Walking Honestly

The man dubbed "The Last Honest Man In Worcester" by Jeff of Wormtowntaxi.com and other fellow bloggers in Worcester, I happened to have spotted The Man walking on Main Street and snapped this picture while I was waiting at the light.

I was trying to read his sign, but couldn't because he was spinning it
on some homemade rotational device! Props for creativity!

Walk GOOD Honest Man!

What are the judge and the jury thinking by awarding the RIAA a lawsuit win for $1.92 million?

Yes, what Jammie Thomas-Rasset did was illegal, she downloaded 24 songs through the peer-to-peer website Kazaa, she should have taken that settlement deal way back when it was offered at the price of $3,000.

Jovan Roseboro: A Walk By Faith

When people are presented with a challenge they either one: run away, or two: use all their God-given skills and ability to go over, around, under or through the road block.

Jovan Roseboro chose to do some walking and his Moratorium On Selfishness Walk took him from Fayetteville, North Carolina to the Nation's Capitol-- Washington, D.C..

Jovan started walking from Fayetteville, NC on Thursday, April 23, 2009 and reached the Capitol steps on Monday, May 18, 2009.

Here's a snippet of the forthcoming documentary entitled "A Walk By Faith".

Technology: Does Age Matter?

According to the research done by AdMob, it does!

More Than 40 Percent of iPhone and iPod touch Users Access the Internet More Frequently From Their Mobile Device Than From a Computer.


This quote alone should tell anyone that is in the publication business or in the process of starting a business, if you're not on the Internet, you're already 20 steps behind.

Some additional data:

Highlights from this new research include:

* iPhone users are generally older. 69 percent of iPod touch users are between 13-24 years of age, while this same age segment represents just 26 percent of iPhone users. 31 percent of iPhone users are 35-49 years old, while only 12 percent of iPod touch users fall in this age segment. In total, 74 percent of iPhone users are over the age of 25, compared to 31 percent of iPod touch users.
* More than 70 percent of users on both the iPhone and iPod touch are male.
* In line with the older demographic composition of iPhone users, they also have higher incomes. 78 percent of iPhone users have an annual household income of at least $25,000, compared to only 66 percent of iPod touch users.
* iPhone users are more likely to have children than iPod touch users, most likely due to the age difference in the two groups. 46 percent of iPhone users have children, compared to only 28 percent of iPod touch users.
* In the next six months, iPhone users plan to purchase clothing (57 percent), entertainment (47 percent), and travel (45 percent), while iPod touch users plan to purchase clothing (61 percent), entertainment (53 percent), and cell phones (36 percent).
