New music video

I recently posted a new music video at my sister site. Actually, it has nothing to do with my sister. I hope you enjoy it.

Q & A's from around the web

Do you believe all these female porn stars that say they have high iqs?
For example:
Katie Morgan
Wikipedia: "She claims to have a genius IQ according to internet tests."

Having a high I.Q. doesn't equate to having morals, though. So they may be geniuses, but with all the "creative" things they do on camera for the sack of a buck, do they honestly think it matters how smart they are?

Editors note: At first I thought "for the sack of a buck" was a typo, but then I thought "Hmmm...it does make sense".

Need another reason to hate banks?

On Wednesday, I sat down to do some important online banking. As I tried to get to my bank's website, I got a browser message saying it was unreachable. After a couple more attempts, The familiar green home page appeared. I typed in my password and after an unusually long delay, I got a message indicating some problem and to try again and if it persists, to call the help desk.

After a few more unsuccessful attempts, I called the number listed. I got a busy signal. I figured I wasn't the only one experiencing the problem. Several more calls (and log-in tries) over the next twenty minutes proved unfruitful. I let it go.

About an hour later, there was no indication the problem had occurred. Now, I'm no genius--ok, I am, but it doesn't take a genius to see something wrong with this picture. Rather than advise possibly thousands of clients to try again or phone a line that will either be busy or else unanswerable due to volume and frustrate them further, why not update the log-in error message as soon as they realize there is a widespread problem and indicate NOT to try again and NOT to call the help desk as they are aware of the situation, and possibly give an estimated time to resolution? I'm just sayin'.
