Ohio Weather

Winter has really arrived now. We woke up to a dusting of snow and stiff winds. The commute was nasty. Icy roads made it slow going. Its midday now and the snow is coming harder. We won't get that much but it is enough to get the real feel of winter. The temperature is supposed to drop throughout the day ending up in the teens by this evening. I hope the winter doesn't have bad surprises in store for us this year. Just a note, it is 79 in Key West today. I'm ready for spring.

Bad News About James Kim

The news about James Kim is bad. He was found dead approximately 10 miles from the stranded car that he left in an attempt to save his family. What a unbelievably hard decision it must have been for him to leave his family. I can only imagine the things going through his mind at the time. He is a hero in my mind and fortunately his family will be OK. My prayers go out to them in this time that must be unbearable for them.

It was strange for me to hear about this when it happened because I had recently started to listen to James on a podcast that he did for Cnet. I also watched some video reviews that he did on Cnet for MP3 players. It made this a little more shocking and personal.

The ear thingy

Is just me or have all of you noticed a lot of people talking to themselves. Well at first it appears that way. They may be moving there lips or you may notice someone waving there hands or arms when they are alone in there car or walking down the street. It's the ear thingy. That explains it. Bluetooth! The new status symbol is the ear thingy. A person that at first glance appears to be a little weird is actually sporting a new trendy ear thingy. They go from being strange to elite in an instant. You see them everywhere nowadays. I say now, that I will never wear one! Whatever, this will be another thing that at first seems ridiculous but after you realize the advantages and capabilities you gotta have one.
