Last week we went up to our local Apple Retail Store and got to actually touch the new iPad! And, yes… it was fantastic, as advertised. I thought it might be fun to highlight a couple of things that I noticed and would say make the iPad worth the purchase. Certainly you may have a…
Current (Ever-Growing) Reading Pile
My pile of books continues to grow. I truly am reading each one of the books I have grabbed from the library, or purchased from Amazon, or had loaned to me by a friend, but… For some reason, the phrase “your eyes are much larger than your stomach” comes to mind… In this case, my…
There Are More Important Things…
I had to double and triple check to make sure this video was real… it is. How can we really think this way? The language this woman uses to describe her “problem” (which was … until two months prior to the speech you see in this video—from the “Digital Inclusion Summit” on March 9, 2010—her…
Buffalo Sabres: 2010 Northeast Division Champs
I would like to acknowledge the recent accomplishment of my favorite hockey team, the Buffalo Sabres: winning the Northeast division of the Eastern Conference! Nice job, guys! For the past two years the Sabres have been just outside the top eight teams that make the playoffs (only missing by a few points!) and so this…
Why Does Everyone Hate Glenn Beck?
I am a Glenn Beck fan. If you weren’t immediately turned off by the title, I’d imagine that at least a handful of readers are now completely done with this post, and—quite likely—done with GregsHead.net entirely. That seems to be the current climate in our country, especially in the political world, and especially surrounding the…
StumbleUpon: Discover Great Stuff
I have a recommendation for you today. A long while ago, I was introduced to a website/technology called StumbleUpon. You may have noticed the little icon down in the “Share this post” bar below… . Well, that’s for StumbleUpon. How it works is, you set up your free account with them, and then bring up…
Mastering Money or Money Is Master?
A couple conversations of late have reminded me of a book I read a while back (at the recommendation of a friend who had really loved it) regarding the management of money. It was (and is) particularly relevant as we are facing mountainous debt (accumulated over many years, and some the result of “questionable” business…
The Unexpected
Sometimes in life we go along thinking that we really know what’s going to happen. We know how the day is going to go, how the week is going to go. We have it mapped out, and it works quite nicely, thank you very much. At times, life plays along, and for the most part,…
Basketball Solitaire?
Everyone is talking basketball these days. It’s March Madness time. Most brackets have been thrown in the trash. Four teams fans are still happy for now. (Including me! Go State!) Well, I guess I’m getting in on the action. After a couple years “off”, I found another friend (with at least a slightly flexible schedule)…
Trololo?
Thanks to a friend of ours, we have now been exposed to an apparent internet phenomenon, a video of a lip-syncing Russian from 1978, singing a song without any words. Yes. You read that right. The reason we know it’s a phenomenon is the incredible number of alternate versions available on YouTube, including this very…
