For those aches and pains
This is from Men’s Health and I’d thought I’d share.
- Headache – Advil (ibuprofen)
*too much can lead to kidney failure
- Back Pain – Aleve (naproxen)
- Fever – Tylenol (acetaminophen)
*too much can damage your liver
Try Again Academy
The Oscars are like Opera. It’s high brow entertainment. Good, but disconnected and out of touch with public opinion. You don’t see movies like ‘The Hangover’ nominated for Best Picture. Not because they’re awful, but because they aren’t “Oscar” movies. Most Best Picture winners are about triumph over obstacles and characters that are tested and rise above. Most movies that do well in this country don’t have much dialogue and have more action than story.
On the other hand, the Oscars have never been about “the best performance as who is more the “Hollywood player”. Who has campaigned and oiled the machine to get noticed by Academy voters and press. For the industry it seems like the Academy voters view their vote as a vote into a club than a vote for “the best”. I will say that pertains to the acting categories and best picture nominees.
Leave the hosts to one and have someone that can handle a room! Standouts are:
- Whoopi Goldberg
- Steve Martin
- Alec Baldwin
- Billy Crystal
I would even suggest Oprah Winfrey to host and put her own spin on the telecast.
Please prove me wrong Academy of Motion Picture Sciences
BTW, my best dressed is Miss Halle!!

Need or Want?
Need or Want?
There’s a tablet revolution out there. From HP, Motorola to Dell, everyone has a tablet coming out. What need are they filling? This market didn’t even exist a year ago. Everyday people barely use the full potential of their smartphones and computers outside of maxing out their hard drives.
Computers and smartphones fill a need. Take me for example, I’m not home much during the day and if I want to have a place for my email, web surfing and productivity applications I can’t do better than a smartphone, because it fits in my bag or pocket and I can take it anywhere. I rarely take my notebook with me anymore. It is just too heavy.
Email, texting, RSS reader, camera, phone, task manager, etc. A device that can send me reminders on the go and can be my “hub of information” is what I need. I have an HTC (Android) device and I like the operating system and HTC’s hardware. I’m very pleased.
In comes the tablet device with a large screen that can be a Personal Information Manager (PIM). Why would I need that? How does that fit with my other electronics? I have a Nook, so I can read and my phone can take care of everything else. Would it be fun to have a tablet for my video, etc. Yes, but not enough to spend the $500 and above price. Even HP (Palm) whom I love, is going to have to work to get my money. I want it, but I surely don’t need it. Not when I spend most of my time on my music player listening to podcasts and then reading on my Nook.
I’m just trying to resist the desire to have the “new toy”. I need a more compelling reason to get it besides, “It looks and feels cool”.
Do I need another device?
No, but I want one.
