In the final minutes of August 13th, 2010, I decided to finish this blog post talking about Triskaidekaphobia. This is the fear of the number 13. Since this is Friday the 13th, which is also known as paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia (The term was first used by I.H. Coriat in “Abnormal Psychology”), I found it an interesting thing to write about. Obliviously this has nothing to do with WordPress but it’s something I find interesting.

Jailhouse breaking an iPhone and unlocking cell phones now legal

Don’t like your cell phone service provider but love your phone? (iPhone for Verizon?)
Ok, so an iPhone on Verizon’s network is going to need a little more love than just jailbreaking it but at least this is a step in the right direction. For those of us who want the ability to choose a service provider by their network and not worry about having a phone to fit ours need, has just received a nice gift from the FCC. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has ruled jailbreaking an iPhone or rooting any phone for that matter is completely legal. Jailbroken iPhones are often used to operate on different cell phone service providers or install and run unauthorized third party applications. Although it was previously and technically illegal to jailbreak an iPhone, it’s estimated that over a million iPhone have been jailbroken and no charges have been filed or charges pressed.

My family and I made it to New Orleans mid evening yesterday after an easy drive through six states. Our son, Cash did a great job and was very entertaining during our whole trip.
Today is Father’s Day 2010
This is my second Father’s Day and I can tell you that it only keeps getting better. I’ve been blessed with an amazing son who loves me so much and I love him more than anything. My son and wife make being a father a breeze because of all the joy they bring into my life and the love I receive from them everyday. They have given me the motivation, encouragement, and drive to work hard, love passionately, and be thankful for everything we have earned together as a family. Continue Reading
This isn’t my typical blog post or topic but since this is hot news locally for me, I just couldn’t resist blogging about it.
The infamous “King of Kings” statue, also known as Touchdown Jesus or Big Butter Jesus (named by Heywood Banks) was destroyed by a lightning strike and fire on June 14, 2010. A prominent 62 foot statue of Jesus, seemingly rising up from the water surrounding the 4000+ member Solid Rock Church (Christian) was very symbolic for some of the daily commuters on I-75 near Cincinnati, Ohio. It was difficult to pass without looking over to gaze at it’s immense size and bold statement. Continue Reading

Think of a Strong Password
This is the simplest way to effectively secure anything online and yet a secure password is the most neglected. When thinking our your password, try to come up with something that is strong and unique. Avoid using common words and phrases. WordPress will tell you the strength of your password as you are typing it. Use upper and lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation. It’s also a great idea to change your password at least ever 6 months.

Ok, I just had my mind blown away. I am reading about quantum mechanics and the observer problem that occurs on the sub atomic scale. And I began to think about the question, “If a tree falls and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?” However, because of the observer problem in quantum mechanics we can never be sure that the tree has even fallen. The simple solution is to check that the tree is in fact lying horizontal in a rested prone position. But, now the tree has been observed, which will remove it from waves of possibilities into a state of lying at rest. Therefore, the tree has both not made a sound, and at the same time, made a sound. Assuming, of course, it did actually fall. But again, neither can be measured until someone is there to observe it which will always result in a single conclusion.
If that is still confusing you, think about this. Do you know what state this Note was in before you checked it? No, you don’t. Why? Because you hadn’t observed it yet. What happens to this Note when you leave this page? You don’t know…at least not for sure. Therefore, this Note will be in all of it’s possible states at the same time…that is until you return to the page. It will then collapse to one of its possible states.
