Today is my dog’s first birthday. He doesn’t really know that today is any different than any other day, except for the cupcake I made for him.
I don’t really like baking and I’m guessing that if he were to have a real cupcake there would be severe consequences to clean up later.
A recent viral video depicted a young girl affirming herself that life is wonderful while wearing her pajamas in front of a bathroom mirror. Even I, with a heart of stone, can attest to the overall cuteness of this video.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meanÂing of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,’†said Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his speech that immorÂtalÂized the ralÂlyÂing cry of the civil rights moveÂment and furÂther powÂered the wheels of progress.

We have a developed into a society in a hurry. We’ve created ways to connect and share in nearly live and seamless fashion. We demand high transfer rates both from technology and from human beings.
But, there is a gaping hole where transfer speed and the description of that speed in a timely manner has been ignored or neglected.
Either that, or I’m so fast I’m actually seeing into the future. (more…)
As often happens, children grow to a certain age and are hesitant to believe that a man comes down their chimney and rewards them for their behavior. For me, believing was never a problem. (more…)
