Ho-ho-horrible: album sales plunge 20 percent this Christmas

Interesting article on the demise of the CD... as a side effect, it will also ring in the demise of the "album" as we know it... The masses will pick up DRM-free music but will be very selective on their purchases. So getting the latest Alice Cooper "album" will be a thing of the past -- you might just pick up one or two tracks (the ones that hit the radio or the satellite broadcast).

AOL Pulls Plug on Netscape Web Browser- Columbian.com

Netscape is dead. It's been a long time coming. I don't think Netscape ever recovered from Microsoft's onslaught early in the browser wars.

Now go get Firefox!!!

Pope's exorcist squads will wage war on Satan | the Daily Mail

The Pope believes in the Devil :-) And wants to crush him like a worm with prayer. It seems that the youth of today are corrupted by the internet and rock music... "The night time is the right time, the night time is the right time" (Adam Sandler reference). It's comments like these that are turning people away from the church -- at least IMHO...

Wishing you all the very best in 2008! Happy New Year Everyone!!!

This is a great time to reflect on the year that was... take some time -- go back and look at the photos you've taken this year. Look at your busy calendar and see what you've accomplished! What would you have liked to accomplish? Are these goals still within reach? Make a plan and take some action!

All the best from my family to yours!
