TGIF, Just Two More Days to Work This Week

Google experienced a slowdown of services yesterday. Most occurred during the early morning hours and went unnoticed. However, it peaked around the noon hour. Folks this is no big deal. Happens to EVERY website. And it will happen again. Noteworthy only because of Google's dependability! Seems a router had problems with USA and Asian traffic. All is well now. Please understand that they carry at least 5% of the web volume at all times. I bet that router was reprimanded severely (insert evil grin here). Check more info at the Google Blog.

Still studying this Kindle + blog thing offered by Amazon. Looks like you list your blog and they sell subscriptions for nominal fees. Doesn't sound like my type of service. Will keep watching though. Don't get me wrong, I really like Amazon. Very good site that delivers their products in a timely fashion. Almost as good as NewEgg.

The CIA has warned Israel not to bomb Iran's nuclear project without checking with the Obama administration. This is prompted by a recent change in Israeli government that tends to be hawkish. Yeah right! Like Israel thinks they need our permission. NOT! That idiot that leads Iran, think his name is Mouthmood Imadinnerjacket, needs to quit being a mule's ass and join the human race. I, for one, would not want the country of Israel mad at me. They don't play around. Look at what happened in Iraq a few years ago. Read more at FoxNews.

Beach house activities are behind. Up at 5:30AM doing laundry. Full day in the field and then a weekend of constant chores. So I am outta here!
