Notes

Used OpenOffice.org draw program. It let me import a PDF, that was a building map and over lay information pretty easily. Thank goodness it has layers and allows them to be switched on and off, and frozen when needed. It was fun.

Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria Bahrain. There are crackdowns in China. People are blowing a gasket in The U. S. over unions. Why now?

Someone at work mentioned a sign at their kid's school that said "Promote your school ..." Something about participating in a fun run for charity. The sign also read "This is not an excused absence." Talk about something worthy of Fail Blog.

I heard the phrase "How many of you in the audience are under 40?" I nearly wept.

Windows 8 is on its way. Fantastic.

Twitter is great for forcing people to get to the point. It is wonderful for slicing off fluff. Some of the content is profound. Some is funny. Some is interesting. The VAST VAST VAST majority is just too stupid for 3 consecutive coherent complete sentences. Do I think Twitter and Twitter like products will last? People still raise carrier pidgins. There are not many working telegraphs.
