I found this article on MSNBC.com about the recent attempted auction of the website sex.com.
I was shocked to see that the website sold for 14 million dollars in 2006. It's amazing that a name can have so much value. Unfortunately it seems that the value has dropped considerably as it was estimated to be worth about 6 million now.
The item was pulled from the auction so I guess we will never know what its real value is today.

I found this article on CNN.com about a Nation wide broadband network that will allow 90% of americans to have broadband internet access in their homes.
I had heardabout this and am very excited to see where it goes however it will take until 2020 to complete.
I am anxious for us to have the type of internet that europe has.

Computers can listen
I found this article on CNN.com about the man who teaches google's computers to listen.
The computers at google use the things that other people have typed in to predict what you will say next.
It is very interesting to see how technology is advancing all around us. Every day we are further and further along on the quest for true artificial intelligence.

Headless Vikings
I found this article on CNN.com about a mass grave with the bodies of 51 young viking men who had been beheaded in it.
This is very interesting as these men have been burried for about 1000 years. Its interesting to know that they could tell where they were from by their teeth.

"Many of the executed men suffered multiple wounds, inflicted by a sharp-bladed weapon, to the skull, jaw"
Big power in small packages!
I found this article on CNN.com about a group of researchers at MIT that believe they have discovered a new energy source.
Their goal after discovering this phenomenon is to create an energy source that will take up less space and put out more energy and will last up to 10 times longer.
This could completely revolutionize the micro technology field. Either smaller devices with the same use or same size devices that will do more!

Pentagon shooting.
I found this article on CNN.com about a shooting at the pentagon!
A 36 year old gunman entered the pentagon showing absolutely no emotion on his face and pulled a pistol out on the guards when he was asked for I.
You almost have to wonder if this isn't a new form of suicide, After this and the Ft. Hood incident.
These people must know going in to these situations that they will not make it out alive.
So is this the latest form of suicide sweeping the nation? Lets hope not..

Good times for Americans!
I found this article on CNN.com about rising wages in America today!
This is a good sign when people have money they spend it buying products and services, the more products and services they buy the more demand there is for those products and services thus creating the need for more workers.
The economy is slowly repairing itself and we are beginning to see some good signs of that. Now if we can keep those greedy money hungry fuel companies from killing it again we will be okay.
I may be a simple person but I don't see how a fuel company can say well the reason its getting more expensive is because it costs more to make it!! BS you can't say that and then announce every quarter that you have record breaking profits!

Bad times in Mexico
I found this article on CNN.com about the dangers of visiting Mexico!
The Texas state police are urging colleges and universities to warn their students about the dangers of visiting Mexico during spring break, especially the border towns.
I remember as a small child visiting a border city in Mexico and it didn't seem bad at all we were warned only about pick pockets. Apparently it has become much worse in Juarez alone there were 2600 murders in 2009!
