New Reviews Blog

Just a heads up I have a new blog Geekzen Reviews.  I am not stopping this one, quite the contrary.  I am enjoying this form of expression so much that I have doubled and soon I may split another one off, but that's in the future.  Soooooo if your interested in tech and software reviews head on over to http://geekzenreviews.blogspot.com and see my first review.  It's an expanded review that appeared here but hey, it's a start :-)

Bring on the Vampires

I'm a blood donor. I admit it I love needles :-D JK. Actually giving blood is easy and fast. It takes less than an hour of your time and blood is very needed in this country. During the Summer we only have 1 days supply at any given time. Without donors we would be in big trouble. Please give today........ American Red Cross

Oh the reason I used vampires in my title is due to the fact that I just gave the other day, my next date to give is on Oct 31st. LOL how's that for irony :-)

Kent County - It was an odd sight over night in northern Kent County as dozens of hay bales caught fire.

It happened around 1 a.m. on Fruit Ridge Avenue near 11 Mile Road.

Two fire trucks from the Sparta and Alpine Township Fire Departments responded to the blaze which could be seen from quite a distance.

Officials on the scene say the fire may have been caused by spontaneous combustion but arson has not been ruled out.

No one was injured.

Korean Air is banning iBooks!

Korean Air is banning both Apple and Dell laptops on all its flights due to the "exploding" battery phenomenon. This unfair ban affects all Dell laptops, but only iBooks and Powerbooks, not the newer MacBook and MacBook Pro lines. Geuss it's time to upgrade :-) Their solution? Take out the batteries and place them into checked luggage. Sigh, guess I won't be going to Korea anytime soon. I guess in the imortal words of the great philosopher Eric Cartman "Screw you guys, I'm goin home!"

The other Korean carrier, Asiana Airlines, says both laptop brands are still alright on their flights. Awwwwww, isn't that nice of them? AKA, sure, we'll take all there business and smile all the way to the bank :-)

Steve Irwin, Croc Hunter

Well, by now it's common knowledge that Steve Irwin has died in a tragic accident. The news is all over the net and just about every blog I subscribe to has made some comments. Even with this barrage of coverage there are still things to say and not just the facts.

I have been a fan of Steve for a long time now. There have been many times that I though he was borderline insane but he was ALWAYS entertaining. He re-inspired a sense of awe and respect for the environment and creatures of this world that has not been seen since the hay day of Wild Kingdom or the Jacques Cousteau specials of the 70's and 80's. I believe that he did more for animal rights and respect than groups like PETA will ever do.

After my first child came along I discovered how good Steve was with children. I did not know this side to him. He was good friends with The Wiggles and was even in a few of their DVDs with his wife and daughter. Wiggle Safari, in which he had a lead roll, was one of the best video's for my son when he was an infant. It was the magic bullet for when he just would not stop crying. since it was that video and not other Wiggles one, it was Steve that brought the magic. My son and I still watch Croc Hunter together on weekends and I hope that continues.

We're going to miss you buddy! May your legacy and dreams live on in all of us!
