Pavarotti’s will is released

Pavarotti’s will has been released and he has left half of his estate to his second wife and the other half to his three daughters to be shared evenly. There was some speculation that he revised his will in July but that was just to clarify some issues with the previous version.

White Stripes cancel tour

The White Stripes have announced that they are cancelling the remainder of their tour dates. Meg White is dealing with acute anxiety. Let’s all wish Meg a speedy recovery.

Armless man kills neighbor?

I was not sure you could kill someone if you didn’t have arms but I guess anything is possible. An armless man is under suspicion for killing his neighbor by head butting him.

Crocs and Escalators

Be sure the read this articale on crocs and escalators especially if you have children. They are getting their toes caught in the teeth of the escalators because of the flexability and grip of the crocs.

What to be for Halloween?

Have you thought about what you are going to be for Halloween yet?  You better start thinking, it takes a while to figure out the perfect costume.  Those party invites are going to be pouring into your inbox soon, well hopefully.

 I will keep you posted on my search for the perfect costume.

The $100 laptop no wait the $188 laptop

The goal for making a $100 laptop is fading fast. The cost now is $188 and may be going up. The goal to give international children a laptop to tinker with maybe a goal that is fading fast also. Hopefully they will get this worked out soon.

Quote of the Day

I think this just says it all:

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’

Ronald Reagan (1911 – 2004)

New iPod and price cut for the iPhone

Oh I think I will have to go get me one. They also cut the price of the iPhone by $200 and discontinued one of the models they were selling. Soon you will be able to get a tune with your tall Chai latte. They annouced a venture that would allow you to download any song playing in starbucks or the last 10 songs played. Now that is what I call multi-tasking. The iPod Touch looks really cool, looks like I might need to make an upgrade.

Luciano Pavarotti dies

He was considered the greatest tenor of his time. He preformed with such artist as U2’s Bono and Liza Minnelli. If you have not heard him sing I suggest you do so, he has a wonderful voice that just amazes the senses.

Halloween the Movie

I went to see Halloween on Friday. It is pretty good. It gives a lot of background as to why Michael became the killer we all know. You kind of start to feel bad for Michael but that is one messed up kid. There is a lot of boobs and blood. At one point I felt like I was watching another teen movie because they showed alot with the sister and her friends just talking about nothing. Just hold steady and it will pick up.

Spoiler alert: My favorite part was when he snatched the Dad it just happens out of nowhere, you totally do not expect it.
