I've noticed a strange thing with Yahoo's spam filters. They seem to have a high rate of false positives (emails being sent to the Bulk folder that are actually legitimate emails) and a lot of obvious spam slipping through. I mean, how hard is it to figure out that "You're won the Microsoft email l...

A former Hip Hop singer has been singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for a while now. I thought that this was interesting. It's good that he chose to give up the groupies for the Choir. I remember that when I lived in Utah for a year as a youth some former rock star spoke to our Sunday School class about...

I was talking to someone at work today, and he said that he used to have a job taking a sledgehammer to outdated (but still new) electronics that the company that made them wanted to get rid of. They didn't want the old products competing with the new products, so instead of selling them cheaply or giving...

Anyone seen trailers for this movie yet? It's coming out June 13th (Friday the 13th) this summer. It's the newest by M. Night Shyamalan. It looks like something Coco would TOTALLY want to see. Unfortunately, this looks like it's going to be Shyamalan's first rated R movie. He also did the Sixth S...

This article talks about how the world's tallest man has trouble finding clothes, fitting in cars, finding work, etc. At 8 foot 5 and still growing, I can understand how he'd have problems.

I definitely want to keep activities to a minimum, and family time to a maximum. But we're also tossing around the idea of indulging our oldest, very extroverted daughter's desire for outside activity besides school. Swimming lessons we'll do, but that's short-term. Dancing and gymnastics are to...
