Who's the Man!

So...I took a lot of ribbing from the guy's in the fantasy football league I'm in, for keeping Brett Favre as my QB.


Here are his stats so far this year...26 TD's, 13 Int


3905 Yds, 220.00 Fantasy points, ranked 11th overall player in Yahoo fantasy sports! with 2 games to go!


He has also broken many records this year, and the cool thing is that for the first time in a few years he actually looks like he's back to having fun on the field. But I can't take all of the credit for my lovely wife would have castrated me if I had not kept him on my team, so I guess Go Packers, Maybe he'll win another Superbowl and go out on top!

Robot Guitar

So the good people at Gibson are making life easier for today's guitarists, they have come up with the "self tuning guitar"!
Check out the info below:


A new electric guitar from Gibson comes with robotics technology that allows the instrument to tune itself in a matter of seconds. The technology, developed in partnership with German company Tronical, allows the guitar to recognize pitch and use its processor and six motors on its tuning pegs to tighten the strings accordingly. Gibson, based in Nashville, TN., says it's the world's first guitar-turned-robot. The Les Paul with a Blue Silverburst finish goes on sale globally Dec. 7 for 308,700 yen (US$2,780; euro1,880) in Japan and US$2,499 in the U.S.

Pretty cool huh!

B & E

So I know it's been a loooooong time since I posted but I got the urge so here we go!
Last week on the news I saw a Church / School segment, it had to do with a church / school being broken into, which is a terrible thing.
The reason or thought was that around the holidays, that the place had either more money than usual or misc. gifts laying around that had been donated for needy others.
Well at the end of the story, they had a clip of the Pastor / Minister type guy and he said....I don't know why they broke in to steel, if they had just asked, we would have given it to them!

I'm sorry but I must challenge this answer, really would they? If I walk into a church building and say to the Pastor " I need help with money" what do you think as a first timer I would hear?
Now if I walked into a church and said "Hi, if you don't help me with some fundage I'll be back tonight to rob the joint" is that going to change any one's mind?
I doubt it! it might add to a few member spending the night in the building or some added security, but a positive result for me? I don't know.
Don't get me wrong, churches do help people and I have been one to be blessed by my church,
but there are checks and balances for benevolence just as there are for many companies or organizations who help people, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just the way it is.
