Wow, that looks like some fun skiing - and I usually don't head for the trees!

RE the callerid issue - you can choose to have your GV number displayed (helpful if, for instance, more than one person is forwarding a GV number to your landline) or display the number of the originating caller. Not worth changing, I realize, until the transcription improves further, but worth pointing out that this alone needn't be an issue.

It's exciting this event received such a great turnout. We look forward to furthering everyone's interests and opportunities in writing!

Thank you! I missed A Prophet in the list of nominations. Glad you caught it so I could get it fixed so quickly!

And for those who know you who might not have known this already - it explains so much!

When we saw the President's Own Marine Band in Seattle earlier in the month, we all stood proudly as family of a Marine when they got through the songs for all the other branches and started in on the Marines' Hymn.

Thank you for your service and for passing on such a rich legacy!

I love when a kids' movie can be readily enjoyed by adults even without a younger person in tow. Maybe it's just because my own background as a TV weather person, but I loved this movie. It certainly was far deeper than I'd have thought from the trailers and the descriptions.

A free screening of Lives of Others? If you enjoy art films, you'd be crazy not to go. The tall guy and I really liked this one a lot.

What a powerful concept - shift money from the end goal that it has become to be the tool by which we support, grow, and measure much more directly meaningful value.

Thank you, Kris for enlightening us on this matter and thank you TIO for bringing us this information!

It entirely depends on what you mean by "own internet" Can you get computers to talk to one another without using the big telecoms? Absolutely. But to get very many computers to talk to one another, you're probably reproducing some aspect of what they've already created. And if you want access to all the rich content we've come to equate with The Internet, then eventually the bits and bytes will be traveling on at least some part of the big boys' network.

This would be a perfect example of right communications modality for right situation - no extra work here, just making good choices about what's needed - http://www.market7.com/blog/2009/10/29/social-med...
