It’s been so long since I’ve been in the office much less the city. I’ve forgotten what it is like to interact with co-workers. What it’s like to be able to chat about a problem for a few minutes or simply catch up on what someone has going on in their life. Until telecommuting can solve that problem, there will always been a need for humans to be in the office. No matter what technology is invented to allow people NOT to be in a central office, they will still PREFER it. Simply because humans are social creatures. Even if when we are in the office we wish to be home, once we have been for some time, we long again for being around people in the office.
Earlier I was riding Bart and noticed that chivalry has all but disappeared. When did it become OK for men to sit while women stand holding onto the handrails? Is it because of the feminist movement or do men simply don’t care anymore? It was nice to see ONE guy get up for a woman that got on that had a broken foot. If this had been the 50’s or maybe even the 60’s all the men would have been standing and allowing the women to sit. Perhaps we guys just don’t know what we are suppose to do. Do we show chivalry or simply treat every woman as if she is no different than a guy?
Honestly I think if we had more example of chivalry we’d be living in a more caring and understanding world instead of one that is so selfish and self centered. Can I go back to the 50’s? Oh but I want to take my iPhone! 
Recently I started to think what were relationships like. I came up with renting. I know, not quite as insightful or earth shattering as you might have expected. Perhaps this isn’t a giant mystery to some people but for whatever reason I never realized it before.

Found an article about the United States’s dependency on oil and why Ronald Regan caused 9/11.
OK, I’ve been looking at getting a Macintosh recently and have been checking out reviews and weighing my options. I was sent a link to a comparsion article.
After reading it and the comments, I started to have my own thoughts and decided to put them on paper…ok the web but you know what I mean.

I recently bought a new iPod mini. I’ve resisted for so long since I have one of the first Windows based iPods (10GB version). I’ll admit I felt a little cooler than everyone else when I pull out my older iPod. It’s my way of telling people, I knew iPod was a cool thing when you were still in diapers. Oh ok, well maybe it wasn’t that long ago but it is in technological years.
So I decided to buy myself a new iPod mini because I really want to listen to my iPod while I’m working out. My older model is just too heavy to use it while doing physical activity. The new mini’s are slightly bigger in disk space (6GB instead of 4GB), light, available in stronger colors (meaning more “manly” colors) than just all around cool.

Came across a website that is quite scary. The website Hartz Victims, documents the vet bills, sickness and even death of pets after their owners bought and used various Hartz products. It’s not as if these products are experimental or were used in some way they were not intended to be. These poor owners bought the product and used it because it was on the shelf of a respectable store. How were they to know that even though such products are under the watchful eye of the EPA as well as various State and Federal regulations, such a product would be allowed to be sold after causing so many deaths and problems. I thought that’s what these regulations, rules, laws and guidelines were suppose to be in place in order to product the citizens of this country. No instead, they keep them on the shelf and keep collecting your money as they send your pet to the grave.
