What an amazingly well-spoken young man. His father would be very proud of this interview.
I never go a day without telling my kids I love them.

Babble Soft, an Austin, TX based company, has teamed up with EmailOurMilitary to provide free accounts for Military Active Duty Dads this Father’s Day.
I like Babble Soft – I wish they were around 17-19 years ago when my kids were born. I first learned of them just about a year ago, and they have been very kind and friendly.
And I love EmailOurMiltary – an organization that makes it easy for anyone to get involved directly with service men and women on deployment. They offer a ton of value for our servicemen and women, and even more value to those who feel as if they should be doing something more to support our troops.
So if you are a young military parent go check this out – what a wonderful way to allow our troops to follow the lives of our youngest Patriots – and to see their children grow – no matter where they are.
Father’s Day is this weekend, June 15! I’d like to wish all the fathers out here a very happy Father’s Day filled with love and laughter. I’d also like to extend an invitation for new dads to try Babble Soft’s baby applications.
Times have changed. Now more than ever before, fathers are taking an increasingly hands on approach in the care and nurturing of their children, especially while they’re little.
For all those new military dads who can’t be there when their babies are born or who’ll have to ship out soon after, we’re proud to partner with BabbleSoft.com to offer FREE subscriptions to their applications. These applications are a great way to stay connected with your baby back home and keep up with its routine.

Kind of scary to think your Router or even Firewall may actually be a cheap PRC knock-off - even if it says CISCO all over it!
Even more scary - it could be a Trojan Horse.
I wrote a short story a few years ago about an enemy state using just this mechanism to disrupt communications during a crisis.
Be careful if you are buying networking gear off of eBay - you may be getting more (or less) than you think you are!
SAN FRANCISCO Counterfeit products are a routine threat for the electronics industry. However, the more sinister specter of an electronic Trojan horse, lurking in the circuitry of a computer or a network router and allowing attackers clandestine access or control, was raised again recently by the F.B.I. and the Pentagon. The new law enforcement and national security concerns were prompted by Operation Cisco Raider, which has led to 15 criminal cases involving counterfeit products bought in part by military agencies, military contractors and electric power companies in the United States. Over the two-year operation, 36 search warrants have been executed, resulting in the discovery of 3,500 counterfeit Cisco network components with an estimated retail value of more than $3.5 million, the F.B.I. said in a statement.

At least according to this new Forbes report (link below).
We’re pretty fortunate - a lot of our jobs are Military related, our housing values have continued to rise while most of the rest of the nation is falling, and we are the host city to many large company headquarters (ATT, USAA, etc).
Nationally, home prices are falling, unemployment is on the rise and the economy is expected to grow slowly–or even contract–in the first half of the year.
But some cities are doing just fine.
Take Oklahoma City, Okla. With falling unemployment, one of the country’s strongest housing markets, and solid growth in agriculture, energy and manufacturing, it looks best positioned among the nation’s largest metropolitan areas to ride out the current crisis.
San Antonio is right behind. It also features solid employment figures and affordable home prices that continue to rise. Its industries are growing; it can’t hurt that the new AT&T (nyse: T - news - people ) was formed when San Antonio-based SBC Communications swallowed the old AT&T Corp. and BellSouth.

A lot of Veterans are upset by the new Time cover image. Some Veterans are overtly hostile about.
Taking an iconic image of sacrifice and determination and using it for pure publicity is poor taste, to me.
But I am not bent out of shape over it. Even though it is the image the US Marine Corp War Memorial is based on.
I can understand why some people are upset though.
