I just received an email from a cousin that lives in a very rural area of Australia.  I was so surprised to get an email from her!  The last I’d heard from her was by US Mail, and she complained that she lived in such a rural area that she could not get Internet Access!  That news alone was a big shock to me because I’ve had Internet access for such a long time; it seemed to me that she would have had Internet access for a while now too!

Have you ever noticed the Peter Principle at work? Of course you have, you probably just did not know what it was when you were observing it! The Peter Principle is simply this: People get promoted in their jobs until they reach a level of incompetency. That is where they remain.

This is why most of the time we find ourselves dealing with incompetent people in our day to day business. The people have risen to their level of incompetence. If by chance we find someone who does their job well, they have not been promoted enough!

As the information age matures, there will be more demand for domain names and webhosting.  I think it will be very interesting to see how this develops as time goes on.  I know that more people are turning to the Internet for information, research, social networking, and shopping.  I think it is amazing to learn about products and services that a few years ago I would not have known about at all!  The Internet truly does make the world smaller; making so many more things within easy reach to anyone who has a computer and Internet access!

It seems to me that more and more of my friends and acquaintances are interesting in creating their own websites.  It just seems like a good way to get the word out about whatever you are interested in.  Many of the websites are about sharing interests about things like geneaology, or interests like clubs for a type of classic car, or breed of dog.  What a huge variety is out there!

As the Internet grows, there will be more people needing to learn about there webhosting options.  A great place to learn about those options is the webhostinggeeks.com website.  They review and rank many of the leading webhosting services, making it easier for the consumer to decide which service best fits their needs.

My hubby gave me a pair Acorn Slippers yesterday.  The wool slipper socks that are so comfy and warm.  His boss brought them home with him from a business trip to Binghamton New York, where he had stopped in at Hank’s Clothing to say hello to an old friend.  While he was there he bought several pairs of the slippers because they were on sale for a good price.  It’s nice that his boss brings home gifts like that for his staff when he travels! 

 He said that he knew that I had been struggling to keep my feet warm, and with the cold snap we are having, he wanted me to have the slippers.  He said that his friend that works at Hanks recommended them for their warmth and comfort.

My uncle just bought a used audi.  He is thrilled to pieces about it; he’s always wanted an audi but could never afford one.  He came across a cream puff that he just couldn’t pass up.  He’s been telling me that he wants to turbocharge his car because it is supposed to improve performance and increase gas mileage. 

I thought turbo chargers turned cars into “muscle cars” and made them more powerful but decreased gasoline mileage, but my uncle tells me that is not the case at all.  He’s asked me to help him find an audi turbocharger over the Internet, so I’ve been looking around and found a good deal on them at the turbochargerpros.com website.  If you are thinking about turbocharging your car, check them out!
