iTest registration postcards head out in about 30 days to hit schools right at that critical beginning of school year time. And I'm cutting back on physical mailout material (from those nice, big folders from last year) in order to invest in some online advertising that will go out at about the same time and leading into September.

Seattle managed to pull out a win against the Yankees yesterday. Gil Meche has really turned a corner in his development and might be a legitimate #2 starter behind Felix Hernandez. Assuming Felix keeps progressing back to that dominant starter he was a year ago....he's nearly there.

Bush used his first veto of his entire presidency to overrule the stem cell bill?? I would think he'd have something better to use that on than this. I don't particularly want to die to a disease that could've been cured through stem-cell research while these embryos we put up on a pedestal stay intact sitting in some refrigerator somewhere. Thanks, but no thanks. Can we get back to discussing tax reform please, Mr. President?

And in a final note in this blog of random musings, MSNBC reports that more than half of bloggers are under 30 years old. The interconnectivity of our generation is really pretty incredible. For people my age not to be taking advantage of the time we live in, to use any of the various social networking tools at our disposal to express yourself and to stay in communication with friends across the world, is an incredible loss.

And don't give me the complete BS of "I don't want to be out on the internet lest I lose my job." Like I've blogged before, as our technological generation continues to exit school and invades the workforce, that misperception that "social internet presence" = irresponsibility will change completely. On the other hand, I have seen two separate instances of drunk/drug pictures out on the internet costing two different people jobs this week though...putting pictures like that of yourself out on the 'net will probably remain a really stupid thing to do!
