Desktop Calendar

I just read an article on Lifehacker that is friggin' awesome. I love having a desktop calendar... I haven't had one since I switched to Google Calendar. As it turns out, I can sync my Google Calendar with Rainlendar which is a nice little desktop calendar.

Free Speech

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death
your right to say it." -Voltaire

What the hell happened to that attitude? Take my previous post about the Dixie Chicks for example - they said something negative about the president and ended up having cd's burned and received death threats. Now, most people agree with them.

Don Imus just got fired after he called some female basketball players "nappy headed hoes". That to me translates to "ugly bitches" - how is that racial? And his title, "shock jock" - doesn't that mean he can pretty much say what he wants? How can someone be a shock jock and not be able to speak freely?

ha! what a geek

This was super easy. I learned how to create my own gadget for my Google start page. I used it to put my Meez on my page. It can be used for anything... feel the power :-). LOL! Feelin' geeky tonight.

(Idol) Another favorite gone

Jordin, Blake, Gina, Sundance

From People.com April 2- "Ryan Picks Jordin to Win Idol - Seacrest says Sparks could win because "she's a great singer and a pretty girl"".

Hope he's right.

From People.com April 5 - "The emotions spiked unexpectedly high because 24 hours earlier the
judges a) were clearly bored out of their gourds with Phil Stacey; b)
seemed more impressed by Haley's dress and legs than her actual
singing; c) were actually quite complimentary of Gina's subdued
performance. She really deserved to stay longer – and Phil should be
gone – but ultimately she never had a style that fit naturally on the
show: Did you ever buy her as an authentic rocker, even with the
pierced tongue? One sneer from Pat Benatar would have demolished her.
But singing those old standards took too much of a deliberate effort
from her. (That was Chris Daughtry's downfall last season.)
"

So sad that Phil, Haley, and Sanjaya are still there and Gina is gone. She should've stayed a few weeks longer.
