I got Windows 7 installed and I’m using it on my main computer. I know, ‘Ill advised’ … However I recently did a clean install of XP on it and I’m planning on getting a new one in the next several months, so another clean install was no big idea. And I’ll keep everything backed up while I try 7.

So my thoughts are initially … very impressive …

The look and feel are really amazing, and the colors and everything look great. I don’t think it’s too much faster or slower than XP was, I can’t tell a difference.

One cool thing is the post it notes that you can have around, like in the picture above. Small things sometimes make a big difference.

Well, I’ll let you know as it unfolds …

John Reese in his last blog post shared some really great wisdom about goal achievement.

I used to get his monthly newsletter which cost about $100/mo and it was worth it, in part because of the knowledge he has and the way he is able to talk about it.

He says that you can get anything done in 24 hours, and by that he means that you can make progress towards your goal in a day. And that the key to getting it done is doing something every day towards your goals. Very worthwhile read.

You are probably thinking I’m nuts for posting my product key for Windows 7. But in fact this key has already been printed on another blog and it appears Windows 7 keys can be used multiple times.

And mind you, I have a key that I’m not going to share, just in case

If you have no interest in Microsoft or Windows 7 or feel burned by past products, then sorry for the intrusion. I’m done talking about it though if I can finally get the download to work I might share my thoughts on how it goes.

To follow along in the saga yourself join the feed at Microsoft’s blog.

I’m excited to tell you that I’m getting Adobe Web Premium CS3 today, yes that’s right, I’m one release behind But I’m not ashamed, I got started with CS2 and I can’t wait to try the new package.

Adobe products are the best I know to create awesome graphics and integrate them easily with my websites and themes. When I release the new MotherTheme later this month I’ll be giving you some new looks for MotherTheme also, using my new software

Where’s Fedex anyway?

Right now we have two very different platforms. On economics? On Healthcare? On education?

How about going back to basics, to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. Or how about just starting with “Life”.

Obama is, on the one hand, the most radical pro-abortion candidate our nation has ever seen. He has promised to pass the FOCA as soon as he gets into office. This will remove the protections that have been entered into law for the unborn, since before the act.

Why exactly does he want to remove the little protections that still exist for unborn babies?

Great question …

Plus, his voting record is starkly cold. Every time he had a chance to protect any kind of rights for the unborn (I mean rights that DIRECTLY apply to the unborn … not for the ones who do manage to be wanted at birth) he has failed to provide any protection at all. He doesn’t even want to provide healthcare to babies that survive an abortion. Those babies just get put onto a table to die slowly. Nice touch.

OK, let’s get real. In a country that boasts the greatest level of wealth and technology in the world, we are failing miserably in this one thing, that’s so foundational. It’s about LIFE.

Watch this video created by Eduardo Verastegui, the mexican actor who was also the star actor in the movie Bella: DuraRealidad.com

On the other hand, McCain/Palin is the most pro-life platform ever to hit the national election stage. For me, it’s not a hard choice. I mean lets put LIFE on one side of the scale and THE ECONOMY on the other. No contest.

Does that mean we ignore the other issues?

No, of course not, they are also important.

But if we elect Obama, we are going to see a big increase in the biggest holocaust the world has ever seen. 40,000,000 babies aborted since 1970. Yes, 40 MILLION.

Come on, vote for what REALLY counts.
