My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

April Fool !!!



In Dublin, California a new call center lie detecting software called SMART Assured Self Service (SMART ASS) solution has been introduced. The new software intercepts customers who lie to call center representatives cutting down on wasted calls, man hours and overtaxed equipment.
In fact, when SMART ASS catches a customer in a lie (or call center representative) an automated voice blurts out "You can't handle the truth!" This proprietary software has saved Fortune 500 companies from across the nation hundreds of thousands of dollars in wasted calls.

Well, it's been a long time coming and a lot of planning from around the world, but today at 11:59 am UTC the Internet will be rebooted. So, set your clock and reboot your system exactly on time.
If you don't do it, your ISP will do this for you. Expect your system to be down for one minute or perhaps longer. This worldwide blackout of the Internet will help restore order as many connections have gotten sluggish over time and this will aid in speeding up your connections.

In Switzerland tourism is something they take seriously along with watches, cheese and chocolate. What very few people realize is that there is a dedicated team of Swiss mountain cleaners who keep the bird poop, dirt, dust and grime off of the Alps and all of the other mountains in Switzerland.

These Swiss mountain cleaners are armed with brooms, mountain climbing equipment, water, cleaners, rope, helmets and are lead by the watchful eyes of the team leader. The mountain cleaners will scale the rocky cliffs to where the reported bird poop lay and clean it off quickly.
They may even pull out their ropes and floss a crevice or two. And upon each peak of the mountain they will pull out a ShamWow and give a good polish to the top.


In a stunning and unexpected move, American Airlines has just announced that they will replace transatlantic service from the U. S. with zero emission zeppelins. The AA zeppelins will be completely solar powered and are manufactured from recycled parts meaning a low carbon footprint as well.
The LZ-2 airships as they are being called involve 25 years of development by Boeing and its partner company. The maiden flight of the American Airlines zeppelin was from New York to Helsinki, Finland and it was made without incident.
The AA zeppelin is considered a luxury airliner as it has a restaurant, bar and 18-hole Frisbee golf course. Oh, the humanity!

 Wonder where she bought that t-shirt ?
