YouTube now offering full widescreen format videos.Pretty exciting stuff when you consider what the goal of YouTube and ultimately its parent company Google Inc. is for this type of formatting. There is a move amongst technology based companies to make interent based television a reality and perhaps a lot sooner than most of us think. Not long from now a consumer will be able to watch real time tv on their cell-phone via next generation ...

The above photo was taken as workers were changing the signage over to the new Delta logo. With a new renovation budget and the adjoining Lake City Casion addition should draw more tourism dollars back to the downtown core!

Obama's Harmony of Intellect and Intuition by U2 frontman BonoWithout getting too political here is a heartfelt and well written blog-post by U2's Bono. There is so much anticipation of what President Elect Obama will do during his first four years of office and the administration he will ultimately bring to the table. I have always been a big fan of U2 and I feel Bono captured in words beautifully what so many are thinking, feeling and ...

WD40 useages! Many surprised me and made me think of how much work I have to do around the house now!Interesting Tidbits about WD-40 a guy bought a new pickup, and got up very early one morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of his beige truck. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do, probably nothing until Monday morning since nothing was open. A neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully ...

Mill worker Paul Navone donates millions to local schools on $11/hr. pay!!!This CNN.com story is a fascinating one! Here is a guy who claims to have never denied himself anything that he wanted but was able to donate millions of dollars to the education system in his home state. I certainly appreciated his candid response to how he did it by stating "investing his money wisely". I would say that he epitomizes what the old adage says "A ...

Monte Carlo Hotel and Casino fireWell, when I first read the news I have to admit I was quite upset. The thought of people being trapped in a burning building just was too horrific of a thought. Considering the 87 people that lost their lives in the 1980 MGM Grand fire, it was all too much to relive! Once I realized that it was mostly contained to the roof area I felt a whole lot better and then found myself ...
