Chocolate for Breakfast?

When did someone decide that chocolate was a good thing to have to breakfast? I have never really paid attention to the chocolate flavored breakfast cereals, although it seems that Coco Puffs have been around since before I was a kid. But now the Poptarts and frozen pastry strudels come in chocolate flavors, too.

The Poptarts have been out for a while, but I guess I never paid that much attention to the variety o flavors. I rarely buy them, and if I do, I buy the strawberry or blueberry filling flavors. I just can’t wrap my head around serving chocolate for breakfast.

DIY Ringtones

Everywhere I go, when people around me get a call, their cell phones are ringing these really cool notes or ringtones that make their phone and even that caller special to them. I really want to have some special songs, too, so I have been listening to a lot of songs and haven’t really found what I want. I’ve been reading lyrics online and listening to clips – but nada.

My brother just got a new iPhone 4 and he told me that by using an iPhone 4 Video Converter he can upload DVDs to his iPhone. I can’t imagine having an entire movie on my phone – how cool is that?

If he knows so much about converting DVDs and videos, I hope he can help me do some simple ringtones on my iPhone. I found an iPhone 4 Ringtone Maker online and it looks easy enough, but I don’t want to mess up anything. If I’m going to jump into this tekkie project, I would fell better having a real life geek sitting next to me to help out if I get stuck.

Think We Should Stop?

signs-of-the-times

Found this photo on a church web site. I just had to share it here. I think they really want you to stop. But then again, people who like to go four-wheeling (not naming any names here!) would just see this as a challenge.

TV Trivia

My generation has always had TV and cable, but my parents did not. I found some interesting trivia on a web site about TV. For example, did you know that although the television set was built and sold as early as 1939, that there were almost no television broadcasting stations because of World War II? Most Americans did not have access to local programming until the 1950’s, so the affluent and middle class did not start buying them for home use until the 1950’s and 1960’s.

Another interesting fact is that in the year 2006, the number of television sets in American homes outnumbered the number of human occupants for the first time. The average American home had  2.73 TV sets but only 2.55 people, and that number of TV sets per home continues to increase.
