“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Keeping It Old Skool: The Little Professor

I'm still in the process of putting together my regular segments on my blog and have decided to start a series on technology from our younger years. So to start this week's Monday segment of "Keeping it Old Skool," I bring you The Little Professor.  Oh yes,  I remember playing with this calculator as a child and losing all the time.  I hated the damn Professor.  Just kidding, I liked him, but those hard levels.. geez.  The calculator was not like a regular one, instead this one suggested math problems for you that could be solved through multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction.  I believe it came with some cards or a booklet and you were to solve the problems; if it was correct, you were awarded points which were shown on the red led display.

Check out the video, it's classic :-)

What's hilarious is even I had TI calculators when I was in high school too. It was like the TI 2300 or something ;). It was a requirement, which is probably why my math skills now suck in the real world without one. Damn you Texas School System!
