American Traditionalist

A fellow Blogger that was awarded the Thinking Blog award recently took the the time to acknowledge 5 Blogs he feels are worthy of some recognition by him.

This Blog was honored to be in the esteemed list of those five sites.

A Voice Of Reason is one of the blogs that I would have nominated had I received the award first and I highly recommend his blog as a must read.

So now it’s my turn to nominate five blogs, here goes:

opinionnation

A hard hitting conservative blog. Very opinionated as the title suggests.

Political Vindication

Two men fighting the main stream media to hold on to the country they love.

American And Proud

The name says it all.

American Traditionalist

A New Hampshire (my great state) based political blog. With local issues sprinkled in.

New England Republican

A political blog about national politics, and politics local to New England

I am humbled by this as I too started this site 15 months ago as a outlet for my feelings and thoughts on the political landscape. At times it is hard with so many liberal attacks on this country beating us down over and over but I continue pointing out the destructive actions of those that would harm this great nation and our children.

Thanks to mpinkeyes at Wake up America for this mention. His blog is extremely well designed and full of thought provoking posts. Make it a daily read.

Grand gestures of love take many forms on Valentine’s Day — flowers, chocolate, romantic dinners — but a tech-savvy couple has taken it to a new level.

Jennifer Tomblin and Amal Graafstra have made the most modern declaration of their affection for each other, with implanted electronic chips that allow them unfettered access to each other’s lives.

The trend is likely to gain momentum as couples seek new ways to implement technology into their daily lives, and just maybe, to demonstrate their love for each other.

If you are a truely dedicated geek. Now I love technology and this sounds very doable in the near future.

I can just see it now. Picture a man gets down on one knee, proposes ever lasting love and asks her (yes her) hand in marriage holding out an engagement ring. She takes the ring, looks into his eyes passionately, smiles, but a frown appears on her forehead and she says ” does this come with a chip?“

Like a tattoo, Tomblin said, it’s a unique way of connecting with her significant other.

Hit tip Drudge Report:

Microsoft has PowerToy that lets you reduce the size of your picture files. The Image Resizer only works with Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server.

To install the Image Resizer PowerToy, go to the Windows XP PowerToys home page. Download the file on the right called ImageResizer.exe. It is for some reason actually named ImageResizerPowerToy.exe

When ImageResizerPowerToySetup.exe is downloaded, double-click it to install it.

To use Image Resizer, start by selecting a picture file (or files) that you want to make smaller. Right-click on the file or files and choose Resize Pictures.

This tool gives you the option of resizing to different screen resolutions — 800 x 600 pixels, 1024 x 768, and so on. If you click Advanced, the Resizer tool lets you choose any resolution at all.

When you click Next, the Resizer makes a copy of the picture and gives it a new name. For example, if you right-click on myCar.jpg and choose “Small Fits a 640 x 480 screen,” the Resizer makes a file called myCar (Small).jpg and sticks it in the same folder as the original. That new file is small in the sense that it is not a high-resolution and has a smaller pixel count than the original file. Just like any other picture file — you can print it, or email it, or view it on-screen.

Try it I did, very handy.
