Check out this post on the top 5 regrets of the dying. Sorry it sounds so maudlin but I believe the lessons that could be learned are worth the exercise of thinking of our mortality. I’ve often heard that we should live so that we would be proud of our obituary. This post helps put things in the perspective of the dying.

disclaimer: I don’t know much about the Inspiration and Chai blog so I’m not endorsing it, just think this article is worth it.

A few things that caught my attention this week:

Amazon’s Cloud Player – put your music in the cloud and listen via your Android device or any browser.

Found a super cool website this week, Inventables.com has every odd and nerdy item you can think of. Great resource for those science projects that stand out. And don’t forget ThinkGeek, another site for items you can’t just get anywhere.

Remember the band Whitesnake? They’ve got a new album out. Wondering if we should still call them albums…

Heard a great interview on the BBC with Barbara Bodine, America’s past Ambassador to Yemen and spent much of her career in the Arabian Peninsula. She was a major player in the investigations of the USS Cole bombing and 9/11.

The Memphis Grizzlies sure made us proud this season. Cannot wait for next year.

What better time and date to relaunch this blog than today?

I rarely make New Year’s resolutions but I do appreciate the clean start a new calendar can bring. I’ve seen some very well done posts from my friends lately and I have a few FB friends who can literally make you LOL so in their honor I think I’ve give this another go.

What will be the topics you ask? Just about anything that catches me funny or strange. Maybe a serious post every now and then. Some blogs are more geared towards a certain topic or stream of consciousness, I think this one will be a little different since I think we all go through different phases at different times.

So, point your RSS readers to my feed here and I promise to write often.

My daughter went to DNOW this weekend where this video by the City Community Church was screened. Quite amazing and so true.

I think I’ve reached the point where I should host my own blog, on my own server. Taking the digital training wheels off as it were. So from now on visit http://mtwhite.net/ for your fix.

Great blog post about keeping kids safe from the uglier side of the internet, including tips anyone can implement. Take a minute or two and read, it’s worth the time.

I could not say it better than my friend Mike Gold did in his latest post. I think we all echo those last words…
