They could range from a simple virus to losing all your data. So remember no glove no love. No wait that is advice given for another topic. So you say you want protection, but don't have the money to spend. Well CNET has put together a great page on the best FREE security and spyware software available. I encourage all of you to check it out! Even if you are confident that your PC is protected better then a teenage boy with a condom stuck in his wallet. I confused topics again.

Topix.net

I like to read my local news on the web. The day of getting the Newspaper delivered to my house is over for me. News is free I am not paying for it. One of the web sites I like to use for my local news is Topix.net. I have found the web page easy to navigate. All you have to do is type in the zip code of where you live and the local news appears. What I like about Topix
is the page has global news, forums, blogs, entertainment, sports, - I think you get the idea. In my opinion it is better then Yahoo local news or any Newspaper online like NYTimes or LATimes.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Phillies drive pointing North


I have decided to start rooting for the Yankees. This is not to say that I am still not a Phillies fan. In fact I am very excited about watching all the youngsters play that the Phillies called up. The fact is the Phil's are 14 games out of first place from the Muts. So unless a minor miracle happens the Phillies are not making the playoffs. My thinking is why not root for the Yanks? You can rename the Team Phillies North after recently acquiring Bobby Abreu, Cory Lidle, Sal Fasano, and of course the 3rd base coach for the Yankees Larry Bowa.

So as Bobby Abreu would say go Jankees!
