Well I have been riding the electric scooter back and forth to work at Long & Foster Real Estate for over a week now. My commute is roughly 15 miles and it takes me about 45 minutes. It is a real pleasure to ride especially when you consider the amount of money I am saving on a daily basis not driving a gas guzzler. Every day I see more and more of these scooters on the road. Hopefully this trend will continue and automobiles will become the odd vehicle on the road.
Beside just being a fun way to commute, I really feel good knowing that I too am helping in nearly every possible way to reduce pollution. Admittedly, I do smile each time I pass a gas station showing prices for unleaded gas at over $4.00 a gallon.

Best Irish joke of 2006 (allegedly)
John O’Reilly hoisted his beer and said, “Here’s to spending the rest of me life, between the legs of me wife!”
That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night.
He went home and told his wife, Mary, “I won the prize for the Best toast of the night”.
She said, “Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?”
John said, “Here’s to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife.”
“Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!” Mary said.
The next day, Mary ran into one of John’s drinking buddies on the street corner. The man chuckled leeringly and said, “John won the prize the other night at the pub with a toast about you, Mary.”
She said, “Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he’s only been there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come.”

What will Microsoft do now?
Yahoo and Google will make a joint announcement at 1:30 this afternoon, we’ve heard from a reliable source close to one of the companies. What is the announcement? The very likely answer is, a search partnership between the two companies that outsources all or part of Yahoo search marketing, and possibly search itself, to Google.

They Call Me Scooter
Got my new electric moped Sunday and have been having tons of fun breaking it in. I will eventually start using it for my daily commute. With gas prices over $4- a gallon, I will be smiling all the way to work and back!Drove it a few miles this morning to go and vote in our local elections. Had a little problem when my right foot got caught on a piece of trim and I ended up taking a spill. No big damage, just a few scratches and popped off the end of the right break handle. I have to take in back in a couple of weeks to get a part replace anyway so I figure I will just have that replaced then as well.
I strongly recommend to anyone with a short commute to look into buying one of these. It is not only good for the environment but it would also be good for your pocket!

Plurk - The new social network aint so social
I have been using Plurk for only a couple of days now. I was cajoled into it by a friend at the office. It is an instant messaging type service with an historical timeline which allows you to go back and comment on posts made by people in your network as well as post your own messages. The one issue I have been seeing as more people join is that, much like Twitter, it is having trouble handling the load. I just got this a few minutes ago "Oops... The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in a few moments."
It is a fun way to connect with multiple people but if it continues to have issues like this, or if the issue actually get worse, I see Plurk going the way of the dinosaur.
