From Memphis

Good Morning from Memphis

I drove thru rain all day yesterday but when I got here I found warm weather so I was elated.

The packing team of 3 ladies worked all day yesterday and got TONS done. Things are a lot more organized here than I expected.

I do think that perhaps Momma is expecting more to fit into the new space than will realistically fit, so some additional sorting will prob have to take place once the boxes get over there...but that is OK.

I brought Jerry Nasello's video camera so I hope to make a little video for YouTube. I need practice as a movie maker anyway.

The evening before I left for Memphis, advertizing/writer and all 'round creative (& cute) guy Dave Perry came for dinner and we talked a bit about putting together a promotional packet to give to manufacturers who express an interest in getting a listing on my websites.
We will let them know that we can work that out in exchange for components for the Phase II construction. I am excited about putting this together when I get back to LA. That would be Lower Alabama.

OK, the packer ladies are now in my space, so I need to finish getting dressed and get with the program.

I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past.

What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
