Well Microsoft has released the BETA of Windows 7, the next version of the Windows operating system. Built upon the Vista platform for both look and feel, my early testing shows that they should have waited to release Vista and released this OS instead. I’ve had very few problems – there were drivers for everything in my system (except for a sound card, which I gerry-rigged to work). The only problem will be applications, which is the current problem with Vista and x64 platforms in general. I had a problem early on when I was BETA testing Vista and I […]

Even with a porn convention (AVN) in the city and hosting the city’s largest convention of the year-the consumer electronics show-nightlife in Las Vegas is abismall, nonexistent, one generally lackluster.

Well doggonnit I did it again. Like Britney Spears hearing the siren song of the bottle, I bought into the hype about the gay nightlife of Las Vegas. Now I have to say, Piranh Las Vegas is a cool bar sometimes with a hotties, but you really have to wonder when they send text messages like these in the span of a couple days: —— SMS Text —— From: 68398 Sent: Jan 11, 2009 12:48 AM Subject: G Vegas G Vegas UPDATE: PIRANHA PACKED AT MIDNIGHT!!!-LINE OUT THE DOOR!!-VIP SOLD OUT-ITS GOING TO BE A LOOOOONG NIGHT OF PORNSTARS AND […]

Change.gov: The Obama-Biden Transition Team | Apply for a job. Ever thought of working for the government of the United States? We’ll check this link out and submit an interest application. Who knows you might be the next Press Secretary… OK, probably not, but with 1000s of positions available in the Executive Office to fill they all can’t come from Washington insiders 😉 !!

I have been to nightclub 1/2 block off the strip within the Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino complex quite a few times now and each and every time it is a major bust. Bartenders, waiters and staff in general who are somewhat akin to dealers at the craps table inside the casino. For those of you who don’t know what I mean by that — listen up: people who work in casinos are usually the dullest, most sedate, truly lifeless people on Earth. Because they’re there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, day-in-and-day-out they’re there just waiting for […]

I was subscribing for a chemistry.com profile the other day and there was a question that gave me pause. Here’s the situation: You recently met someone special. You’ve been out together a few times and had planned to meet for dinner tonight. A couple of hours before you were scheduled to meet, you got the following message from him on your voice mail. This is what the voice mail says: “Hey, it’s me. I have to work late tonight, so I can’t make it. Call me.” After listening to the message, answer the following two questions: C’mon now, do you […]

Stock Market Quote for the Dow Jones Industrial Average$INDU – MSN Money. First full-day of trding for 2009 provides a sizeable gain, but will it continue? The volume wasn’t stellar at 213 million shares traded, but it wasn’t that bad either.

Only 51 more to go and we will be back in the same boat again… 😉

Merry Christmas and have a healthy, wealthy, andvery prosperous new year! As for me, I’ve been in the house for a Couple months and I am so elated to be a home owner. Oh, and I haven I stopped traveling by the way – as a matter of fact, just this very past weekend I became for the second time in my life a United Airlines Mileage Plus 1K – what does this mean? I have flown 100 flight segments in One calendar year. Just imagine how much of my life has been spent on an airplane – but I […]

I remember something a friend mine used to say to me and others several years ago – ”God takes care of babies and fools”. I think of all the times I was one or the other of those: in foreign countries I went to places places I shouldn’t have, corne back to the hotel in the wee small hours of the morning, and event went to places the even locals did not. When I lived in New York and in Chicago and would get drunk, take the subway home and never experienced a life threatening event. So that was when […]
