Talk Of…

“I believe we are what we consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually”

“I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance”

“When you are vegan or vegetarian, you are very aware that when people eat a meaty diet, they are kind of a graveyard for animals”

Earlier today my wife discovered talkr.com.

Talkr.com is a free service which takes your text based blog and creates an audio podcast feed so visitors can listen to your posts rather than read them.

Each post on this site will have a link to listen to the post, and I will be adding a subscribe button in the sidebar as I get time.

For now, you can subscribe to the audio feed with this link (subscribe)

Pretty cool stuff if you ask me.

“I feel pretty confident that a rape occurred”

“The fact is, I didn’t pick the crime. I didn’t pick the time. But I’m going to do the case right”

“They don’t want to go up against me”

“I feel I did what was right and I don’t have anything to be vindicated for”

I agree with the attorney general’s statement that there is no credible evidence that Mr. Seligmann, Mr. Finnerty or Mr. Evans committed any of the crimes for which they were indicted—or any other crimes against (the accuser)—during the party that occurred on March 13th and 14th, 2006, at North Buchanan Boulevard in Durham.

“I think it is a terrible mistake for our president to say he will not talk with bad people. You don’t make peace with your friends — you have to do the hard work of dealing with people you don’t agree with”

“Certainly, we’re not going to just have our president meet with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez and you know, the president of North Korea, Iran and Syria, until we know better what the way forward would be”

“We cannot provide the leadership we need unless we are willing to try engage the other countries… We have no idea of how these people think, we have no contact with them”

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

 
There are an estimated 170,000 people in the United States and Europe who are in need of organs. Many of them face a very dark future and may die if they don’t receive the organs they so desperately need. Over 70,000 people in the United States alone are waiting for kidneys and deceased organ donations are not keeping pace with the demand.

There is a growing need for live donations, and Matching Donors is working to fulfill that need. Matching Donors helps match those willing to donate an organ with those who are so desperately waiting to receive one.

Living donors can safely donate a single kidney, part of their liver, a single lung lobe (out of the five they have), and portions of their pancreas, bone marrow and instestines.

Take a moment out of your day to visit Matching Donors and learn about live organ donation.

“We both went to law school and married other lawyers, but after that we made other choices. I think my choices have made me happier. I think I’m more joyful than she is.”

While working from home has it’s benefits, I do sometimes miss seeing people face to face.

Our office holds a conference call each week, so team members can discuss their projects and offer help to each other where needed. Although I must admit I love working in my pj’s some days, it would be nice to use video conferencing during our meeting so I could see the faces that coincide with the voices.

One video conferencing solution is Mega Meeting. It is 100% browser based with no software to download, works on the PC, Mac and Linux machines, and allows users to use PowerPoint and other applications during the video conference.

Starting at just $15 per person, per month, Mega Meeting offers the most inexpensive rate compared to other video conferencing services, and offers more service at the same time.

Check out Mega Meeting today, you won’t be disappointed.
