Life is Ever Changing….

I’ve had a few life changing experiences last year, that was mostly negative. This year so far I’ve made some good changes like I’m exercising more and now I do not eat meat….. What?????? No Meat? Yea, I’m now a vegetarian…I started about a month ago eating less and less meat until I stopped eating it all together. That means no Chicken, Beef, Pork, or Seafood….. I’m not totally vegan, because I still like to eat some dairy products like different cheeses and buttermilk. I’ve never been one fond of Milk or eggs, so that’s good I guess.  So far I feel 10 times better and I have more energy too. Why did I switch? It’s mostly because of health reasons,  trying to get on track with staying healthy and eating right. When I switched I also gave up junk foods, sugary foods, and sodas. It’s been a long process, but I know in the end it will be the best for me.

MicroY!

As everyone in the tech community now knows, Microsoft has offered to buy the search engine company Yahoo for $44.6bn  in cash and shares.  How would this effect the tech market with only having two big Companies like Microsoft/Yahoo and Google. How will it effect some of Yahoo best services like flickr, upcoming, del.icio.us, etc. We’ll have to wait and see…. but I think it’s a bad move if Yahoo accepts, since Microsoft does have a bad rap for trying to Monopolize and take over the tech industry.
