Attack in the United States
Like most if not all of us in the United States, I'm shocked by the terrorist attacks in New York
and Washington, D.C. George Michael news didn't seem important while I sat
glued to the television, feeling as if I were watching a movie with excellent
special effects. But instead of watching stunt professionals safely diving
out of a burning building, I watched in terror as everyday people -- people like
you or me -- decided they'd rather fall to their deaths than burn alive.
For those needing more information on how to help, Yahoo! has an excellent
Emergency
and Relief Information page. If you would like to make a contribution
to the American Red Cross site but are
having difficulties connecting to the site, you can also contribute money via Yahoo!
and Amazon.
I will resume with George Michael news tomorrow -- but I'll
still be glued to the television trying to understand why anyone would be
willing to hurt so many people.

system called Pagoo.
I first found out about this service from a friend of
mine. Whenever he's online, I hear a recorded message from him and then I
can leave a message. While he's online, Pagoo notifies him that I've
called and lets him hear my message. If you're online a lot and your
family and friends are always complaining that they can't get in contact with
you, this is the service for you.
