Kidologist NEW Blog Goes Live!

Here it is! I’ve been bloggin’ since March 1, 2005, and have been overdue to redesign this site and add more functionality for quite a while. The artwork on this site (and my new brochure, business card and letterhead) was done by the creative team over at Timbuktoons and this WordPress blog was themed to match by a firm they recommended, PowerServe. I would highly recommend both of these firms for excellence in work and ease of product management and speed! Until we get the archives moved over, you can access the old blog here. Be the first to use the Comments and let me know what you think! (no more required Blogger account!)

It Pays to Be Patient?

I just bought a few books on Amazon and when looking at my 1-Click account settings, I noticed a link to Wish List. I click on it and found that on September 21, 2004 (my brother’s birthday!) I had put a really nice digital camera on my wish list…. for $899.95! I wondered, of course, if the camera is still available to purchase, so I clicked on the link, and discovered that INDEED it still is: But for only $195.00! See, by being patient and waiting three years, I can get this amazing 2.1 MEGA pixel digital camera with a 10x optical zoom lens that uses outdated SmartMedia and is ten times bigger than today’s cameras with less features and save hundreds of dollars! Actually, I did buy this camera, just not from Amazon, and got tons of use out of it for several years, and still use it for still photograhy because it takes amazing pictures and with the optical large lens you get more light and faster shutter speeds, which makes it ideal for large indoor pictures (such as Kid U events) and fast moving images. The Point: Yes, technology is expensive when it is new, and costs…

Freedom is not Popular

Having been to fourteen other countries in Europe, Asia and Central America, I have the right to say that not only am I glad to be an American – PROUD TO BE AMERICAN – but I have the perspective to say that we are lucky to be Americans! Unless you are an immigrant – you are an American because you were born here and THANK GOD for that blessing! There truly is no better place on earth and may I say I am sick and tired of people, especially politicians and news reporters who talk like WE are the scourge of the earth and deserve every bad thing that happens to us. If we are hated, it is because we are better, and we ought to be proud of what makes us better, not make excuses for those who seek to destroy us. I’m not saying we are perfect, but we are not only #1 in the world in freedom and opportunity, we are #2 and #3 and #4 as well. Their is hardly a runner up in what America offers its people. It is no mystery why we have enemies – but it is because we are good, but…
