| I just needed a good picture. |
I've been fascinated by blacksmiths my
entire life. This guy has too.
I don't get a good feel
for the universe. It just seems too … big … for my brain. These guys think this
picture helps. I didn't think so, but you might.

There
are a lot of sources for the date of the next iPhone. I'm not sure I care anymore.
My date is sometime in October, when my plan is up.
Next
iPhone coming Sept. 10, sources say
I'm still looking for the next phone. This review helps, a little.
Motorola Moto X
I haven't yet found any
tech that helps me live healthier. Movement required, and push-backs from the
table. Those I have trouble with, and no amount of tech (besides a killer
robot) will help me with that one!

Oatmeal.
Check. Blueberries. Check. Coffee? No, not really. Red wine? Hey, wait a minute
here! What kind of list is this?

You don't have to read this one. The "crazy
way" is some kind of acupuncture with electricity. That seems like it
might deactivate a lot of things!
I agree with the author
on this one. It's good to play a game that lasts only a few hours and then ends. Not like that stupid Candy Crush
or Angry Birds or Skyrim. Wait. I really like Skyrim. Okay, so maybe some games
should last longer…
Forget ‘Addictive.’
Give Me a Game That Only Lasts Three Hours
I wasn't interested in this game at all. Then I read this review.
It's a great review. I'm still not interested in the game. If you want you can
read through to the last couple paragraphs and you'll see why. Idiots.

This is when we
should have started all that conservation stuff. I wonder what we'll be saying
in 150 years.

And these guys think they know. As a Futurist I can assure you that most of these are sheer speculation and extrapolation. They might be on target

Of
course it does! Mystery surrounds all those Egyptian things! I do love archaeology.

I even love archaeology when it is on another planet. That's essentially
what our rovers are doing. C'mon, think about it. A hundred years ago we never
would have thought we'd have robots on another planet! (Go back and look at
those predictions, though. I won't be able to say the same thing in 150 years
if we have habitations on other planetary bodies!)

normally like the articles that say they can make your computer faster. They
are usually - the word idiotic comes to mind. This one is pretty good advice,
though.

So this is why all my computer cables go bad after a while. Worth a watch and goes along with how to use that tape to make more accurate holes. Did you see that one?

That's
my list. I love the lists these guys put together, too.
wish I would have known about your interest in blacksmiths years ago, I would have taken you to my Grandma Hunt's place and showed you my grandfathers blacksmith shop, he had passed away many years before but the bellows still laid on the cold forge, hammers and tongs atop the well worn anvil and the horseshoes he fashioned were hanging on square headed nails along the beams. the shop has long since been torn down, but the tools of his trade are stored in my aunts shed..it was always a dream of mine to display them in a sort of mini museum to honor his memory....someday....wish you could have seen it
