- New VMWare betas? Hmm, good stuff – can’t wait to see what new things they’ve cooked up that would focus on desktop/laptop users.
Slashdot | Sun May Be Warming Both Earth and Mars
I’m shocked, SHOCKED that “global warming” could actually be a natural phenomenon! Amazing that the National Geographic actually reported this. The audacity to suggest that pollution generated by humanity has reached the ability to trump the natural cycles of this planet is astounding. Its well known that cattle the world over release more CO2 (and methane 
) into the atmosphere than automobiles do.

- Steve Rubel comments on USAToday’s efforts to break into the modern world of socialization features on their web site. Good for them.
Entrepreneurship Calling
Mark Evans talks about the current entrepreneurial movement going on. I have to admit that I am more and more leaning towards that option as I think about the future of my career.
There are a lot of reasons that starting my own business is appealing. Mainly its because I’ve been at one place too long. A person fights the same battles every year, follow the same “leader” month after month, and it doesn’t seem to make a huge difference.
That’s not to say that being part of a large (or small) organization where you have no direct monetary involvement is the wrong choice for many. But I came from a consulting background. My core strengths are the ability to observe and advise on the best use of technology for an organization. These are not being used to their full advantage in an enterprise environment focused on a “maintenance mode” mentality.
The current move by many individuals to become their own boss, to become the decision maker, the marketing person, the finance person, and the billable worker has its appeal in the control over one’s life. By becoming an entrepreneur, you gain control over your life, and the direction of your career.
While, yes, you also take on the enormous responsibility of financial success or failure, critics also have to admit that it really is dependant on your effort in pursuing success. And when a person has the interest and desire to take control of their destiny, magical things can happen when they take the initiative.

There’s NO valid argument against the SAVE America Act.
My bill would make it easy to vote.
And hard to cheat.
As soon as DHS is fully funded (as it should be within 48 hours), the Senate should resume consideration of it—and stay on the bill until it passes.
Pass it on.
How are Democrats cheating in L.A.?
Let me show you…
There are 26 registered voters at this toilet in Los Angeles.
I’m not kidding. I have the voter records. See for yourself. The only thing here is a stinky port-a john inside an empty parking lot.
No homes. No mailboxes.
As governor, the State Capitol will stand for unity and common sense.
In addition to the POW/MIA flag that has long flown over the State Capitol, we will fly two flags when I am governor: the Wisconsin state flag and the American flag.
That’s it. No politics.
