A Bit Ironic

And this one takes the cake. Apparently Microsoft is whining to the Justice Department about an advertising partnership between Google & Yahoo because together they control 80% of the search market. Yes, this is the same Microsoft who dominates 90-95% of the PC Operating System market. What's next, congress lecturing us about not being in debt?

Me Too!

Katie started it, so I figured I'd tag along too.

Have You Ever…

1. gone on a blind date? No, the closest to that was someone I'd never met face-to-face, but we had talked on the phone.
   
2. skipped school? If so, it wasn't very memorable.
3. been on the opposite side of your country? I suppose that would be California or Washington or something, so not really. The furthest I've been in each direction... New Mexico, Florida, North Carolina, Canada.
4. swam in the ocean? Yes, in the Atlantic & the Gulf of Mexico.
5. had your booze taken away by the cops? Nope, I don't think I ever had any for them to take.
6. lettered in a high school sport? I Think I got a C most of the time, does that count?
7. cried yourself to sleep? Ahem... No, of course not! How dare you imply that!
   
8. played a musical instrument? What's the difference between playing and attempting to play? I mean, if you attempt to play the guitar and sound comes out, no matter how awful that sounds is, does it still count as playing?
9. sung karaoke? No.
10. cheated on an exam? Yes, in high-school. Virtually my entire class did, and I got caught with the questions ahead of time. There was an inquisition of the entire class. It was not fun. It was complete dumb-luck chance that I caught. I remember my youth pastor later telling me that when he prayed for us he prayed that we would get caught if we ever did anything wrong, so I figure the whole thing was his fault.
11. played spin-the-bottle? No.
12. laughed until some sort of beverage came out of your nose? I think so, but I don't recall the specifics.
13. watched the sun rise with someone you care about? When we were in New Mexico a few years ago Katie & I got up early and drove about an hour into the mountains outside of Santa Fe to watch the sun rise. We were on the west side of the mountain, so we really didn't get to see the sun rise, but it was really cool to watch the Santa Fe Valley as the sunlight spilled over the mountain to fill it.
14. ever been arrested? No. I was put into the back of a police car once after being pulled over for speeding, (not really sure why) but not arrested.
15. gone ice skating? Yes, a couple of times.
16. been skinny dipping? No.
17. been on television? Yes, The Uncle Al Show.
18. thrown up in front of a date? No, not that I recall.
19. been out of the country? Belize, Cozumel, Canada, Kenya, The Netherlands.
20. had sushi? No, and I have no desire to.
