I love my country, yes I do.

A recent post in neom’s latest poll caused me to ponder on an issue that I’ve been tossing back and forth in my conscious mind for a while, until now. Here’s a transcribed version of my inner most thought on the issues of Americanism, Nationalism and Opinionism(sic). I like to tout myself as a fairly independant minded individual, but I think my thoughts on these issues are shared by many, correct me if I’m wrong:

Question: “With respect to standard of living, quality of life, beauty, and well run government.. what country do you consider to be best?”

IconX Released to ObjectDesktop Subscribers

Stardock, the software company that has brought us revolutionary desktop utilities such as WindowBlinds, ObjectDock and IconPackager has released an updated version of DesktopX and along with it, a really neat tool called IconX. If you’re like me, you don’t use DesktopX, which IconX was once bundled with – but with this new release of DesktopX 2.2, IconX has also been released, separately!

I Need a PDA

Well, as I posted in “My Current Events” journal entry on Jun. 28, I mentioned that I would be going on job interviews. Whelp, the first interview I went on, I got a call back. Now I have a new job which means I once again have a schedule to adhere to.

I’ve tried desk calendars, written journals and schedule notebooks, but I never keep them updated and most of the time, I end up tossing them. I bought a PDA (Agenda Computing VR3) a long time ago which was a very bad purhcase on my part, because it was like, the first Linux based PDA commercially manufactured.

Now, I am leaning more towards a PocketPC based system like the HP iPAQ 4355. I have a 802.11g wi-fi home network, so I’ll be able to utilize the device on my network.

I’m usually pretty sure about what I want when I shop, but at this juncture, I’m perplexed. There are so many PDA’s out there and the technology is always changing, I’m just not sure what I should get. So, I’m allowing you all to add your two cents about PDA technology, your favorite devices or anything you want to add about PDA’s in general. Help me get something nice.

Regarding Farenheit 9-11

Ok, listen, this is probably as close to ranting as I want to get in my journal. I don’t always do this, but I find it necessary because I can’t seem to get this off my chest any other way. It’s about the new “controversial” movie Farenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore. Keep in mind, I haven’t seen the film, but I’m not dumb, I know basically what it’s about. The question, does the majority of people in the world know what a documentary is?
