The Friday Five!

1. What is your preferred trusted news source?
Newprint: The New York Times.
Online: The Economist Online.

2. What is a news source that you will never trust?

Fox News. Fox News. Fox News. Fox News. Fox News. Fox News.
Get the picture?

3. What is the news topic during the last calendar year that you feel got the worst coverage?

The breadth and depth of the lies and deciets of the Bush Administration. This Administration has the Press running scared. If the balance of power in the Congress shifts at the end of this year you will see many more stories about this.

4. What news item do you feel got too much coverage in the last calendar year?

Any one of several Big-Time-Celebrity Court stories. I don't care, I never cared, and I don't want to know.

5. If you had complete control of your favored news source(s) (answer to question 1), what would you do with it that is not already being done?

I would return the New York Times online source to allow full access without Pay. I would not change anything with the Economist Online, it's an amazing service. Full access with your full subscription.

Saturday Night and Sunday Saturday Night Dinner and Martini's Our dinner at Bamboo Asian Fusion was very good. This place was a bog standard "Hibachi cooking table" restaurant, as well as the best of the fine dining at the Paradisus. The restaurant lived up to its name on both counts, very good food, but not superlative performance. The only complaint I had was that the food was much saltier than normal.

In the mean time we had a really fun time after dinner hanging out with lots of Liza's friends. You will even find a picture of one of the women we were hanging with smoking a cigar on the Photo Bucket site . Another lovely night in Paradise. Sunday - ATV ride and the Closing dinne...

Computer Tech Spent a good five hours today working with the new ED computers. The boss had finalized arrangements Friday for a new place for the new company so we are out of the old building finally. I really hated going in to the old building every day! Anyway the owner's sister (remember this is a NEW owner - not the much berated old owner of the old business) is a CIS person for a big corporation. They just upgraded their old computers so she was able to gift us with two Dell computers. One is sweet: 128 Mg Ram, decent size HD for business, PII chip and Windows 98se. The other was problematic however: it had 2000 professional in it so I had to reformat the HD with Windows 98se (so the two computers could network if needed). It only has 64 mg of Ram and it also has a PII. The problem was that the video card - not on the motherboard thank god - would not work in 32bit color with W98. Well I had an ATI Rage laying around that I bought for A's computer but could no...
