Tax season is here.   Oh pooo!

Paperwork…more paperwork.   I am a good boy when it comes to taxes, but wow!  There is a lot of things that must be done.   Wowzers.

My friend Joe is working on putting together a sushi “Meet & Tweet”.    He is working with Meetup groups in different cities for over a month to setup a great event for everyone.

“We’re having simultaneous events at SUSHISAMBA locations in Chicago, New York, Miami and Las Vegas!” – Quote from Joe.

I think this is a pretty cool idea.   I cannot have sushi…but still cool.

Multi-City Meet & Tweet at SUSHISAMBA on Jan 20. Great sushi and roll specials! http://bit.ly/sstwtup #sstwtup #lv

I have been exploring Windows 7 recently.

I have to say YEAH!   It has a lot of improvements that I really like.

The one thing that was hard to find at first is the show desktop function.

Instead of being an icon on the taskbar, it is a vertical bar to the far right of the task bar.   It is actually better once you get used to it.

There will be critics as usual.  But I notice most complaints were “change” related.    Most people do not like change.

Boot up is much faster!

I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful New Year.    2009 was horrible for many.     2010….here we come.  Let’s make it a good year.

As Christmas has come and gone, that OMG feeling of the new year is starting to set in.

2009 will be remembered.  It was a very bad year for many.  It was an odd year for me personally.  However I know that I am blessed.

I hope that 2010 is better than 2009 for all!

Merry Christmas everyone!   Happy Holidays for those who may not celebrate Christmas.

I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday week!

It is interesting to me how many people rely on the opinions of those in the media who have an agenda.

I will not post my full feelings and beliefs on the health care problems in the USA right now.   Once I start…I probably cannot stop.

I will say that those who think that the health care system does not need to be addressed at all are ignorant to the real world.   People that I have known has died because of the problems.   There are a lot of people that have to choose whether to pay bills, eat, or purchase their prescriptions.  Pre-existing conditions (even little ones) cause insurance companies to refuse to insure some that have just minor issues.

The health care system needs to improve.

Lady Gaga has sure gotten the attention of many people around the world.   As a marketing person, I am impressed of the branding that she has created for herself.   I am sure others are also responsible, but like her or not…she is everywhere.  And she makes you scratch your head.

Kudos to her and her peeps.
