We wondered if he would be at this game today and he is… Interesting to see when he turns his head to the left or the right, his whole body turns. He’s very stiff walking the...

Why I love the fall season in Middle Tennessee!

Posted by Benton on Oct 30, 2011 in Fascinating, Hard to Believe!, Real Life | 0 comments

A 35 degree, frosty crisp October 30th morning in Middle Tennessee as I return from an early workout. When many of my friends are not enjoying several inches of wet snow in the northeast this weekend, we have a peak fall sun-drenched morning here at home. How can you not love this? Happy Sunday everyone! This is the day that the Lord hath made and I will...

By using a complicated configuration of lasers and other sensitive equipment, reportedly, Google has logged more than 140,000 with these prototypes without incident. But last week, they had their first accident – not a bad one but...

Facebook – you now have competition!

WOW! Spent some time over the weekend getting to know Google + and this fascinates me! As I was reviewing it I kept thinking that the folks at Facebook are probably banging their collective heads against the wall saying .. “why didn’t we do this!?” and at the same time, now working 24/7 to catch up with what Google is about to make...
