Fact of the day: Today is the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. An interesting fact brought to me by Garrison Keillor: "When nurses arrived for morning duty they found hundreds of injured men all over the base. The nurses ran around, administering morphine, and to prevent overdoses, they wrote the letter M on each treated man's forehead."

Today is also actress, Ellen Burstyn's birthday and the anniversary of Delaware becoming the first state (Hi, I'm in Delaware).

Also today in history was the first time an instant replay was ever used. It was used for an Arm-Navy game. Let's all take a moment to thank CBS for making televised sporting events take 4 times as long as the actual game.

And in 1996, Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart" reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there until February 1997. It's no wonder it was on top for so long, with inspiring and deep lyrics like these: "un-cry these tears, I've cried so many nights" and "unbreak my heart, sweet darling, without you I just can't go on."

Woot off in progress today! Feel free to go buy me gadgets! Link

In leiu of the song of the moment, I bring you Uncle Steve.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
