I think that 2 lists is the best way to forecast the economic situation. In these lists I will try to give you an idea of who are now, and will be the top money makers in the present and near future.

The 1st list consist of what industries will be making the most money; and the second list would contain the industries that people would most likely be able to gain employment.

At this time I will only make the first list.

List number 1: Industries I propose will generate the most revenue now and in the near future.

Don't get in a wrestling match
on the kitchen floor
with your seven-yr-old
after your friends
and the white dog visited
wearing black plastic fleece

Or, actually you should
and have fun tickling
those memories
last longer than
the time to pick lint
or learn to like dog-hair

Now that Barack Obama has been elected to the White House, I can breathe a giant sigh of relief. I feel true optimism and hope for this country, and our children.

So, Gabe's Halloween costume this year is a skeleton, drawn in white dimensional fabric paint [1] on black clothing. It's coming out great. Wikipedia supplies the artistic inspiration for the authentic skeletal design.

When you're going to make a full day out of going to a Patriots Football game, you might want to let someone else do the cooking instead of trying to play with fire in the parking lot.

I was surprised that Google's map didn't show much information when searching for places to eat in the vicinity, so I created a map of places to eat around Gillette Stadium.

Linux is taking the ultra-portable market by storm with releases like the Everex Eee PC or Cloudbook, in part because they run free operating systems and cost $400 instead of $1800 for the Macbook Air. Still, for my money, I'd buy an older IBM Thinkpad X31 which I just saw on Ebay for $280 and get a full-size keyboard. But regardless of what form-factor and notebooks are the best buy, the real story in portable computing is the story of Portable Apps.

A simple way to spread peace. Carve a peace pumpkin and display it proudly for all your neighborhood trick-or-treaters. I did last year, and will do the same this year. Share this page with your friends.

I also found a nice "Peace Pumpkin video" on YouTube with the same idea.

I got a Flip Video camera, and now I have to figure out what it can do on Linux. According to my early research, playback of the 3ivx "Thriv-ex" format shouldn't be a problem. However, the included software which runs only on Windows or Mac is obviously not going to work. More info on the 3ivx MPEG-4 format used is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_2

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

- Albert Einstein
