Ahhh… the NFL draft and all the hoopla about a 2-day cattle call. The Houston Texans made the biggest splash of the weekend for not selecting Reggie Bush with the #1 pick.

The Patriots went with a lot of offensive players, which is the total opposite of last year.
Oil companies suck
They're making record profits and we're paying $3 a gallon or more. Shame on them but shame on us as well.

Google dives into another channel
I'm just checking it out myself, but take a lookie at the new Google 3D drawing program (online) which is, of course, free. I use their search, maps, news, and a lot of other resources under the Google umbrella. Good for them, I guess. Sort of the online Microsoft I guess.

Birdie heaven, we are….
