Global Warming:
Some people think that it would be too expensive to do something about global warming until we are 110% sure that the warming is being caused by human activity. I think that the balance of risks is too great to wait that long, and I have summed it up in two lines:

Doing something risks money
Doing nothing risks the planet
Think that says it all? Then get the word out by putting it on your ride! The bumper sticker is available from Zazzle.com.

Patent GrabberTM 5.3 (for Mac OS X and Windows)

Patent Grabber 5.3 for Mac OS X and Windows is now available.  The Mac OS X version fixes the incompatibility with Leopard 10.5.2. The Windows version adds the ability to combine all the pages of a patent or application into a single PDF file using two free helper applications.

Intel Macs: no incompatibilities have been reported for either ChecksQuick or Patent Grabber.

I offer Online Purchasing through The Kagi Store's Secure Server or Regular Server. Download software, and if you like it, come back here and purchase a license using a major credit card, check or even cash. If you don't know whether your browser supports secure transactions, try the Secure Server first. If it does not work, then try the Regular Server. I personally do not see your credit card information. Everything is handled by The Kagi Store. If you want information about Kagi before you entrust your credit card number to them, visit their site at www.kagi.com.

Were you ever a fan of singer/songwriter Al Stewart, but have lost track of him since the days of his Platinum albums, "Year of the Cat" and "Time Passages"? Well, Al is alive and well, and still performing; and has done some great albums since Time Passages. Check out his official web site for more information.

Do you like the "Philly Sound" of the late 50's and early 60's? If so, check out the web site of Melron Records and listen to song samples in MP3 format. You can also download three full length MP3's! All songs are Melron originals from that era. Includes Pop and R&B sounds. All songs can be purchased from Apple's iTunes Music Store.
