About time.  Congress Mulls Doomsday Plan. WBZ May 30 2002 5:14PM ET [Moreover – moreover…]

Music..  I have completed a project of encoding all of my CDs into MP3s on my Linux Workstation.  Eventually, I want to use some web based software to broadcast them in the house, but haven’t figured that out quite yet.

What a difference a day makes.  Just closed a major co-registration deal, a new co-registration provider outsourcing system is working well, and suddenly things look much better!

Here’s opening the online ad industry continues to improve!

Hey, writing this from the toilet.
