AFNBroadcaster & Friends Weight Loss 2009

I just started a new group on Facebook called AFNBroadcaster & Friends Weight Loss 2009. I hope this will be a fun and motivating method to keep me and anyone else who wants to regain physical control of their waist, or body fat, or whatever this year. Please join the group. If you don't already have a facebook account...maybe you should get one of those too! You can also follow me on Twitter.

Happy New Years!

Santa 2.0

Found this on the internet and it made me laugh! So I had to share! Merry Christmas! Still looking for something to buy? Check out my Green Christmas ideas!

Super Connected...Not Really...and...IT Defined

I'm sitting here right now with four different social media sites open, blogging on what I think is an open-source program; while listening to free streaming audio on Grooveshark. (Adele...Shelly's current fav!) I've already made four hyperlinks...five now! This morning I started off by catching up on my 30 RSS feeds...find out I'm not the only one suffering from a GMAIL slow down...and I start feeling sad! (Maybe it's because my oldest son isn't home) I realize although I'm somewhat super connected, I'm no where near as smart as I should be after spending countless hours on the internet. I guess I rely too much on my IT friends. (And my oldest son!) What would we do...err what would I do with out them. THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Turns out, IT has always been there to help people like me!

Make sure you take a few minutes to thank your local IT!

Suburbia...Smooth E Style

Smooth E is a very funny comedian! He has produced several viral video's and I think once had the hottest vid on the net. Something like 10 trillion hits. I don't know...sometimes I make numbers up. Anyway, I like Smooth E, not only is he funny, but he is also generous! He produced several audio packages for use on Freedom Radio (page hasn't been updated in a long time) a couple of years ago. Anyway...he's done it again. And although the song he has made his own is one of my favorites...I think he once again did a great job! For you to enjoy:

Iraqi Medical Center Goes Green

In a country where four-six hours of continuous power is rare, The Ameriya Clinic in Baghdad now has continuous power. It's source...SOLAR power. Why doesn't the entire Middle East use solar? Everytime I've been in Iraq it has been hot and sunny!

Pentagon May Have Mixed Propaganda With Public Affairs

Straight from the Washington Post :

The Pentagon's inspector general said yesterday that the Defense Department's public affairs office may have "inappropriately" merged public affairs and propaganda operations in 2007 and 2008 when it contracted out $1 million in work for a strategic communications plan for use by the military in collaboration with the State Department.

OOPS! My bad! Sorry? We must find a better, legal way to win this information war. Where are all of the military bloggers?
