Attack in the United States
Like most if not all of us in the United States, I'm shocked
by the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. George Michael
news didn't seem important while I sat glued to the television, feeling
as if I were watching a movie with excellent special effects. But instead
of watching stunt professionals safely diving out of a burning building,
I watched in terror as everyday people -- people like you or me -- decided
they'd rather fall to their deaths than burn alive.
For those needing more information on how to help, Yahoo!
has an excellent
Emergency and Relief Information page. If you would like to make a
contribution to the American Red Cross
site but are having difficulties connecting to the site, you can also
contribute money via Yahoo!
and Amazon.
I will resume with George Michael news tomorrow -- but I'll
still be glued to the television trying to understand why anyone would
be willing to hurt so many people.

No More Banner Ads
To allow pages to load more quickly, I'm removing all banner

I'm going to occasionally feature a product, service, or special offer

revenue covers less than half of the webhosting fees.
Today, I'd like to tell you about the cool Internet Call
Waiting system called Pagoo.
I first found out about this service from a friend of mine.
Whenever he's online, I hear a recorded message from him and then I can
leave a message. While he's online, Pagoo notifies him that I've called
and lets him hear my message. If you're online a lot and your family and
friends are always complaining that they can't get in contact with you,
this is the service for you.
