Finally the Truth about Abe Lincoln Comes Out

I was a fan of Pride, Prejudice and Zombies. I still have to read Sense, Sensibility and Sea Monsters that I received last Christmas. This is going to be on my reading list too. Please welcome the latest book to the genre “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”.

Is there no problem that beer can solve?

Give a pint, get a pint!!! I love it.

Cascade Regional Blood Services says the promotion has worked so well at six Tacoma pubs and breweries, it’s expanding its “Give blood, get beer” offer to its bloodmobile for pubs in Federal Way and Steilacoom.

Funniest iTunes Review I read in a while

Was browsing through iTunes and saw that Muppets from Space is listed. I have to admit that this is where I learned of my favorite muppet Pepe the King Prawn. (I have his book BTW)… so anyways like I tend to do I looked at the “most critical” reviews. All the reviews are 5 starts except for this one star review.. which just made me laugh.

This reminds me of a holiday display near my office back in 2002. Of course I have a picture. It showed a DUI Santa that crashed into a fence.

Before There was Twitter and Facebook

Before Twitter there was Western Union

Before Twitter there was Western Union

I was scanning some more family photos and documents, and came across this Western Union “Storkgram”. For you young folks, a telegram was the Twitter of it’s day. I can not help but see how the technology has changed in my lifetime.  This telegram was sent to my Grandfather  from my father when I was born. Besides my father having to pay per word on this bit of communication that took hours to be delivered, I’m sure that Western Union was able to charge him an extra few cents to use the “Storkgram” paper instead of the standard message.

While we are at it, 50 years from now are people going to find printed Facebook and Twitter pages about their birth announcements? I just realized too that this is my father tweeting in 1958!

Twitter is now worth millions of dollars yet we do not pay for it as consumers. Think about this for a moment, how does Twitter make money?
