Now that collaboration software has come a long way, I wonder if script writers will collaborate on movies from all parts of the world. Epazz offerssa 30 Day free trial of their software. The software is so advanced now that it includes group scheduling, business email solutions and secure access. It can even work with current back-end systems. This might be the perfect thing for small to medium size businesses who have offices in different parts of the United States or the world. Since the software can be personalized down to the end-user level it could possibly cut down on production and business costs.

If you heard about SunRocket going out of business recently, they left a lot of customers without phone service. Well, I was one of them. Good thing our internet service wasn’t through them. It is bad enough that I have to keep resetting the Linksys router every time the internet goes down. It would have been a disaster to have to try and scramble for a new internet service. It usually takes 1-2 weeks just to get that set up and rolling. Now we are waiting on our phone numbers to become valid again with the new service.

You might not recognize the name of Ron Miller, but he has penned some famous songs. Ronald Norman Miller was born in 1933 in Chicago and was discovered playing in a bar by Motown founder Berry Gordy.

This song has been recored more than 270 times and is one of the most covered songs. Other songs written by Miller included Touch Me in the Morning (Diana Ross) and I’ve Never Been to Me (Charlene).

Miller passed away on July 23, 2007 in California. He died of cardiac arrest while fighting emphysema and cancer. He left behind his wife of 25 years and six children.

We want to get a new TV. One of those cool flat screens. And it has to be big! The problem is, we would then need a place to put it. I have checked several places (including Bush furniture, Target, Walmart) but can’t yet decide what to purchase. The old TV might have to do for now until I can make a decision!

When Air Jordan shoes first came out in 1985, they became extremely popular all due to the endorsement by Michael Jordan who was then recognized as one of the best basketball players of all time. The problem was that the shoes were very expensive. There were many rumors floating around about kids beating each other up just to get their hands on a pair of the shoes.

I hadn’t heard much about the shoes recently, but they are still being manufactured and are still widely popular. Now they come in many different styles and colors. And, of course, they are still very expensive!

I recently posted about celebrity homes, but do you know that you can also buy used celebrity cars? It reminds me of the episode from Seinfeld, when George thinks he has bought a car owned by Jon Voight. There is even a pencil in the car that George thinks was bitten by Jon Voight (hows that for a weird auto accessories).

You can own a 2002 Mercedes Benz owned by Chuck Norris or cars and trucks owned by various sports figures. Of course, the prices on these vehicles are very high. I guess there are always those who want a bit of fame any way they can get it.

Every once in a while I see an old news reel film clip about celebrities going on vacation. Back in the 20s, 30s and 40s they always favored taking long cruises. You would see them walking up the gang plank, waiving to all the reporters, and then slipping off to their private, and very expensive rooms. This was the best way to get to Europe then.

I don’t think that celebrities take cruises anymore. Just think, they would be at the mercy of everyone on board for a week or more!

After the end of his term, the Johnson’s returned to Texas. Lyndon died in 1973. After his death, Lady Bird supported causes dear to her heart, including the National Wildflower Research Center and the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library. She was dearly loved by all who knew her.

Celebrity homes are always a hot ticket. However, I will not be contacting my real estate broker, since the prices are a little out of my price range! I just found a few for sale in Palm Springs, California. I have been to Palm Springs, and if you like the desert, it is a beautiful place.

Scott Baio was born September 22, 1961 in Brooklyn, New York. His first role was in the musical Bugsy Malone. He played the title role and Jodie Foster also starred. He landed the role of Fonzie’s cousin in Happy Days – Charles Chachi Arcola. This role later was spun off in Joanie Loves Chachi. The series was short lived and only lasted one season. Baio came back to Happy Days for the last season.

During Happy Days, he also starred in a film, Zapped!, and in a few after school TV specials. His next major role would be that of Charles in the series Charles in Charge where he plays a male nanny.
