to go back and play some of those great games that came out in the early to mid 1980′s.

Did you ever own the 2600 model from Atari? Perhaps you got in on the 2nd wave of games from Atari and got one of the Atari 5200? It was a better gaming system or had better graphics than the original Atari system had. I never did buy a 5200 model Atari, but did own 15 to 20 games for the Atari 2600 version. I believe it was Nintendo that came out and gave us the Mario Brothers game and this is what took the older gaming systems down a notch. Now you have the Playstation and Xbox video gaming systems that are popular and most kids today have never heard of Atari. It should be interesting to see where video games take us next and just how big the televisions get that we play these games on.

Remember the old days, like maybe 10 years ago, when we had a certain number of pictures we were limited to take? We would go buy those 12, 24, or 48 exposure films and that’s all the pictures we could take. My oh my have times have changed and I hope we don’t have to ever go back to those days again. The digital cameras on the marketplace today are fabulous. If you haven’t bought a camera in recent years, you may still be taking pictures the old fashion way. These new cameras with their high tech digital features pretty much have an unlimited capacity for taking pictures. Most digital cameras have the space to hold hundreds of pictures and plenty of snap shots for a family reunion, wedding, birthday party celebration, a graduation event, or any of these other special occasions that people like to take pictures at.

People that like to travel or bring a camera on the family vacation will want to pack a digital camera in their suitcase. A lot of travelers will stop by a convenience store or a drug store and buy one of those disposable cameras. These are handy little cameras and are cheap to buy for those that want to take a few dozen pictures. However, once your exposures are used up, it’s time to take the whole camera in, so they can get developed and this means no more camera for you. The next time you have a trip or an event you will want to take a few pictures, it’s back to the store you go to buy another whole camera. All of these disposable camera costs can add up and pretty soon you will have spent over the price amount a digital camera cost in the first place.

It would be wise to go ahead and make the investment for a new digital camera, so you will have one for all occasions. You will also have the luxury of taking picture after picture without using up your precious exposures. You can take a ton of new pictures on your digital camera and can go back and keep the best ones. You will capture more of your precious memories on a digital camera than you would with any old fashion cameras or the disposable cameras that appear to have a cheaper price tag. In time, you will save more money with a digital camera and have a whole lot more pictures too!

Some areas just don’t have a good cell phone reception. Probably due to a lack of cell phone towers in the area or something blocking the signal. You probably already know of at least 1 place that your cell phone cuts out every time. I think we all have these bad reception areas. A cell phone booster can help you connect in these poor signal spots. No need to have those cell phone blues; when a booster can get you up and talking again. The phone companies are trying to add more cell phone towers and work out these kinks, but it’s a slow process. I wouldn’t wait for them to get your signal working. A cell phone booster is something you could pick up today and find instant relief. The cell phone technology hasn’t quite caught up on getting the signals out; compared to the tech these new cell phones are being equipped with today.

It might be a little difficult to find “alone time” in the bathroom, if you had one of these toilets that came with it’s own fish aquarium. You would have the fish present every time you needed to go. You would also have lots of guests and visitors that would want to see or use this unique toilet bowl design. I have seen a few unique toilets, but I believe this is the best one yet. I don’t think the fish will be too happy with the flushing process. It looks like this would drain their water out, but would be a simple way to change the fish bowl each day. Actually at my house, they would get plenty of new water each day with all the flushing we do.

If you would like one of these Fish N’ Flush Toilets, they really aren’t that expensive. Depends if you think $300 is too much? I was figuring a higher cost, so was a nice surprise for me. However, three hundred bucks is a lot of money to me and would have to really want this fish flush toilet to spend my own money on it. Perhaps someone will see this blog post and buy it for me as a gift.

There is a video over at YouTube that shows this fish toilet in action. You can probably go from there to get more information on this cool and interesting fish toilet. I may have to check around and see what other toilet designs are out there. A toilet just by itself is a piece of comedy and then adding the smallest things to it, can cause tons of laughter.

The future is now here and so much new technology has arrived at our doorsteps. Our television sets showing bigger and clearer pictures is only the start of the technology wave we are currently in. Our computers are getting us around online faster and the computer monitors are getting bigger and crisper today too. A few high-tech upgrades here and there and using a more advanced KVM switch; has made our technology future arrive much sooner than expected.

No one knows what’s in store for us tomorrow. We may be growing and pacing ourselves too fast and not fully comprehending the modern knowledge we have on the table now. I believe the tech industry will be focused on the energy issues we’re facing now all over the world. Technology is meant to improve our lives and the greatest improvements may come from the areas of energy. The way we use it, how we use it, and ways to reuse it; will all be things we will have to consider as we go forward.

Over the last 10 years or so, what has been the best technology created in your eyes? Anything with your computers or TV viewing habits been affected with the newest inventions over the last decade? I couldn’t live without my DVR now that I have with my satellite company. The digital video recorder has allowed me to watch my favorite programs and in less time, by being able to record them and fast forward during TV commercials. I find this is a great way to watch sports on television too and I will record all of my games with the DVR. I’m sure others have their own tech stories, that they could share, on some of the changes that has made their TV or computers better now than they once was. I don’t think we have to wait any longer for the future to arrive. I believe it’s here now and we need to find ways to use it in our daily lives.

I think I am confused. I thought cell phones were used for talking and I don’t think I’m right. It seems a cell phone these days is like a keyboard and people use their fingers more than they move their lips.

Do you own a cell phone? Of course you do! What I should of said; do you use your cell phone for talking or texting? I guess cell phone users do both, but I wonder how many are choosing the text feature over the talk feature?  What do you use your cell phone for more?

A. Talking

B. Texting

C. About the Same

Please let me know if your fingers do the walking or is it your lips doing the talking. If you go out in public, you don’t see that many people actually talking on their cell phones. You will see a large number of people with cell phones in their hand and can see them looking down at their cell phone. I know some people will send emails, surf the web, or just play games on their cell phones.

Personally I don’t care what cell phone users do with their phones. You bought and paid for your cell phones, so you should be able to use them however you like. Just make sure you’re not the driver in front of me that is talking or texting on a cell phone, because I will make it a point to let you know, that I see you using your cell phone. We have known about the dangers of talking on cell phones and driving. People just don’t drive good when they’re talking on their phones. Now that the texting trend has taken off so well; we are seeing the dangers related to texting and driving. I can’t text a message properly; while sitting in my comfy recliner at home in the den. I don’t see how anyone could text and drive at the same time. The sad part, it is happening and the results are not pretty. Families are losing loved ones, due to people driving and texting on their cell phones at the same time. If you’re going to drive, then please be sure to drive. If you need to make a phone call or send a text message; then just wait or pull off at the next place you see down the road. Please don’t do both, because you’re endangering your life, the passengers in your car, and the other innocent folks that are out there driving too. Cell phones and driving is much more dangerous than drinking and driving and we all need to know this and pass this message along to others. Buckle up and be safe out there!
