These seem kind of cool. I'm tagging you KAT!

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
   I was working a summer internship at Nokia and living in Las Colinas. That was a really cool place to live, but I was taking 6 hours in summer school, I think Signals and something else, and working 20 hours a week, so I didn't have much time to enjoy it. I met the girl I'd date for the next four years in the signals class.
   
2. What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?
   Just finished. That's why I'm blogging.
   
3. Snacks I enjoy:
   Ice cream and chocolate. Blizzards are my favorite indulgence, I guess.
   
4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
   • Use half my money to better people's plight in Africa. Maybe mostly buy businesses and move them there.
     
   • Buy a Gulfstream intercontinental jet so I could go to any country at any time in hours.
     
   • Restore a couple WWII bombers at the local airport I've had my eye on. Keep one and donate the other.
     
   • I guess retire and relax.
     
5. Places I have lived:
   • Orlando
     
   • Dallas
     
   • Lubbock, TX
   • Houston
     
   • Phoenix
     
   • San Francisco
     
   • Now Phoenix again. ;-)
     
6. Jobs I have had:
   • Classified
     
   • The dude who designs cell phone towers
     
   • Budget dude

Okay, I hate when non-experts blog about PC applications and electronics. Don't think I'm a geek, but this could make your life easier.

Mozilla Firefox:
I'm sure you've heard of it or use it, but Firefox has a new update. I never really looked at the add-ons until a couple of days ago. They have some great ones. I installed AdBlock Plus. This thing is awesome. It blocks ads on websites. Great for work, too. No more ads of half naked chicks popping up on your PC when your boss stops by your desk. And WOT is pretty cool, too. Check out this link.

PS3:
I don't know when I became a techno idiot, but I must be one because I was totally in the dark about PS3's media features. You can run your PS3 as a media player to stream your video and music files to your TV and stereo system. All you need to do is update windows media player. It also plays files straight from the blue-ray player like a computer. And you can even browse the internet from your PS3. This thing is fucking amazing. I don't know why they don't advertise this. It's worth it even if you never play a game on the thing.

It's started.

Nothing. Assholes can't drive.
Glad I had the opportunity to answer.

This is a lullaby from They Might be Giants. It was in their children's book. I got it for my daughter. Pretty good, though.

I've begun to wonder if America is ready to elect a black president. It seems like it, but personally, I was very disillusioned when Ron Kirk, a very popular black mayor from Dallas, lost in his bid to become Senator for Texas. I guess maybe it was because he was just a Democrat, but the numbers seemed to just go too far away from him for me to completely believe that.
Anyway, If Obama can't do it now, maybe it can't be done. Republicans aren't gonna make it any easier. I guess the experiment has begun.
Please chime in to tell me what you think.
