Where was this guy back in 2004?!?!

War Room - Salon.com

If anyone owes the troops an apology, he said, it’s “George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, who misled America into war and have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it.”

Rock on, Kerry-dude!

News from Ben

So last week Ben came home frmo school with a notice saying that his teacher would like him to start attending a before-school math tutoring session. It said something like she felt our child could benefit from some additional help.

I was very disappointed because I had always heard from Ben that he did well in math. And after the shake-up at the beginning of the year where he was hiding some homework that wasn’t done I was wondering what was going on with my guy. So all of a sudden he needs special tutoring BEFORE school?!

ugh.

While I was disappointed in this news I was encouraged by his apparent enthusiasm for it. He actually seemed excited about it. I thought that was pretty fortunate because if the kid is struggling in math its great that he’s optimistic about it.

I had it all wrong. ALL WRONG. The class isn’t for kids who are struggling. Its for kids who are doing exceptionally well!! The teacher took all the smartest kids in class and asked them to start coming early so they could learn more advanced math concepts!!

HOW GREAT IS THAT?!!

I was so wrong and it felt so great to hear that! I LOVE news like that!!

Ain’t that great?!

Digitial photos

AdoramaPix

So I got an advertisement from Adorama Photo for their new digital photography service. Just like Shutterfly or Ofoto you can send them pctures and they will develop them and send them to you.

I used the promotional code PXHAWE06 to get 50 photos for the cost of shipping ($5). Which is great! I had a bunch of pictures that needed to be developed.

October 31,2006 | NEW YORK — Google Inc. has acquired a California startup that develops online collaboration tools known as wikis.

The announcement came Tuesday through separate Web log postings by Google and JotSpot Inc. Terms were not immediately disclosed.

Wiki tools, popularized by the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, let users to create, modify and even delete information on what others in a group have worked.

As JotSpot makes the transition to Google’s systems, new registrations have been suspended.

JotSpot has both free and paid versions. The free, JotSpot-hosted service restricts the number of pages and the size of the collaborating group.

Shares of Google rose $2.32 to $478.89 in early trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
