DOGS ARE THE NEW CHILDREN FOR HOME BUYERS

Realtor Djuna Woods of Menlo Park used to take clients looking for a new home on tours of local schools and answer questions about test scores. Now she gives tours of local dog parks and answers questions about which neighborhoods are the most dog friendly. With 39% of US households owning at least one dog and annual spending on pets expected to exceed $40 billion, dogs have become the new children. Dogs now have play dates, day care, hair appointments, spa treatments, personal dog walkers, chauffeurs and clothing boutiques. According to a study conducted by the American Kennel Club, dog ownership heavily influences both lifestyle and purchasing habits. This influence can be clearly seen when dog owners purchase a new home.

Well, after a month hiatus, I've resurrected the site. I had a lot of system issues with my previous provider, so I moved my site. And then I became very busy at work.
But now the site is back up, finally. A little buggy here and there, but it's up

Ryan's Rants: Love my Nokia E61

OK, I'm not one to get all giddy about gadgets, but I gotta tell ya, this Nokia E61 is one neat piece of gear. Well it's more than neat, it's really changed the way I interact with people over the Internet.
I decided to go with an unlocked GSM phone, versus purchasing the locked version of the E61 (called the E62) from Cingular because I wanted a more flexible service plan. Also the E62 has been gutted by Cingular: no WIFI adapter, some other firmware glitches. In fact, the only thing I didn't like about it was it's sluggish performance.
Well with the latest firmware (v3.x), it stable and fast. In fact, it's zippy. I used to envy my Motorola Q bretheren due to their fast interface. Now my trusty E61 competes nicely with other Windows Media 5 smartphones. |
I bought my phone from MyWorldPhone.com and it's a Hong Kong version. I've since re-flashed it using the details on this site:

Ryan's Rants: Term Limits are really stupid

If we have anything to lament, it's not that we have career politicians, but that we have citizens who clearly flunked his/her civics lessons.
Now read this carefully: If we don't like a politician, we are free to vote them out(see civics comment above). Term limits are just plain stupid and irrational and counter to our form of Democracy.
But term limits, I guess, are to be expected when we have an electorate who is self-satisfied with their soda-pop equivalent of a Coke and Pepsi political system. We deserve this lousy government because we allow it. Politicians aren't to blame, we are and term limits are an ironic admission that we can't make reasonable decisions about our self-government.
