You may think that upgrading your 25mpg sedan to a 50mpg hybrid will save the world, but it is far better to get those 10mpg trucks into 20mpg trucks. How is that so? I'm getting 25mpg more with the hybrid, vs only 10mpg more. Do the real math...watch below:

So this evening I go to start my computer, it starts to run, gets halfway through loading windows, then it loses the display to the screen (computer stops delivering data to monitor - "No input detected" displayed on monitor. 

Now, last night, I installed the latest Adobe Flashplayer 10 update.  This was the first start up since that install.  

Any thoughts on what I should do?  Any help appreciated.  

Yesterday, Google announced that their long-beta application Google Voice was now available for everybody (in the US) to use. So now most of you will ignore me because it's just Marc talking about another Google or Apple technology you really won't use. Hold back that urge.

So what are some cool things you can do with Voice? Here's a few:

• Have one phone number (picked by you) for any area code in the United States. You don't have to even live there.
• Any time someone calls this number, you have lots of options. Forward the call to one of your other phones, OR forward it to a bunch of phones and first one to pick up, wins.
• Call screening. Want to know who's calling? Google Voice will take their name like a good secretary and let you know via your phone. Then you have the option to send them to voicemail or pick it up.
• Did you miss the call? Dang. Well how about a transcribed e-mail of the voicemail they leave sent directly to your e-mail inbox. Would you prefer a text message instead? Your choice.
• Want one phone number for your whole family, but want certain numbers forwarded to certain phones, or certain numbers just blocked out right? Voice can do that too.

This is really cool technology. For me, I've just setup a phone number in my area code, which now I can stop all the people complaining that they need to make long distance calls to reach my cell phone. But some of these other features look pretty cool too! It works with any phone too, but mobile phones have a couple more options than regular land lines.

Oh yea. It's free too. 

Yup, it's OKgo again.

I caught an interesting article that I thought was worth sharing in relation to the oil crisis going on. It's bashes Obama a bit, but what is more interesting is the attack on EPA regulations and the stifling of genetic research that could have been used to assist in the clean up of the spill. Of course it would be better that the spill never happen, but stuff happens. Read the Article.

...rolls Magic-8 ball...

...because they'd bring porn to school!  So goes the theory proposed by one Michael Pakaluk, a supposed scholar who wrote an interesting column in the Boston Archdiosese's newspaper recently.

Looking back, I had no idea how many of my Catholic schoolmates came from gay households!  Practically the whole football and hockey teams, for starters.  And the Cub Scouts, too!

Wow.  The stupid, it hurts.
