My mind is reeling with various thoughts of how to rapidly bring in money. Instead of getting fixated on that, I need to bring Quicken to balance, send in my phone rebates, and invoice 1 client. If I accomplish all that, then I can work on new client aquisition.

A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
My cough is worse. I am certain Tommy has not be faking his cough. I hope this ends soon. I could not do a successful phone or in person interview right now to save my life. I run out of money this week and Sarah’s class trip is at the end of the week. This sucks!Got up this morning at 5 when I heard Amy fall out of the bed. Could not pull myself out of bed to help her back into her bed or do anything else until 5:45 when she started crying. Got her in bed and got Sarah up then I went back to bed until 6:15 when I got Noah up and gave Tommy his medicine. Then I went back and blogged Friday and Saturday.
Now off to carpool.

Death to outsourcing! Outsourcing didn’t pay off for Conseco “Insurance firm may be at forefront of trend by bringing jobs moved to India back to U.S.”
Three years ago, when Conseco moved 800 jobs to India, its chief executive was clear that his pioneering outsourcing move was more than just cost-cutting.These days, the insurer also may be a pioneer because it brought most of those jobs back to Indiana.In 2001
CEO Gary Wendt says that buying India-based ExlServices will save Conseco up to $60 million a year and reduce turnover to less than 10 percent a year.In 2002
With turnover in India at 200 percent and cost savings falling short, Wendt’s successor, William J. Shea, sells ExlServices at a $20 million loss.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve even outsourced a project to Russia with success but also with a quick learning about the negative sides. I look forward to my industry (software) maintaining its quality of work and employee salaries by keeping jobs here in the states. -

Vehicle to autonomous biped robot conversion for the Mini Cooper r50.
I first had the vision to build a robot while working as an engineer on the old Mini Coopers in the late 1960s. There were no real robots at the time of course, so it was purely science-fiction. But I always believed a robot would be the most natural complement to the automobile – a full biped, intelligent version having great strength, dexterity and a library of mechanical knowledge. I imagined a robot with the ability to repair vehicles, direct traffic and watch over high-accident crossroads to preempt accidents.The movies are worth a watch -

I understand that the policies are in place to allow for learning environment without distraction. However, ever since the digital watch came out, students have synchronized alarms to disrupt class in jest. Should we ban watches?
The cellphone will continue to shape our society. Already in S. Korea cellphones can be used to buy sodas from vending machines and groceries. So, do we ban cell phones? Or integrate them into the edication system teaching students how to research using WAP and creating opportunies with SMS allowing the student another means of interaction with the teacher?
I want my children to know technology, use it and push it to the limits. I like the idea that one day my daughter may send me a brief text message from school telling me of some significant accomplishment and me being able to send her a hearty congratulations back!
White said she felt that surrendering her phone to school administrators for six weeks – the other option for violation of the school policy – was too severe, so she chose to miss 10 days of school instead.I know our middle school policy is that if a phone comes to school it is removed from the student and the parent must come pick it up. The 2nd offense the school gets to keep the phone. I’m sorry. If I have invested in a phone for my child the school will not sudden de facto own it! -

Mork moved! Careful what you agree to!
Kay Oltmans told the newspaper earlier that year that she never expected the attention – fans almost daily knocking on the door, asking for tours and peering in windows at all hours – when she agreed to let the exterior of the house be filmed.
