Some hi-tech company just came out with an eco-friendly PC, partly made out of Bamboo...

Wii-hab
From commercial to real life, it seems people are using the Wii for physical therapy.
I can hear it now... "will you START playing that video game!"

Dexter or Serial Killer by Proxy?
Ok... I know I'm behind the curve on some things... the rise and fall of boy bands, SPAM, and now Dexter.
For the last few people who didn't know, it's a series about a serial killer who hunts people who escape the the law (like serial killers or serial drunk drivers).
It's a dark show. You see in detail as the lead character captures and tortures his victims, but since we already know the victims are, themselves, horrible killers, we can take a perverse pleasure in watching these monsters meet their vicious ends at the hand of another monster.
But the most interesting question... since we continue to watch the show, and viewers are what guarantee new episodes, aren't we just as responsible for the crimes Dexter gets to commit?

... A Little Scarier
This just in from the "World Just Got a Little Scarier" file:
all about a new strain of Ebola
http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSL2990582220071129?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0&sp=true
No offense, but I think the four strains we have are more than enough...
<old guy voice> I remember when there were only three strains of Ebola </old guy voice>
This is starting to feel like an iPod, with a new version coming out every year!

Thanksgiving
Just got done the T'day meal and I'm taking a moment to reflect on what the day means to me...
A couple of years ago, Thanksgiving was a very different day for me. I've always had plenty to be thankful for and have always been aware of the blessings in my life, but for a couple years, Thanksgiving was always a personal day... I didn't go have a big meal with a bunch of friends or family, instead, I'd have a turkey hoagie by myself and just enjoy the day that way.
Now I don't want the image of me eating a sandwich alone to seem like a sad thing. It was the opposite, it was enjoyable not having to rush around here or there. It was my day, and spent in a very personal, reflective way...
Now adays things are different. I'm engaged and most years T'day is about rushing here and there, and all the other hectic commitments that I guess make up a life. This year Patty and I didn't go home for the holiday, we stayed local, and did Thanksgiving just by ourselves... and it was wonderful.
