Considering I am closing in on 35 years old and this is my 100th post, I thought this humorous post appropriate. I pulled this from a chain email that was recently forwarded to me. Enjoy. When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things [...]

Job’s is your 21st century medicine man selling you sugar water at the street fairs. The Macintosh, Macbook, Ipod, Iphone….all novelties. Innovative, yes, but just enough to suck you simpletons in with “easy to navigate”, “simple to use,” and hop on the Apple truck.
I used to think that social networking sites (SNS) were only for the “socially active.” But nowadays, they’re everywhere. You used to only be able to get SNS on your laptop or PC, but now SNS has spread to Androids, iPhones, iPads and the like. With this degree of spread, it seems as if anyone [...]
