- Well have no fear world, if Jay-Z and Beyonce don't have the parenting thing down, Oprah will be there. According to sources, which lately have been quite unreliable (see: Rob Lowe tweeting Peyton Manning's retirement; PSU newspaper falsely reporting Joe Paterno's death), Oprah Winfrey has been named the Blue Ivy's godmother.
- SEAL Team 6, the same heroic group that took down Osama Bin Laden, were responsible for safely rescuing two hostages from Somalia. The two had been held hostage since October. Talk about heroes.
- Home sales have plummeted. 2011 was reportedly the worst year for new-home purchases. I sure wish we had been one of those who had the opportunity to buy a home, but with a new job for my wife, relocation, having a baby, we had a lot of other things going on. But in the future - hopefully the near future - we'll be in the market. I have a feeling we'll be in Connecticut the rest of our lives. I know a few people think this state sucks, but I enjoy living here. It's not like living in the NYC area is any cheaper or better off for a couple not making $100,000 a year.
- Verizon Wireless has released it's newest version of the Droid Razr. It was probably released a while ago, but I just stumbled upon it. Looks like a pretty sweet phone, however, I plan on converting from Android to iPhone when my upgrade is available.
- With that last point, surveys show 1 in 5 workers use Apple products. If 1 in 5 Americans chose to eat an apple instead of a bag of fries, the country would be a lot healthier. I guarantee this would help the obesity problem plaguing this country.
Have a great Thursday. We're expecting rain and freezing rain here. Awesome.
