Google Searches Patents

Google released a patent search engine today. This is something I’ve always wanted, because who wants to pay patent fees for a new application only to find out that someone already has it patented?

Christmas Shopping

I have to go Christmas shopping yet for this year. I hate this part of the season.

At least I don’t have to buy Tandra anything (significant) as we decided the HDTV was our present to each other…

NEW YORK (AP) — Peter Boyle, the sardonic father on TV’s “Everybody
Loves Raymond” and the monster in the film comedy “Young Frankenstein”
has died at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He had battled Multiple
Myeloma and Heart Disease.

DVR Rocks

Ha! You thought I forgot about you today!

Nah, just in training at work all day and had to take a college final tonight.

I must say though that our new DVR rocks! Pause and rewind live TV and schedule recordings of a series of shows based on if they are re-runs or not?

Awesome!

New DJ Equipment

On Friday afternoon I purchased a new Behringer amp and mixer to replace the ones I had been renting for about a year.

I also got to test them out Friday night when I provided the music for Tandra’s work’s Christmas party.

They sound great. I can’t wait for New Years down at Uncle Jesse’s

The Biggest Gamble of Your Life

In 2005, young people (ages 18-25) in the US gambled $67 billion. Not in Vegas or online poker rooms, but on a betterment program called college. Their hope is that the monies they are spending will allow them to earn more money over their lifetime. Many are paying for this wager by amassing a mountain of debt that will take years to pay off. Is it a good wager? Conventional wisdom says so, but with $67 billion on the line (and that’s debt accumulated in just one year by college attendees) we should have more than conventional wisdom or parental pressures to guide the way to smart economic decisions. REEF’s economic analysis shows that college is a financial mistake for more than half of the American young people today. Shielded from scrutiny in this transaction by an assumption of ‘public good’ are universities and college lenders who many expect to provide guidance to these young people. While the data hints at ways for some individuals to improve the odds of a positive financial outcome, half the people attending college should hear the frank counter-intuitive advice, “Don’t go to college.”
