Posting the following quote here could be misconstrued as supporting the movement of the man who made the original statement. I chose to post the quote as a reminder of the terrible power of those who understand true meaning of the statement.

“The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Hermann Goering, before being sentenced to death at Nuremberg.

I’ve decided to set up Google AdSense for Blackbird e-Solutions and you will probably notice there are now ads on my blog. Since Blogger is now part of Google, there is an option to add AdSense. So, I thought I’d check it out. Since I do part time work for Google, I had to get approval to have an account. They are worried that people that work for them have an unfair advantage, but I don’t do anything with the ad system so the approval was not a problem.

I’m actually impressed with how well the ads fit into the page. I don’t find them very disruptive at all. Anyway, hope no one else is disturbed by them. Feel free to leave your opinion in a comment.

If you want to check out AdSense, click on the button on the bottow right of the page next the blogger button. It’s free to sign up.

A colleague of mine told me about an interesting site today. If you were ever wondering how much the US government is really spending, and how big the debt is.. Check out the link below:

US National Debt

My involvement in the project at the US Military base is pretty much dead. The head of the US called me, last week I guess it was, and asked me if I had done anything about getting on the project, and if I had heard anything new. “I told him I don’t really think it is going to happen.” He responded. “Uh, why did you hear something from the guys in Germany?” So, I broke it down for him:

The project lead won’t respond to anyone.
The contacts from the customer that she gave didn’t respond to my email.
I would need to get security clearance to work on the project, which isn’t like getting your drivers License. It takes a while.
The project has already started.

So, he says, “Oh well, we’ll keep you busy. We’re sending you to Nampa, Idaho. Home of the world’s biggest rodeo.”

Uh great….

So, on to Nampa. Because I’m now going to have to go to Germany for an appointment with M’ I will miss the first week of the time in Nampa. I thought we were supposed to go Feb. 5th, but apparently we were supposed to be there the 29th. M and I have an appointment on the 31.

Guess, I’m going to miss the rodeo after all…
