A sign of things to come?

I’ve heard it.  You’ve probably heard it.  Someone you know, when it is 10 degrees outside and snowing, says, “Well, where’s that global warming now??”.

As you try to fight off the urge to punch them in the throat, try to take a breath…count to 10…and calmly explain to them that global warming cannot be proven, or dis-proven, by single events, or even periods that seem to support it or discredit it.  Record heat waves in the summer do not mean it is absolutely, positively occurring…just like record cold and snow in the winter …

If you haven’t jumped in to the world of Twitter yet, it either means you have checked it out, but aren’t interested, have heard of it, but aren’t sure what it is about, or are sitting there right now saying, “What is Twitter?”.

Twitter is basically a stream of short, 140-character messages, or “tweets”, sent by folks from all over the world.  You can follow as many (or as few) folks as you’d like, and the range of people on Twitter is just immense.  You can follow celebrities, sports stars, or your neighbor.  (or us!)

The Milestone X is basically the same phone as the Droid X offered by national carrier Verizon.  However, do to trademark issues, the phones have to be re-branded when carried by regional carries such as Bluegrass Cellular or our main carrier, Appalachian Wireless.

The Milestone X looks …

Can you hear me now??

Well, the 2010 general election has come and gone…finally…and the results are in (mostly).

Across the country, folks lined up to make their voices heard, and if you are President Obama, you have to have heard them loud and clear.  In overwhelming fashion, the Republicans took back control of the US House of Representatives from the Democrats.  People are obviously angry that things aren’t really getting any better (although you culd also argue that at least they aren’t getting any WORSE), and the Democratic party bore the brunt of that anger…or as President Obama called …

Well, we are less than a week away from the election now, so let’s do some polling! (scroll on down to the bottom to start voting and skip my ranting) 🙂

I think most of you will agree that this has been about as nasty a campaign on TV as there has been in some time.

On at least one occasion, I saw an entire commercial break filled with nothing but campaign ads…no actual commercials…just attack after attack.  Not only has there been a seemingly endless stream of campaign advertisements, several of them have just been ridiculous.

Jack Conway’s attack …
