Happy Thanks Giving
We at ms mac do have a feeling of guilt and a lack of justification for liking thanksgiving so much. It is a celebration of conquering a continent of indigenous people. But turkey and pie! Plus that whole neat gratitude stuff. (And if anyone can give me a really good way to try and redress that wrong as well I would be happy to look into it.)
At this time ms mac is grateful for a lot. We’re thankful for the life we have, the support and coolness of the people in our lives and the daily luxury and privilege to be concerned with social justice. We’re grateful for clean water, roofs over our heads, the internet and the short work week. Mostly we’re grateful for a business that has struggled but made it through the last 10 years of recession and economic strife we have all been hit with. Thanks to everyone who uses and supports our service. Happy Thanks Giving.
What IT means.
IT Stands for Information Technology. This is something that is not so well remembered; that computers are all about storing, holding, accessing, compiling, cross-referencing, sharing and creating information so it will always be where it is suppose to be. It is the outgrowth of civilization and libraries. It’s about finding the next best way to contain information for mass sharing and support. It’s about figuring out how to keep enough copies of the books that contain what we know so that another despot can’t come burn it all up in a rampage. This bill opens the doors to rampage. http://americancensorship.org/
And technology is restored.
I was pretty shocked to get home last night and find that my internet had been turned back on. I’m guessing someone was working on the box junction and pulled the wrong plug because I’ve never had verizon fix their problems this fast. I have service fromAce Innovative Networks, whom I reccommend, but it goes over verizon lines yadda yadda yadda.
