Classmates Free

If you want to keep (or get) in touch with your old (or current) classmates without having to pay a fee like at the "Other" classmates site, give ClassmatesFree.com a try. I like free.

UPDATE:
This site has been taken down, evidently for legal reasons, although I don't know the details.

Anonymous vs Scientology

This video warning to the Church of Scientology from a group calling themselves "Anonymous" is kinda cool, but at the same time a little creepy, in a 1984-ish sort of way. In fact, maybe the creepiness is what makes it so cool.

Anyway: Mother Teresa

I read that this quote attributed to Mother Teresa is engraved in the wall at her home for children in Calcutta. You may have seen it before, but wow. What a "Kingdom of Heaven" way to live!

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people will cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you've got, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway."

Mill-yuns And Mill-yuns

Astronomer Carl Sagan used to talk about the stars that way, astounded by their numbers. Well, he might just as well have been talking about football "stars". The Vikings agreed to pay Bernard Berrian $42,000,000.00 over six years. That's over 41 million dollars more than I'll make over the next six years! And Randy Moss gets $27 million to stay with the Patriots another 3 years. Ben Roethlisberger will only be paid 102 million bucks for playing quarterback at Pittsburgh for 8 more years. It's a dangerous job, but it pays the bills, huh?
