Friday Favorites

I know, I know.  There was such an uproar about Netflix that I almost don't want to mention that I still use their services for fear of being tarred and feathered by those who vehemently despised the increase of prices, but my $$ my choice right? Right.  Well todays Friday Favorite is Law and Order: SVU. This past weekend I finished watching all 12 seasons that Netflix has on instant stream.  Trust me this wasn't an easy task.  First of all it is time consuming to say the least, but it is even more so time consuming when you have to take in account you can only watch so many of those episodes at once because they can be rather depressing, morbid, etc.  

While there are cheesy one-liners and a lack of a plot that carries through this is a show that along with the original Law and Order is such a part of our pop culture.

It is even more important because as my sister and I were just talking about part of our memory of our childhood visit to my grandmother's consisted of hearing the credits of Law and Order.  even to this day when I visit I can be certain Law and Order will be on.  So I kinda feel like watching all of these episodes is a homage to my grandmother and those childhood memories.  

Is there a show that you have seen every episode of?

It looks like this weekend will be a great weekend to stay bundled up inside.

Happy Friday!

We all know I love my iPhone.  I am also quite enamored with my Mac. I think the fact that so many all over the globe showed love for Steve Jobs after his passing yesterday is the testament to his greatness.  

Everyone has always used the word VISIONARY to describe him and he truly is.  However, so many people can imagine what the future may hold, yet Jobs reached out and created it.  I'm telling you some day we will all use Jetpacks to get from one place to another, but as someone who probably should have failed physics ( and nearly geometry) I would never go out and create this.  Jobs did.  He took his visions and created amazing products that many of us couldn't have even dreamed about.  More importantly his influence and strides that he took with these products will just continue to spur other advances.

One thing I do wish is that medical advances were on par with technological advances.  The two are closely tied together.  So many people mentioned yesterday that they wanted to go out and get the new iPhone to support Jobs.  Imagine how much it would help if everyone chipped in that money to research Pancreatic cancer (or another cause close to their heart).

Steve Jobs is one of those people who honestly made the world a brighter place than it was before him.  Hopefully his family can find peace in knowing how beloved he was.

There is a little website, Pinterest.  Seems simple enough, innocent enough, but that is misleading.  Pinterest  is addictive. On this piece of internet fun you can "pin" all of your favorite things.  You can also "repin" other people's favorite things.  Life is good on Pinterest, well until you realize time has slipped by.  It is a good time killer though.  You can pin things like:

How glorious.  Do you pin?  -if so-  What do you pin?  If you don't pin already you can request an invite from them or email me and Ill send you one.  

Pin away.

Happy Friday
