- @jcruzer Mmm, I bet that stings. But yeah, not a lot of time atm for sure. #
- Okay, full swing on the day already. So much to do this week. Trying to be very focussed on a handful of tasks vs the normal plethora. #
- Dollar Reaches 13-Month High… http://twurl.nl/yx8mf4 #
- Fed May See Companies, States as Next Crisis Fronts: http://twurl.nl/gu7ex1 #
- We still need to filter the money to people’s secured & unsecured debt, letting it flow back into the system: http://twurl.nl/33kywq #
- Thanks @technoweenie for link: smtp2web.com #
- Excellent observation @rotkapchen re: comment unity entry. Thanks for sharing! Indeed, there is much to ponder re: 3rd commandment. #
- @jcruzer surely it is so. My 8 year old learned so much and enjoyed it thoroughly. The 2 yr old just had a lot of fun w/ me.
#ldsconf # - @kraakerjack had a great time listening to very inspiring speeches from good men who just want to help us to lift this world a little higher #
- @jcruzer LOL… Well… When your calling comes… #
- @redbugz interesting. I’d like to chat sometime re a project I have on the burner. What’s the best way to contact you? #
- Anyone know of some full Flex & general computer science classes offered online? Or perhaps Flex + some sort of backend dev pkg? #
- @jenaelee you did see this http://www.eventbrite.com/event/163438850/ last night, right? #
- Everyone excited for #ldsconf?
# - #ldsconf President Monson speaking on living today and appreciating today vs. living for tomorrow. So important in such a busy society. #
- President Eyring’s talk in reference to unity is so poignant for today… #ldsconf http://bit.ly/4tFcwR #
- @alesplin Indeed! #
- WOW, Elder Packer’s talk is *awesome.* What a powerful example of loyalty to nation and principle beyond and in the face of corruption … #
- To paraphrase: whatever trials may lie ahead, and they will be many, we must be faithful. #ldsconf #
- I so appreciate we have leaders who are in touch w/ society & those trends & difficulties upon us. What a great blessing. #ldsconf #
- Amen: this earth was created & the Church was restored for families & the salvation thereof in addition to the whole human family. #ldsconf #
- Oh wow! My two yr old just discovered a spider… we saved him quickly putting him outside to be free.
# - No one has learned to live until they’ve put away their ego & serve others. Husbands & wives need to be selfless, not selfish. #ldsconf #
- @ensigndj indeed. Both Elder Packer’s & Elder Nelson’s talks merit contemplation, introspection and action. #ldsconf #
- @johnandrews could you pls delineate your desires of a big G competitor? I’d like to know your thoughts on what would actually “compete.” #
- That talk reminded me of a time on my Spanish spk mission where I was able to remember about 10 ppl’s names while teaching a group. #ldsconf #
- LOL, 2 YrO entered w/o diaper; I asked 8 YrO to diaper him; 2 YrO put a threatening look on his face & said he would put diaper on 8 YrO! :O #
- @jhofheins Neat! My wife has many dreams that seem to be msgs or in some way show reality or the future. What a gift to have that exp. #
- So grateful for my 8 yro’s observations and questions during #ldsconf. Course @jenaelee is getting a lot out of it as well.
# - Touching: two suffering sisters, a mother & sister who lost their husband & son give thanks to Christ 4 his atonement in the temple #ldsconf #
- Important: Find someone who is having a hard time and do something for them. Such examples of selflessness, as we should be. #ldsconf #
- @kerina indeed. I liked the story abt his 3 yr old. So like us “Hope you know, we’re having a bad day…”
# - A more searing anguish than searing flames: eternal exile from God. Eternal life in presence of God is our most precious prize. #ldsconf #
- Oh wow, my 8 yo & 7 yo are so hilarious, unseparable and such wonderful boys. Thank you sons. Directing music in living room for #ldsconf
# - @jcruzer home. Had it on in both living rooms & on the big workstation in the home office.
The new web broadcast was nice albeit buggy. # - @zelph wow, slick, but I’d like to see the video also.
Transcripts would be nice as well…
# - Well, #ldsconf sure was a joy this fall. It was a lot of fun associating with you all as well! Hopefully this won’t end w/ conference. #
- By the way, I think perhaps we should get accustomed to using #lds whenever we just want to address anyone in the LDS community. #ldsconf #
- @goaggieblue was getting about 10 min on my end here in Ohio. Thought you’d want to know. #
- @goaggieblue sorry, should have said 10 min *behind.* #
- @zelph oh? I did not see any instructions. Just saw the mp3’s in the archive area. Of course did not poke around any really. #
- @justin_hart #ldsconf We have “Finger Food Fest” an hour b4 priesthood session. LDS tailgate they say.
# - #ldsconf Curious, any LDS Flex and/or Flash devs around? iPhone devs? #
- Ahhhhhh, my sweet tired little Jonathan (2 yrs) just crawled up into my lap while I do some work b4 leaving to priesthood session 4 #ldsconf #
- Interesting, #ldsconf is trending at the top on Twitter atm! http://bit.ly/4F2eQ0 #
- @jenaelee maybe I’ll DM you some… oh, wait, perhaps I shouldn’t after Elder Oak’s talk… But its not sacrament, right?
#ldsconf # - Okay! Did quick kitchen pickup b4 running off to #ldsconf priesthood w/ 8 yr old & 2yr old.
Fun, gotta get there b4 chili is gone!
#
This morning I feel somewhat sobered. My wife came to me and said, “I feel like I’m mourning.” I asked her why and she explained that this economic crisis and the condition of our nation make her feel like someone great has died. She is very concerned about what will happen next and as to what our children will be facing.
I, too, feel this burden. It seems that we have made the full transition from the world superpower to the world’s super-farce. I indeed hope that this is temporary, but the only way that it can be temporary is if we make some changes. Read the rest of this entry »
- Flatly, I’m glad I didn’t watch the debate. I’m so sick of this election. Interesting to hear of Biden’s repetitious brain washing tactics. #
- @usermac
I just get tired of poorly engineered products. # - Surprised: hearing folks talk rave reviews on Palin’s desires to clean up gov’t vs Biden’s apparent multitude of empty promises. Hmm. #
- Lots of running ahead of me today. Must run to Columbus to pick up 3 new workstations & a multitude of other things to do otherwise. #
- @hyperg in complete honestly I wonder how McCain or Obama can “step in as president.” Neither are the statesmen that our nation needs atm. #
- Pushing for a local university to start offering Flex and iPhone development courses. Looks like we’re close… #
- @hyperg for sure. #
- Excellent, I’ve been waiting for these (http://twurl.nl/txd7ke) for 12 years for one of my inventions. Exciting to see fruition. #
- Okay guys… friendly reminder for those of us w/ families: family time is what makes your wife happy!
http://twurl.nl/gzqj4z # - @kastner under the weather with illness or other things? #
- Very interesting: Calorie overload sends the brain haywire: http://twurl.nl/r4g2f5 #
- @usermac doesn’t that sound reasonable re obesity? #
- @kastner LOL, I hear ya’ there! With as many kids & business as I have there’s rarely a day when I don’t feel like sleeping under my desk. #
- At any rate, I did something much better & much more enjoyable than watch the debate last night: played a video game with my little babies. #
- I absolutely hate the mindless developmental routines of Microsoft. The software they develop is **THOUGHTLESS**. #
- What a beautiful sky today. The clouds are gorgeous passing overhead. #
- @pgbkruit I’m so sorry. I just someone would put the proverbial bullet in the brain of M$ already. So much suffering…
# - I can smell the wonderful autumn feast that @yolee is cooking away for this evening. Thanks sweetie! #
- Just discovered my new favorite app launcher: F10 Launch Studio http://bit.ly/3dMipN #
- @jenaelee remember: http://twurl.nl/baypo7 I’ll help you install, just remind me in a little bit. #
- Oh man. Will I be gaining another couple pounds tonight @jenaelee!
#
- I wish that we could all understand that all that really matters in this life is how much you lift it and those around you. #
- INTERESTING: HOPE for homeowners: Those who are behind on mortgage payments for primary residence see immediately: http://twurl.nl/k27mw8 #
- @gvvaughan
I understand. I go through bouts like that as well… # - @jenaelee sorry that you didn’t win the Carsonified contest. Hopefully we’ll be able to attend these regardless soon…
# - Never, ever, ever buy an HP laptop. I do very much dislike repairing laptops. Apple is rough enough, but other mfgs are plain stupid. #
- Gee, there went the neighborhood… http://twurl.nl/64m2xx
#
- @yolee, @jenaelee and I just enjoyed the first episode of this season’s The Office. What fun! Now I need to get them hooked on Heroes… #
- @jenaelee nah, thanks though. I’m not real keen on those. Only good with jalepeño cheddar dip, and only mediocre at that.
# - What do you think about my last blog post that was tweeted? #
- Could I ask you a favor? Would you pls sign Jenaé’s blog comments so she might have a chance for the golden ticket? http://twurl.nl/vhqnjv #
- Wow, these dolphins are indeed amazing. The intelligence involved in the manipulations is unbelievable! http://twurl.nl/xu3d4p #
- Perhaps a bit of humor mixed w/ some real life observations are what makes this !vegan post funny: http://twurl.nl/zyqks4 Extremism != good. #
- MAN… to think that @jenaelee, @jcruzer and I were here around Middleton working just a matter of weeks ago… http://twurl.nl/ogq5mo #
Perhaps we should take another route.

I believe that this money, perhaps a little more, should be divided up between all indebted (perhaps more) households in the United States and thus given back to the people so as to allow the amelioration of financial bondage to occur. If the government empowers families to pay off their homes, their loans, their credit cards, and other debt, which will SIMULTANEOUSLY GIVE BACK to the financial institutions we will see a much happier and freer society with the side effect of assisting the financial institutions somewhat.
It may also be simultaneously considered that this be used to free folks from current IRS debt as well. The effect will be a stimulation of people’s personal finances, an assistance of small business owners that will in turn drive our economy much further ahead and raise general happiness and satisfaction amongst the ranks.
Wow, now that is a solution that will have immediate tangible benefits.
- Short nap & chased the children around a bit.
The two youngest discovered the joys of dirt in our decorative trees @ the front door. # - Hope the Citi acquisition of Wachovia helps them out of the hole. I have some a family member rather worried atm re Wachovia’s dilemma. #
- You know, would be interesting to see the $700B ÷ U.S. households given to each household. Might stimulate things more than the current plan #
- Sounds like New Zealand was shaken by a quake. What kind of damage has gone on and are folks okay? #
