Baby boomers, like other groups, need networks. What kinds of networks? Well, consider the “Red Hat Society.” No, I’m not talking about a network of Linux users. It’s a network of women over the age of 55 who get together for fun and various activities. And networking, of course!

I found what is probably the last interview done with George Carlin, for Psychology Today.

“I will build a motor car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest […]
I confess, I have been sliding towards Apple for a long time. I bought an iPod a few years ago, and used iTunes. My old PC/laptop is on its last legs (almost 3 years old), and everyone has been saying “buy a Mac.” I was hesitant until a friend allowed me to […]
