The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.Theodore Roosevelt Got that from my dad via email today, and I’d say it’s pretty spot on. Unfortunately, it also seems to describe our current culture in America. I copied that quote…

ParentalRights.org – Time To Stand Up
I’m really not much of an activist. I’m really not an activist at all. I love the freedom that we have in the United States (or, at least, should have) to be diverse. To be different. I don’t need to convince you to see and do it “my way” in any area of life. We…
GregsHead.net Readers Are Smart!
I was working with Google Analytics today for a couple of my web clients and I remembered that I had my own account with Google, so I logged in to check that out. (It’s been a good long while!) Now, I think traffic overall is down to GregsHead.net since I don’t post nearly as much…
GregsApples.com … is back? (Sort of.)
Hey folks! Just wanted to give you a quick heads up. I was reminded today that I used to be an Authorized Apple Business Agent, for which Apple paid me a commission on any sales I generated for them. That was neat. Then I was an Apple Business Store Affiliate, similar deal, just not working…
CraigsList or ebay? Pros and Cons
Jen & I both recently had a bit of success listing and selling stuff on CraigsList, and following that, a friend asked how I chose CraigsList over ebay. “Well,” began my reply, “I suppose there are a number of reasons to use either,” I explained. And so there are. I figured it might even be…
Good News?
Came across this site today while browsing the web… perhaps you’ve already heard of it. Didn’t get to explore it much, but appears to be a news site devoted entirely to good news stories. Interesting idea…
$100,000,000.00
$100M sure sounds like a lot of money. And as you can see in the title, it sure is a lot of zeros. However, this blog post by radio talkshow guy Glenn Beck, points out how ridiculously small it is both in comparison to the already large budget as well as the outlandish amount of…
Twitter Craze
I mentioned Twitter here a few posts ago. I think I also mentioned that it’s not a technology I’ve found much of a use for. There is definitely a place for it. It’s a pretty good way for a business to handle things like press releases. By creating a Twitter account, and then advertising that…
What Does a Trillion Dollars Look Like?
Got an e-mail from my Dad today, one of them there e-mail forwards. (He enjoys those…) I try to read most of them (sorry, Dad, can’t read them all…) and several I comment back to him on, but only a very few do I share. (Almost none do I forward. If I share, I share…
Newsvine Column Resuscitated
I mentioned in a previous post today that I have not been using my Newsvine column (blog) much, and indeed that has been true, but I think I am going to start using that for posting links to interesting articles I come across in a day. They might be about anything from Apple and technology,…
