"Worst President in History" -- Here's what a guy who worked for Bush now says...

How Scary Is This? - New York Times: "Lawrence Wilkerson, a retired Army colonel who served as chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, addressed the administration's arrogance and ineptitude in a talk last week that was astonishingly candid by Washington standards.

'We have courted disaster in Iraq, in North Korea, in Iran,' said Mr. Wilkerson. 'Generally, with regard to domestic crises like Katrina, Rita ... we haven't done very well on anything like that in a long time. And if something comes along that is truly serious, something like a nuclear weapon going off in a major American city, or something like a major pandemic, you are going to see the ineptitude of this government in a way that will take you back to the Declaration of Independence.'"

Jello Gets Hit with the Smartphone Bug

Well, I did it. I went and got myself a Samsung i730 Smartphone. My Palm semi-crashed and I used that excuse to go to the Verizon store. Despite my relatively impoverished state, I was tired of carrying around a pda and a phone and wanted a portable device that did everything. I settled on the Samsung, because it DOES everything. I've spent much of the weekend studying it plus accessorizing it. Perhaps I'll soon get down to doing some "actual work."

Anyway, I found this link on free phone software you might find interest...Free is sometimes good and sometimes not..."Buyer" beware.
