I signed a petition to ban smoking completely in bubs and clubs for Australia.

Yeah!!

They banned it in Ireland and it actually increased business for pubs. They banned it in Canada, New York and San Francisco.

Wings to the West

I need to write about my addiction to the West Wing. (thank you Aaron Sorkin). I love it. Most TV is crap. I watch some ABC and some SBS but I don't watch anything on 7,9 or 10. I don't know if that means I've got taste or if I'm just a snob. Who cares? I've got four seasons of West Wing!

It's
Fast
Furious
Intelligent
Funny
Compelling
Well written
Pretty human
Interesting
Educational (chess, FEMA, etc)

Yep. I love it.

Thanks to Phil and Rob for fanning the flames.
Thanks to Nath and Kate for sharing the early days.
Thanks to Wayne, Sal, and Karen for loving it as much as I hoped you would.

My favourite episode is the Stackhouse Filibuster. I openly cry at the end of it (if I'm watching it alone) and blubber like a baby for several minutes. Maybe it's my outlet.

Anyone else?

"What's next?"

Happy as

You know, today it's just feeling good. Occasionally when I used to play basketball and was feeling the same way, then the ring would look like a hoop that I couldn't miss.

So I'm just gunna keep on smilin away and keep going.

Thanks everyone.

What have you done for us lately?

A college student at a recent UC Bezerkeley football game challenged
a senior
citizen sitting next to him, saying it was impossible for their
generation
to understand his.
"You grew up in a different world," the student said loud enough for
the
whole crowd to hear. "Today we have television, jet planes, space
travel,
man has walked on the Moon, our spaceships have visited Mars, we even
have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with
light-speed
processing, and, uh ."
Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the geezer said,
"You're right. We didn't have those things when we were young;
so we invented them, you little creep! Now what the hell are you doing
for
the next generation??"

I love it. It is super. Super.

What are we doing for the next generation?

More freedom?
More prosperity?
More creativity?
More leisure?
More understanding?
More community?

I just backed up my Google Gmail contact list (something that they don't facilitate because it might mean your leaving, but probably just means your backing it up like I am which is quite paranoid for big strong tough Google...) and found that I have 1099 contacts. I think that maybe 900 of them are for things and people I don't know, but I thought it was quite a lot. I guessed at 400 even with crap like [email protected]

I might do a send all one day, when I'm bored and see what comes back.

Man, I really think Google man have gone to far with this one.

I don't know. Seems a bit heavy handed.

Google Purge

It's the latest ploy from Google. I think they've got the right idea in mind, but it's a little over the top.

What do you think?
