Today has been one very busy day.  We were invited to two large birthday parties for our friends’ children.  Both of these families we consider close friends and want to be a part of the lives of their children.  But what do you do when they both schedule parties on the same day? We were lucky this time, as the parties were scheduled staggered so we actually could attend both.  But after running all over town for both parties I got to thinking what would be the “proper” way to handle such a scheduling hiccup? Is there a proper etiquette to declining to attend a party of a friend’s child?  What are the do’s and do not’s? 

My search of the internet did not turn up many results that I expected.  I did find a how to decline page that I will share with you. How to decline invitations gracefully

This was the google search I did to come up with the above post

If you know of any links that go into detail on this, or have great ideas yourself on this topic, I would love to hear form you.

Comments wecome.

Until the next time,

Frighteningly enough, this isn’t the first (or second) time that we’ve seen scientists pat themselves on the back for creating a mind-reading machine, but a dedicated team from Carnegie Mellon has just announced a computer that “has been trained to read people’s minds by looking at scans of their brains as they thought about specific words.” In a completely unsurprising move, gurus familiar with the development are suggesting that the breakthrough could be used to better understand how the brain organizes knowledge, and eventually, treat language disorders and learning disabilities more effectively. That’s all gravy from here, but when this stuff starts passing as evidence in court, you’ll know it’s time to seriously investigate a relocation to Mars.

Solid state hard drives are revolutionary.  They have taken a normal hard drive and instead of using a disk it uses memory banks.  Allowing hard drives to be much smaller in size allowing more room for ventilation in smaller notebooks.  The biggest problem so far with solid state drives is the price tag.  These tiny drives cost a fortune for just 60 gigs of storage.  Now they are going to take a price drop and be much more affordable.  Allowing people to indulge in the much smaller laptops.  

“Compared to the price you’re paying today for a 64GB drive. You’ll get a 128GB of storage for less than half the price (of the 64GB drive),” said Patrick Wilkison, vice president of marketing and business development at STEC, a supplier of MLC-based solid-state drives.
