Techno-Ten

1. “Rosa Parks” - Why is it that awareness about someone peeks right after they separate from the mortal coil. Last week, I'm guessing no one was giving Rosa Parks a second thought, and today, just a couple of days after she passed, she's the #1 search on Technorati. Heck, even Apple is using her picture in their "Think Different" campaign. Her contribution to the civil rights movement is appreciated, but I just wish that we didn't remember the people that did good only after they die.

2. “Prussian Blue” - Is this a new crayon color? I don't know what this pertains to, but if it's anything like "baby blue" or "sky blue", the my younger brother would love it. He's kinda gay like that, but don't tell him that. He's a trained Marine, and I'm sure he'd kick your ass.

3. “Web 2.0” - Is this that super-fast internet connection that the government and colleges use? I want in on that action. I hear it makes a cable connection feel like 14.4kb modem connectivity. Seriously fast. Just imagine all the porn I could download. But in retrospect, I would need to purchase a bigger hard drive to house the vast volumes of porno mpg's I would amass. Maybe I'm not ready for something like this just yet.

4. “Front Row” - The only time a front row is great is for a concert. But I don't generally like sitting in front rows. You just don't catch everything. Sure, the sweat of your favorite performer might drizzle on to you, but that's just "ew" to me. I'll take the 5th row in a concert . . . or the mid-section in the movie theaters.

5. 2000 - If it's not 1999, then this is irrelevant.

6. Fitzgerald - Ella? F. Scott? Which one are they looking for?

7. Ipod - I love iPods. Seriously do. I don't use mine as much as I should because it was hijacked by my wife. But if I had 300+ bucks just lying around, I would go to the Apple store (2 within 5 miles of my home) and get a new one. The prospect of having video and a color screen is just too cool to pass up. That is . . . if I had 300+ bucks. Hey, you know how I can make some quick cash . . start clicking on my ads.

8. “Living Hand To Mouth” - Apparently this pertains to a book about Chinese eating habits or economics. I don't care. But I do have a suggestion on changing the title to "Living Chopstick to Mouth". I think that makes more sense.

9. Gravatar - From the 2 seconds I dedicated to researching this specific term I was able to determine that it's some sort of plug-in. I've never heard about it, but you might need it. Sadly, you've come to wrong place if you're looking for this.

10. “Heart Of Darkness” - I never read the book, but I saw the movie. That's the one where they hunt a Lion right? Eh, who knows. By this time in the post, I'm cutting into my regular work schedule (as opposed to posting while doing Over-Time) and I need to end this quick. Just one piece of advice, if you're staring down the mouth of a man-eating lion . . . kiss your ass goodbye. I'm sure that by the time you're in it's stomach, your lips will be close to your glutes, so this will be a fairly easy post-mortem task.
