R. Todd is...

This whole Web 2.0 is a gigantic flash in the pan, overrated, or right on target. You can pick any one of the three and you are probably correct, because it depends on your perspective.

For the most part, I have taken the summer off when it comes to keeping up with the blog. Far more pressing items have taken my time. I did find some time to fool around with Facebook and MySpace. My two sons were pushing to have pages, and in an effort to be a responsible parent - I jumped right in.

I stand in amazement. Facebook and Myspace keeps you so very connected - while having to put forth minimal effort.

In an article by Lev Grossman in TIME (pg. 54 - September 3, 2007), Grossman states that Facebook's largest demographic is people 35 and older - "they're refugees from the uncouth wider Web...Facebook constitutes a critical rebalance of the Internet's founding vision of unfettered electronic liberty."

I don't know about that, but I do know this...R. Todd is jealous that he did not have this type of technology when he was 16. **Poke**

It's so hot...

trees are sneaking around looking for shade.
This is the South, and with it comes the great and the hot. Well, it's hot. Seems like forever since my post on the impending ice storm: go here.
A few days ago the Spartanburg Herald-Journal mentioned that the Library was the "coolest" place in town. The article gives the Library major props for being a cool place to hangout. Go here for the article.
Our forecast for the week? Well...
Monday: Haze 99°F
Tuesday: Hot 100°F
Wednesday: Hot 101°F
Thursday: Hot 100°F
Don't believe me? Go here: NOAA
So, come on in - it's cool.
