Re: Thanks Steve!

Thanks Terry! There are some budding techno super geeks growing up here at the Probst house. What's telling is that all three of the kids have picked up the iPod and iPad and been able to use them without any help. That certainly says a great deal about Steve Jobs' vision of how technology should be instinctive for people.

A wonderful eulogy, thir. Seriously, Steve Jobs was the Edison / Ford of our time. He changed computers, music, and movies. And like Bill Maher said, he was one of us. He was a free spirited Liberal who used technology not only for profit, but to help people.
I know I have learned a lot about technology from you, my friend, and if your passion for technology came from Jobs, then I have to thank him for inspiring you. He'll be missed. But maybe, just maybe the next great American genius is almost 7 years old right now. Or 12. Or three!

Totally agree. I enjoy going back and watching this speech. Turns out he is quite the funny guy.

I had not watched this performance in a while; it is nice to remember how articulate and witty a leader we have. While I am not happy about his handling of the health care situation, I know he's capable of leading us all in the right direction. And he should definitely do more roasts. He sent up Boehner and Steele very well. Whuzzup!

That is why I do not sign any job offer with a base salary that I am not satisfied because this is the only guaranteed income that we can get from our respective companies. Bonuses and allowances as they said is not guaranteed because it depends on the company's and employees performance. And so, my budget always depend on my basic salary...

right on, well said, One question though. Will she and the rest of the senators accept a salary cap if they run their business into the ground. The government is pissing away more money than these financial institutions ever could.

Stop the insanity. Once the rest of your hair falls out you'll be at your target. Might even have to gain a few pounds. Party on Timmy P.

Don't be paranoid, dude. I just need to loss some extra pounds to be more healthy. I think 160-165 is my ideal weight assuming I don't put on a ton of muscle. We'll see if I actually get that far.

Wow! What a wonderful compliment. I know sometimes all of the things the both of you do for Kyah seems like thankless job. It's nice to see you appreciate each other so much : ) I think that will only help Kyah in the long run : )

I didn't realize you were a pinko until I added you as a friend, but that's okay.

As to the substance of your post, you mean that assuming the price of housing would only go up wasn't a good bet? Who knew? But at least I have those AIG credit default swaps to protect against defaults!

Watching Senator McCain graciously conceding the election to Senator Obama. McCain is a good American. He has served his country well. As I have said before, his campaign lead him down the wrong path. He very well could have run a campaign of hope and promise as I believe he would have run had he had the choice. It is a shame that the people in charge of his campaign did not embrace McCain's strengths, and it is a shame that in order to become President as a Republican in 2008, he had to run the campaign that he ran. For the sake of the country, Obama will need to make sure McCain is involved in his administration in one way or another. Judging by the booing being done at the concession speech, there is a lot of healing to be done.

Yep. Virginia is starting to fall to Obama. I have a good vibe about Missouri too. We'll see what happens once St. Louis and Kansas City precincts report.
