Just when I started to get over Hollywood and it's far left, socialist bias a story about another conservative beauty like the epic Ms. Angie Harmon surfaces.
Now I just want to know if she's a gamer. >.>

Please help hatch my dragon egg

So there is a website for collecting and raising these digital dragons and they asked me to join them. So here is my first egg:
Adopt one today!
It needs lots of love and affection (i.e. clicks from you) in order to hatch and grow. Please click on my eggs and hatchlings to help them grow.
I'll post more eggs as I get them here and you can return to see their progress when ever you like.
Thanks for your help.

A Few Apple Faithful Acknowledge 25th Anniversary – Just Not Steve Jobs


The BBC has an interesting article about the 25th anniversary of the Macintosh. It was 25 years ago that Steve Jobs unveiled the ground breaking Macintosh computer. The first personal computer built from the ground up to allow the user to "point and click" instead of memorizing and typing hundreds or thousands of text commands just to make a copy or create a new document.
It is interesting to note that Apple's commander in chief, Steve Jobs, intentionally avoids reminiscing, preferring to keep focused on moving forward and bringing out new innovations.
I am still a big fan of the Mac. In fact, in my personal life, the only use I've found for Windows is playing video games that don't run on the Mac OS. So, I've gone as far as installing Windows 7 on my Intel iMac under Virtual Box as a test and I was pretty impressed. I think Microsoft is finally catching up to Apple with their operating system.
Hey, it only took them 25 years.
