Hmmm. How many before it's considered a trend?

Ex-NBA star Sprewell sells yacht, home could be foreclosed

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3241444

According to this story, Latrell Sprewell has been missing mortgage payments, has his house being foreclosed and had to sell his yacht. All this after having turned down an offer of $21M a year, at a time when he was making approximately $14M a year.

I'm pretty confident in voicing what I believe is the obvious question - "Latrell Sprewell had a yacht?"

It dawns on me - as I was being shuttled in from my auto shop this morning, where I can watch the scenery and bldg's go by, rather than spend my driving time attempting to divine which lane and direction the driver in front of me is threatening - that, had I a choice in my formative years, I would not have sought guidance from medical professionals who had set up their practice in a location called "Medical Arts".

I think I would have more confidence and therefore less stress in entering the "Medical Science" bldg, or "Medical Professionals", "Medical Experts" or if you insist on a leap of vague, how about "Medical Miracles".

Other less-inspiring office labels ...
- Medical Hunches
- Medical Journeys
- Medical Hut/Mart/Stop
- Fox Medical TV
- Medical Oddities
- and of course, Medical Schmedical

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the first time around, it was called a Pacer.

An Open Letter to Adobe


An Open Letter to Adobe
Originally uploaded by Lao Er
Dear Adobe, I feel compelled to respond to your kind regrets at the inconvenience you have caused by having to unexpectedly close due to unspecified software complications. I sincerely hope you find yourself in a position to return in the near future as we have so much more in front of us, you and I.

Despite our travails, I persist - nay thrive - on the promise of a rewarding future. Perhaps buoyed by your constant pursuit of perfection through your many upgrades - admittedly much more subtle in result and substance, than convenience. Perhaps, more so in resignation at your market dominance and reluctance to part ways for the sake of the files we've shared.

Regardless, I will wait patiently for the fleeting moments, upon which you choose to grace us with your presence and partial stability.

Sincerely yours
