Hall of Shame

So on 9/11 we have to generate fear on the Potomac River in Washington, DC? What were these folks thinking? As if some folks aren’t jumpy enough on this day of remembrance here in DC.

Chill out. Stand down. All is ok and safe and sound.

I enjoyed reading this story. You will too. It mentions something that I do believe. In the future having a great memory - which I think I do - will not be valued as much. Who needs memory when you have Google and unlimited free storage?

We don’t need to store facts in our brains. They are all instantly retrieved. Memories will be in unlimited storage on the web in the clouds somewhere. Our legacies will be left there as well.

I am kind of sad at that notion but am afraid it may be true.

I couldn’t get the streaming version of the Caps vs. Flyers rookie game so I am watching Tarik El-Bashir’s Twitter page for real time updates on the game. Thank goodness for bloggers. Thank goodness for Twitter. Here is his Twitter page. I believe he is also updating it at his blog at WashingtonPost.com, too.

Let Us Never Forget

Here is a great set of films on our collective 9/11 memories. We should never forget the brave and innocent souls that lost their lives on that sad day.

SnagFilms has a virtual theater loaded with important documentaries all themed to 9/11. Bless them all.
