Say it ain’t so
The Phantom Notebooks is down. I sure hope it is just temporary. One of the few must reads in magic.
I doubly hope it’s not the result of legal threats due to his outspoken nature.
You know Mule that you always have a forum avaulable here if you need it.
Take care………

In the Christmas Spirit
I apologize for taking space on a magic blog for this commentary, but it relates to what, I believe, is the major problem facing our country – corporate corruption. Every issue we have either pales in comparison or is caused by it.
As a former corporate animal, I saw it coming – the bad guys were taking over and accountability and fairness went totally out the window. Don’t for a minute think that lame attempts by our government, such as Sarbanes – Oxley, to legislate honesty has a prayer – it only creates paperwork and the appearance of honesty which the bad guys use as cover while they steal this country blind.
This whole subprime mess is no surprise. These guys stole billions and are leaving us with the rancid residue. They knew it was coming, but taking care of me me me was their only goal. Oh and you think they are being punished – the head of Merrill Lynch, which lost 5 billion or so, was given 340 million dollars to leave.

IVanish – What was I thinking?!
I guess this is why I should never give a quick impression on a new trick or DVD. I fell victim to the novelty here and failed to realize how bad this really is.
I don’t get too caught up in the safety stuff – I’m tired of warnings, security and other PC concerns, but I would hope a normal thinking person would take the necessary precautions. Those that can’t see the issue are too dumb to live anyway. I believe it’s called Darwin’s Law.
I guess this might be useful for grossing out the local space queens, but those of us that try to maintain a degree of decorum and dignity in our shows will find it useless.
This may tarnish Bob Kohler’s reputation for quality products – only time will tell.
Take care………

Why is Bill Gates RICH!!!!
Damn if I know. I’ve been in the process of converting a machine to Vista. What a nightmare.
I spent most of the weekend and today just trying to get it to behave as well as XP. I see No – ABSOLUTELY NO – reason to buy this thing. There are a couple of cool visual effects and it’s a little more intelligent in some processes, but that, in no way, makes up for the incredibly lame security implementations.
By the way, just in case you think the ol’ i/m is crashing a little ahead of schedule, I’m doing this as a learning experience. I have customers that use it and I need to have a working knowledge.
Live like you’re going to die tomorrow. Learn like you’re going to live forever.
Back!
Back from Christmas vacation:
Plenty of cool stuff coming. Don’t miss out.
