DON'T FORGET PRECAUTIONARY COMPUTER ROUTINES

Posted:

IN A NUTSHELL

1. This is just a friendly reminder, since the original bulletins are "submerged" from view -- and some friends may not have yet chanced upon them. This link explains all (please click here).

2. The time is fast-approaching (if I can help it) where such information will have a permanent home in a place where you're sure to be reminded when it is most needed.

3. The whole goal is to help us humans stop ourselves from "reinventing wheels" so unnecessarily, wastefully, and often. Stepping into life's very same potholes (or missing the very same good chances) which earlier victims (and beneficiaries) might have made known and useful to us, had they only been able to -- in good time.

4. We've got far better things to do than trying to remember -- usually in random fashion and at random success-rates -- all those wise, practical, and inspiring things which ought to be built right into the automatic portion of our "life-control panels."

5. And, it is certainly unhelpful to suffer the added risk of overlooking or even not knowing to look -- where the answers lie ready and waiting to meet the questions we probably should be asking.

6. Here's to human betterment and to everything we can possibly contribute to advance it.

STATE OF THE ARTS -- Spectacular, but typical

Oh, what the human mind can achieve! Walking this earth like wonderful (and terrible) gods.

Dinosaurs have been brought back to life, by human invention, but with new and benign purpose.

Behold the spectacular: http://www.chonday.com/Videos/excamuoich2
