New TOYS! ;)

Apple just announced new powerbooks and bluetooth wireless keyboards. 2 12″ Powerbooks at 1Gz, 2 15″ PowerBooks at 1GHz and 1.25Gz, and a 17″ at 1.33 GHz. This only days after new iPods and new iMacs… LORD – someone’s been busy

MAN I love new toys! 😉

Simple Pleasantries

Ok… So can i recommend a few things that everyone could try that would make the world a much nicer place to be in (and make me not feel like smackin people upside the head on my way to work)?

• When you see someone signaling to change lanes – slow up and let them do it.
• When you see someone trying to get out of their garage on a busy street slow down and let them out – don’t swerve into on coming traffic to make sure you get past them first
• When someone slows to let you change lanes – just wave a quick thank you
• When you walk into a building with someone close behind you – hold the door.
• When you pass someone on the street smile…

None of these things will slow you down more than a fraction of a second and sure will make someone’s day…
(Needless to say – It took a line of traffic passing to get out of my garage today, had 3 people speed up to stop me from getting off at my exit, another scowel at me when I finally switched lanes… And i’m usually a really aggresive driver…)
Happy Tuesday

Religion

(Watch out – this is a long one – and probably only interesting to me)

So I went to church this morning.. And it got me thinking about why I still go to church and how that fits into my life.

I’ve always had a really strange relationship to church and religion which has changed over time. When I was little my family (mother’s side of the family at least) was very religious (Christian Scientist) and we went to church every sunday like clockwork.. My mom wasn’t very vocal or push about it and my dad just went along to be supportive. But my Grandma – she was another story. I think women her age took classes on how to deal with kids in the church and she’s always done all the stuff any good God fearing Christian woman should do… She sang me hymns at bed time. She bought me books about Daniel and the lions den and Joseph and the coat of many colors. She always had little mints an paper and pens in her purse on sundays to keep us quiet during the service (our church was small so sunday school was before the main service so the teachers could hear the service). Even to this day she checks on me to see if I’m going to church and explaining to me why I should try to convince Kevin to come with me.
