For my one or two readers that are expecting more from me, 5 weeks ago I started my latest semester at RSU Online University. Being online it takes more time and being full time (4 classes) takes even more. So little time to blog at all. I will try to post when I have a moment or two, but things can not improve much I am sure. See you on line soon.

Wired News: Cranky Callers to Target Disney:

"Angry at Disney's plans to sell disposable DVD movies, environmentalists plan to dump their grievances on CEO Michael Eisner in a massive phone protest Wednesday. "
