m sorry, Coolerites. I’ve been distracted and not blogging like I usually do (at least once a week, if not more).
I can claim busy at work (I have been). The Girl Scout Troop (we’re selling nuts, getting ready for a camping trip this weekend, planning our holiday service project and more). The sports
Steve Jobs died yesterday. I never met the man, but his impact on my life, and yours, has been monumental. Steve Jobs changed the world, like Thomas Edison. While Edison illuminated the world with electricity invented by someone else, Jobs connected it with the Internet created by someone else. The iPhone is one
Well, today’s the big day. Facebook is rolling out Timeline and I’m still waiting for mine to kick in. Apparently, Mark Zuckerberg’s is already active:
