The US Senate's antitrust panel wants to know from cell phone companies why texting prices have doubled over the last three years when the cost to send them hasn't.

Hopefully something will come of this:-)

Federer is the MAN!

Roger Federer won the US Open again (5 straight). That makes 13
majors for Federer and one shy of tying Pete Sampras' record of 14.
He just makes the game look easy.

Rock the Universe!!

Yesterday, at Rock the Universe, had to be one of the coolest days ever and this is why.

1.  I sat down next to Mac Powell (Third Day) at Shrek 4D as soon as we got to Universal:-)  Mac was awesome and extremely friendly.  A true surprise and extremely cool for me:-)
2.  We got escorted to the front of most of the lines of each ride due to a certain pass from a certain friend:-)  Flashing the pass and then having them get someone to escort us through the back passageways was awesome!
3.  I ran into Mark Lee (Third Day) as I was walking away from the Jars of Clay concert to let my bro in the park.  Mark was awesome too!  A couple of high fives and some talk about twitter and I was on my way to let Bob in.
4.  Went backstage at Jars of Clay:-)  The other pass we had was All Access.  Rocked!
5.  Ran into Mark Lee again and chatted a bit longer and did a real time Twitter check:-)
6.  Went backstage at Third Day concert with Charissa, Mom, Dad, Aunt Bet, and CJ.  BACKSTAGE AT THIRD DAY!!!  How cool is that!  The concert freakin rocked!  I think the guys get better each time (my 13th show).
7.  Ran into Tai Anderson and David Carr (Third Day) backstage after the show!  They too were awesome:-)

Things I had to eat/drink:
1.  Churro and Coke Slurpee at Islands of Adventure.  Yeah, Charissa and I went to both parks:-)
2.  Bottle of water
3.  Bacon Cheeseburger and Coke at NBA City
4.  Bottle of water
5.  Turkey Leg and a coke at Universal.  The turkey leg was really good.  It was my first at a theme park.
6.  Bottle of water
7.  Shepards Pie and a cherry coke or as the waitress called it, a roy rogers?:-) 

Rides:

Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld make Microsoft cool again?

If you don't watch football, you probably didn't see the first installment of Billy Gates' marketing campaign with Jerry Seinfeld. I thought the commercial was great! Will it motivate me to buy another Microsoft backed computer? No. I do think Mac (which I use) finally has some competition on the marketing side though.

See it for yourself if you haven't already.
