It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: ‘And this, too, shall pass away.’ -Abraham Lincoln
Another skill of general society is falling to the will march of technology; that of penmanship. Like the general skill of being able to remember your parents number or your friends numbers without looking at your cellphone, so too has technology taken the skill of penmanship.
Very few of the young (and they are getting younger) actually write anything anymore. More often it is typed, or sometimes not even that, as they are now given the actually power point presentation so that they can review it at home.

Commentary, Truthiness Comments Off on On Why Open Source, Open Access, Open Anything, is Good
Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren’t very new at all.-Abraham Lincoln
Open source. The very term sends people executives running, thinking of dropped profit margins. A threat they cannot deal with, when in truth, there is lots of money to be made with open source. Many programs and groups successfully do so, how? thur software support programs. But that’s not the only reason open source is good.
Open source gets your product out there and gets people to use and build towards it. smaller groups generally can’t profit for it, but adobe has made millions giving away acrobat reader for free. There are dozens of PDF readers and writers on the market, but everyone downloads adobe reader.

Life Lessons Comments Off on On Parents and Future.
May our children and our children’s children to a thousand generations, continue to enjoy the benefits conferred upon us by a united country,-Abraham Lincoln
On the best of days my parents are difficult.
Amung people i know, there are those that depend on their parents, and often times get along with them. Amung others, there are those that have basically moved on without their parents and generally have a harder time re-interacting with them. Nothing surprising there; but this is not a personal blog, but an editorial one, so let me get to the point. Almost all, are now taking care of their parents and spending more time with or thinking about them than ever before.
