Please check in this site to find out how many slaves work for you. It calculates the humans forced to produce the stuff we use. Hopefully by answering the questions on the 11 pages, and finding out the number of slaves that work for you, you will be more careful in future decisions of what you purchase to reduce the number of slaves producing your stuff.

Pumpkin Patch

Last Sunday we visited the first Pumpkin Patch for the season.

I like this pumpkin because it is different. It's a pumpkin I can see come alive, and wear a hat in a children's story.

The almost red color of this pumpkin makes me like it.

A Little Shake

Today we had 2 smaller earthquakes with a 4.0 and 3.9 magnitude within 6hrs. A little shake here and a little shake there. I am happy I do not work on the top floor of any of these buildings downtown. I hope we get a peaceful night.

Inspiring Breakfast

In the morning I attended Shelter Network's Annual Benefit Breakfast. After a couple of rough days, it was very inspiring to start my day off by listening to voices of hope. We were 1100 people who met up for this very important breakfast. Leigh Anne Tuohy, who was the keynote speaker, shared many funny stories with us, as well as reminded us to look around in our every day lives to see how we can help less fortunate. I believe most attendees left the breakfast in good spirit, ready to start contributing either voluntary or monetary. Happy Contributing!

Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

Steve Jobs' Commencement Address at Stanford 2005. Thank you Steve for being and staying real.

Steve Jobs

I could not believe the breaking news I heard in late afternoon, saying Steve Jobs passed away. What a great visionary, What a great innovator, and What a genius the world has lost.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
- Steve Jobs

Feel Good Evening In The City

It was a feel good evening. One of the last games of the season. Tony Bennett was one of the 46,000 people attending. The weather was warm, and the crowd was in a mellow but cheerful spirit.
