I’m not convinced in the Thawte – Email Certs. I’ve never been convinced of Verisign either. The concept is good, if you can back it with confidentiality and a solid basis of proof.
Unfortunately, after reading Thawte’s Terms of Use for the Personal Email Certs alone, I have no confidence in the Certification or Digital Signature Guarantee that they’re trying to represent. For one, they are regulated by themselves, not the government or any authority in anyway, accredited or regulated by any higher authority. Don’t get me wrong…that isn’t always a bad thing, but it helps to build confidence. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, Tim’s car survived the trip to Arizona and going strong. The AC is working and he’s plugging around now everyday seeking a good job. Many opportunities have come to him and now he’s out pursuing leads. He has a job with a friend of the family while he searches for full-time employment, so that was a blessing right from the start.
Everywhere he goes the Lord opens the doors for new opportunities. Just like this morning, we went to Denny’s and they have some job openings. Tim was really friendly and hit it off with our waitress (a 1st time proud grandma from California). He mentioned wanting to apply for the position and she gave him a few tips on applying for a Server or Host position…that’s where the money is she hinted. She liked Tim so much she pulled the manager..that does the hiring…over to meet Tim and share a little about how he’s an MMI student from CA and is looking for work. Gave him a good edge.
It just Amazes me how the Lord brings situations to you. Tim’s applying at quite a few places and some places aren’t hiring and some are completely interested in him. So the Lord is giving him choices. We’ll see what Tim ultimately chooses to do. The Lord is Good and I’m excited to see Tim doing well.
Mark & Kelley have been really great with Tim too. Mark took Tim to his church Sunday and Tim is already getting to know new people and being the outgoing and friendly guy he is. I just pray the Lord brings a few special friends his way that are encouragement to him and that he can encourage too. Tim’s a great guy.
It was funny that Tim was even mistaken as being Mark’s son at one point in the night. They both got a good laugh about that one. Guess it’s the Bowman traits showing through.
The Lord will bless Mark and Tim through this special time in both their lives and all of our lives.
Goooooo Timmmmm!!!! I’m proud of you. Love ya… Mom
Have you ever felt the gripping feeling of loneliness? I’m not talking about the feeling when you’re home alone for a brief time or taking time alone to pamper yourself or just to have quiet time to allow your thoughts to slow down. I’m talking about the loneliness that overwelms you even when you’re amongst other people. When you feel like your existence doesn’t really matter. The feeling that If you were gone from this Earth, no one would really miss you, not even your loved ones because they’re busy with their lives. Read the rest of this entry »
Have you heard about Ooma’s “Hub & Scouts” and/or Panasonic’s “Globarange” Phones? They both have similar technology as far as being VOIP phones, offering Free Unlimited Domestic phone calls, and International phone calls for around $.02 per minute or so. If you really dig into what they’re all about you’ll see there are definitely major differences between the two. Read the rest of this entry »
Social Bookmarking explained so even I can understand it.
Social Bookmarking is an intriguing concept. Most bloggers and teenagers already know what this is. For the average computer user like you and I, if someone mentions a term like this, you find yourself drift off into a blank stare, as you robotically nod or say uh huh, pretending to convince the person you completely understand what was said. Of course, we’re clueless, but there’s no way we’ll give off the appearance of that. Guess what…they know we don’t know. So we might as well be forthright and say, “What is that anyway?”
You must get in on the Social Bookmarking. You’ll not only educate yourself, but you’ll impress your friends too.
If you’re a visual learner type person, then you have to view this YouTube video explaining Social Bookmarking in a creatively unique way, that anyone can understand it. I love the video personally. It’s a little “Napoleon Dynamitish” in presentation…if you know that movie. You’ll enjoy the instruction video in its simplicity.
Ebay auctions actually form a “binding contract” between two people, according to Judge Nigel Rein. At least in Australia for now.
A man was trying to sell his antique airplane using an eBay auction, completed the auction and then decided he’d sell it to a different private buyer that offered more money than the final bid ended at. Well the winner of the auction, being an airplane enthusiast and collector, decided to take the seller to court, in hopes that the courts would make him honor the auction price and sell it to him. The New South Wales state Supreme Court Judge ordered the seller to complete the deal he started on eBay. The Judge ruled that the online auction was “legally binding” between the buyer and seller.

Will Bloggers receive legal protection like “Real” Journalists? Looks like Congress is pushing to make it so. They’ve made some new revisions here lately to the Federal Shield Law or using the actual name, “Free Flow of Information Act of 2007,” that just might provide the protections of “Journalism” to bloggers too.
