The Sarah Palin Saturday Night Live (SNL) Appearance

I know I know, off topic but what the hey... this one was simply too flipping funny... enjoy! PS: given that mashable and many other blogs are piggy-backing off this skit's hype in an effort to grab some web traffic you may also want to do the same... enjoy! Too bad Palin didn't actually sing the rap herself but it still gets pretty high points... hopefully this one will be the final Palin installment on SNL!

How to run your car on water for about $100

Is this for real or just whacked... crazy but I don't think I'm willing to try this on the Expedition quite yet... and hey, where'd you find that $3.08 p/gallon gas???

Snowing lightly and messing around with Meez!

It's 4 AM, snowing lightly still (really beautiful outside with the first snow of the year) and the email is trickling in and slowing down with the Thanksgiving Holiday upon us... so, what else to do but mess around with Meez! Have a good one!

The motivator - create your own Geospatial motivational prints!

In the "slightly off-topic" category... More fun stuff for those of you that enjoy flickr as much as I do. this fun app enables you to create a slick motivational poster to hang on the wall, use in a presentation or what have you. Motivator enables a user to quickly and easily point to a flickr photo or upload an image to the server. then you simply enter a catchy title, a catch phrase and create a frame. Then you can save, print, or upload to flickr... fun and likely some useful applications, particulalry for you geospatial evangelists... have fun with this one. See Motivator here, see my motivational poster here.

No P.O.S...wow, now what?

Off topic but kind of interesting... here in Western Canada on a Saturday afternoon word has it that all the POS was out of serv ice... you know, point-of sale! Add to that, people at banks here on Vancouver Island were telling me that the "outage" in service also affected ATM machines as well... essentially that meant there was no use of debit cards for purchases, no ATM cash withdrawls etc... so if you don't have cash, credit cards or a cheque you are out of luck. I can't imagine now actually having a credit card of a cheque but there are actually people that don't (I know, I can hardly believe that myself!) I was in the bank doing some bizness and there was a lineup of people tearing into the poor bank clerks... like it was really their fault! One guy was so ticked because he couldn't buy any building supplies for his business.. ok, lemme get this straight... the guy runs a home building business and has no credit card or cheques??? Anyway, it's been an interesting social experiment if anything, simply observing people's reaction to being told that their ATM cards are useless... if anything, I'm all for it... imagine, my wife has no use of the ATM card for the day... woohooo!
