I'm not sure where to begin. I'm litterally sitting on the couch as I type this watching the zoo that is the media circus surrounding Michael Jackson's death. It is sad any time a human loses their life, but what is most interesting to me is what people are saying about the late Jackson. They are sentaments that I don't think we would have heard just 2 days ago.
I realize people aren't going to say today that he was an egotistical child molester, it just wouldn't sit well today, but I'm saying from my perspective, he wasn't a great man. Amazing performer. Gifted artist. No doubt a brilliant celebrity but not some one I look up to as a person in the least.

Wolfram Alpha
This site is awesome. It makes Cha-Cha look like child's play.
That result is a little silly, but type in something like, What is the population of ... Insert City, or 3^2+5^2=?. It was designed to do math problems, but it does more.
Let me know what you think about it in the comments section.

Not sure what to write about
I'm not sure what to write about, so this will be a little bit of stream of consciousness. Whenever I hear that term, I think of a brain peeing. Brain peeing, is a funny thought. I'm sure it would be quite relieving, however. Many Fridays at the bank my brain could go for a pee.
Dreams and sleep have been on my mind recently. Its a strange phenomena, sleep. Our bodies can go longer without it than our brains, in my very armature opinion. I know my mind goes well before my arms or legs. Take for example the move I helped Adam and Ali make this weekend. The body was willing, but the mind became weak. It was about 2:30 and I could certainly carry another box, but I was having trouble remembering people's names and words were running together. Glad I didn't have to drive anywhere!
They say 18 hours without sleep is like driving drunk. I don't know who "they" is, but I suppose as long as 2+ people say something they can be "they."
Last thought is on dreams. Our brains get so much information in a given day, I hear it needs to sort it all out, and dreams are how they do it. I'm not sure what happens in my day that makes me think at night there is a man in a bear costume standing over my bed, but apparently it happens.
I've been known to have weird dreams though. Exhibit A - there are snakes in my fish tank. Exhibit B - While driving home from a football game, I thought my mom was driving off the road when she was exiting on a ramp. Exhibit C - whatever caused me to run around on the ground on all fours and scare the hoo-haa out of Staci.
Sorry I couldn't give more detail.
It's time for bed.

Apple
Apple could get away with murder and it's fans would just keep coming back for more. A year ago when they launched the 2nd Generation iPhone they tried to push the new OS to all the phones, crashing the system. I doubt most people remember that, unless you were one of those with a $600 paper weight for a couple days. They still run ads taughting how stable and solid their products are. (I'll admit it was probably AT&T's fault, but they are married to them, so guilt by association) Now with the new OS that is being launched today they are going to enable some sort of bluetooth and possibly FM capability. I just tried to download it, however, and it took 30 minutes to even get connected to the iTunes store. This was built into the hardware from a year ago, but just left out of the software. If Windows would have done something like this, it would be another viral TV ad in a second. I love my iPod touch (ask my wife), but I'm just saying we as consumers of a product have a double standard.
