Is there a connection?

I didn't realize it until someone pointed it out.  I am wearing a Just One Before I Die t-shirt and toking on a hookah.  Maybe with a championship some day I won't need the hard stuff.

Name that Voice

Many people name the voice on their GPS or other device. Not just Siri. My sister has called her GPS voice 'Chloe' for years in tribute to the tech star assistant to Jack Bauer in the series '24'

Some Magellan users call theirs Maggie and Tom-Tom is easy if you use the male voice setting. I've also heard Gypsy for GPS.

Do you have a name for your voice? Let us know.

Kevin Goodman of BlueBridge Networks calls his KG-B.

Sharon Plona Jesse calls hers Jenny as in Jenny Jenny who can I turn to.

It's been a long winter already

Cleveland's Diversity at Work

Computers Assisting People (CAP) is a Cleveland non-profit that has worked to bridge the Digital Divide since the mid-90s. Since inception, CAP volunteers have refurbished and donated over 15,000 computers to over 450 schools and non-profits in Cleveland.


On Saturday, CAP moved to its new location at 2800 Euclid and a diverse group of volunteers helped out - various races, all ages, men and women - a great microcosm of our community. Here are 2 photos of some of the volunteers. (Debbie Hanson is not in the photos because she took them)
