Ping.fm not compatible with netvibes?

Only my wife… the one that broke her leg tripping off a handicapped ramp… only my wife can send the corner of a file folder THROUGH her thumb

so Ping.fm can send it out, but can it retrieve - centralizing all remarks to my pings?

Looking into Ping.fm a little more. Got it set up to update all of my social networks but there is a lot more to it.

aw fawk!

Bailout of “The Big 3”

Here is my opinion on the bailout of “The Big 3”…

F*ck “The big 3” - it’s what they get for continuing to make big gas-guzzling land monsters during a time when consumers want more from their vehicles. Clearly they learned nothing from the late ’70s and ’80s. Toyota, Honda and their associated brands seem to be fairing pretty well in the current economy.

“The Big 3s” own corporate arrogance is what is killing them.  They assumed that with a more competitive global market offered through  NAFTA and other  “free trade” policies, that someone else would become victim to the “survival of the fittest”. They assumed that they would rake in the millions buying up cheaper steel, buying out smaller competitors and paying less for labor overseas. In their arrogance, they failed to adapt their products to the ever-changing consumer market and continued on with the “we tell the consumer what they want” attitude and marketing model. These companies became so huge, they detached from reality, and are suffering the consequences of not being the “fittest” auto makers in the industry.

Now they want my money to help them out!? Tough sh*t! You offered an inferior product causing dropping sales and that is what happens. Happens to thousands of small business owners year after year. LET THE BIG 3 FAIL! Death by process of the “Great American Way”!

IN THE NEWS….

U.S. forces have arrested a deputy of Ahmad Chalabi, who was once the Bush administration’s favorite Iraqi politician, “and implicated him in bombings that killed Americans and Iraqis.” The U.S. military says the deputy, Ali al-Lami, “was working with the ‘highest echelons’ of the Iranian ‘special groups’ criminals.

MEET OUR NEW NEIGHBORS: We started leaving the outside lights on when we noticed that one frog would use the light to attract its dinner each night. That was a few weeks ago and apparently word has gotten out.
