The SuperBowl is today. Will the Patriots make history or will the Giants pull off an upset for the history books. People are talking about the Patriots being the greatest team of all time and Tom Brady being the best quarterback ever. Maybe they are right, but we’ll never know. One thing we do know is both Tom and the Patriots need to be mentioned when the conversation of the greatest comes up.

Last night I went to Mark and Rachel’s for Rachel’s birthday party. We also watched the UFC fight. It was fun and the fights were pretty interesting because someone that was seemingly getting his but kicked would reverse a move and have to other guy tap out in a matter of seconds.

That’s all for now. Its about an hour to kickoff so its time to start the party.

I’ve been gone for a while, but I have a new philosophy on posting. My plan now is to post more often, but make them a lot shorter, occasionally adding one of my typical multi-paragraph posts. That’s almost it for now, but I also want to comment on Microsoft’s unsolicited bid for Yahoo. Why? I don’t see much advantage in combining two companies that are losing to Google. Microsoft needs to continue its path of smaller acquisitions that pick at Google one piece at a time while Yahoo would be better in the hands of a company that doesn’t currently have a significant online presence; think IBM or AT&T.

By the way, just so everyone knows, I haven’t stopped writing during my break, I just haven’t posted. I have over a dozen drafts that haven’t found there way to the website, but may slowly appear post dated.

Life is sexually transmitted.

Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.

Some people are like a Slinky … not really good for anything, but you still can’t help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

Number 5
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00 and a substantial tax cut saves you $0.30?

Number 2
In the ’60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Number 1
We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America, but we haven’t got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.  Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

… a little misleading.

A few more points on Windows Mobile 6:

• The phone unlock function is more secure. Previously if you had a 4 character password the phone would let you know if you got the password right or wrong after you entered the 4th character. Now you have to hit the unlock button after you enter the password so the phone does not give away the length of the password.
• The new text message icon is different than the new email icon.

I was on the Norton Anti-Virus site earlier today and noticed something that I can describe as misleading at best.

If you take a close look at the picture you will notice price to buy via download, package, or download with a backup CD are the same, $39.99. My problem is the download and backup CD option says “add $9.95″ below it. If I have to add $9.95 to the price, how can you say the cost is $39.99?

Another problem I had today was the pricing of Norton Anti-Virus 2008. It costs $39.99 to upgrade from 2007 to 2008, but only costs $29.99 to buy 2008. Thanks for rewarding loyal customers.

Nothing I can say would do this story justice.
