Bill Gates started twittering last week.
I find that kind of weird.
Not that he's twittering, but that he just started, and that it's news.

'LOCAL BANKERS SEE LITTLE BENEFIT TO STRICTER RULES." Bulletin, 10/26/10.
Some headlines just don't require comment.
But....I can't help it.
Wait! Really!! Are you sure!!!

Went looking at Notebooks last night, and my eyes settled on the MacBook.
It just looks and feels right to me. Never mind the innards. It just has good feng shui.
Which is not like me.
Same with the big screen T.V.'s. For all intents and purposes, I can get everything I need from a 65" DLP, and it would cost less than half a 65" LED. But both Linda and I like the look and feel of the LED.
Am I at a point in my life where I'm willing to pay extra for style?
I already feel guilty spending money; spending extra for a little zing seems even more sinful.

"JOBLESS RATES DIP SLIGHTLY" Bulletin, 10/26/10.
Um....if you say so. I think if you really, really squint at the charts you can see an itsy bitsy drop. Heh.
14.2 to 14.0 in Deschutes.
16.7 to 16.8 in Crook.
14.4 to 14.1 in Jefferson.
Those kinds of differences in my business stats are pretty much ignored. Or, if I was blogging it, I'd say -- "pretty much unchanged."

Speaking of Notebooks. Should I be waiting to see what the new Apple Tablet will do? Will it have Notebook features? (My computer at home is ancient, folks....)

"BORDERS GROUP ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE OF CEO." Yahoo Finance.
Think:

GAHAN WILSON: FIFTY YEARS OF PLAYBOY CARTOONS.
How good is Gahan Wilson? I knew his name when I was probably 14 years old, when I didn't know another cartoonist. I remember the one with a giant python with a huge bulge and the caption, "Happiness is a Warm Puppy." I thought this hilarious, since I was a big Snoopy fan.
I would look for his art style eagerly. I also remember the one with a big monster crawling over a hill and below a brightly lit diner with a sign on top, "EAT".
Customer to cook: "You don't suppose he can read, do you?"
Also, ahem, means I was raiding my Dad's Playboys, which were buried under a pile of other magazines....

I've been doing a lot of these Smelly Clumps of Mashed Flowers and Dried Fruit blogs, lately. (Popourri...get it?)
I've got some heavy duty essay types in my editing stage, but somehow I feel like lightening up, you know?

Dunc,
Just get a macbook, from Amazon.com, will set you back about $1,000 can't beat the price. The only essential is to get at least 2GB of memory, which probably means 1gb macbook ( best price ), and then getting the 2gb upgrade from Crucial Memory online ( $40 ).
It will be years before apples new tablet is solid, it took years to get the iPhone right, it took years to get the Lisa right and the Mac, ... and Job's really fucked up on the NexT. Job's is saying this is his "best second trick pony yet", ... watch out when Job's is talking that shit, ... it means total fucking failure.
Never buy NEW shit from Jobs.
Yes, the macbook is great. You'll never use windows again for anything.
Tablet might be great for doctors and such, but it will take years to shake the bug's.
Bilbo,

Ditch that Puritanical baggage, Dunc. If you can afford it, it isn't "sinful."
BTW, what is a "clumb"?
'Clumb' is the word for a secret society in Bend, Oregon, their website be reached at

aka Bend Christian Zionism, aka CACB, aka Sisters, Bend, ... 1031
I think originally it meant ..

Magical
Bend
But that was before t christian-zionism took over Bend, I have no idea what it means today, amongst the flock, but it still be a secret word, not to be uttered amongst non-believers.
We have to kill you now.
Pedro: So it's like a coven, eh?
No, No, NO
Coven is ..

You don't want to even miss with those people and put them in the same pot as the 1031 cult.
