New Cool Google Feature


I like what I have seen and believe it will be useful once it's operative. Users of GOOGLE VOICE are able to select a single U.S. phone number, from various area codes. When a Google Number is called, any or all of the user's phones may be set to ring. Which phone(s) ring can be set based on the calling number, based on contact group (e.g. Family, Friends, Work, etc), and/or based on time of day (e.g. disabling a home phone during business hours and routing calls to mobile or business number). The service also features centralized voicemail and indexable, automated voicemail transcription, accessible by PC or phone. Google Voice incorporates long-desired abilities, such as automatic blocking of known telemarketer numbers, the ability to switch lines in mid-call, different voice mail greetings based on the caller, SMS forwarding, and even call recording.

Twitter Loses Money

In the last week, I have tuned in to Fox News and CNN Headline a few times and the amount of air time they are giving to Twitter is unreal. By doing this, they're basically admitting they can't cover the story in Iran but that's another story for another day. Iran is the best thing that could happen for Twitter. If ever there was a time to buy some stock, it's now. Unfortunately, Twitter is a privately owned company. The owner - JACK DORSEY (30 years old) has turned down a $500 million offer from Facebook. Why make an offer for a company losing money? Kind of twists the brain doesn't it? I guess ole Jack is just waiting for the "big" offer.

The Drive-Away...

It was great having Justin & Kacey here for 3 days! Mary and I LOVE spending time with our kids and their spouses! I can remember when I would go home to Paducah to visit Mom & Dad. With every trip there always came the time of departure. The time when I would throw the last piece of luggage into the car while Mom & Dad were standing in the driveway fighting back tears. We would exchange hugs, climb into the car and begin the "drive-away." A quick look back to see Mom & Dad waving goodbye and turning to walk back into the house as we did a quick toot of the car horn. Now, it's Mary and I standing in the driveway. We've been the ones standing in the driveway fighting back the tears as the kids drive away or get out at the airport. And, it doesn't get any easier. We are sooooo proud of our kids! We are blessed. They have grown into wonderful "adult" people. And I think that's what makes it so hard. The realization that they are no longer "kids." But now, because of our upcoming move to Florida, we are eliminating one of the drive-aways. It will be great living near Lyndsey, Andrew and the grandkids when that time comes. But we'll still have to do the "drive-away" whenever Justin & Kacey visit. The visit is always worth it though! Thanks for taking the time and effort to visit on your way to OK. We love you! Drive safely....

Meeks Goes Pro...

Bummer....but it was probably a smart move considering the weak draft this year and the kind of year Jodie had. He'll be missed but I am predicting KY will still make the Final Four without him. Meeks is a class act.

Why Is Gas Going Up? I Thought It Was Bush And His Oil Buddies' Fault

NEW YORK, June 6 (UPI) -- U.S. gasoline prices have increased more than 27 percent in the past seven and a half weeks, a study shows. The motorist group AAA said the average cost of a gallon of regular gasoline rose 1.4 cents Saturday to $2.606, CNN reported. AAA said the climb marks the thirty-ninth consecutive daily increase in the price of gas.

Send Him - Please!


I think he may be our best hope to get the two reporters freed from Kim Jung-il in North Korea. Who better to negotiate with a crazy man than another crazy man? Worst case scenario - Gore is held captive too. What a minute - that would be the best case scenario.
