It's Derby Day in Hoptown!

User Beware

I've often tried to tell people around me the realities of the Google business plan, compared to everyone else's, and particularly compared to Apple's. I believe one is fail-safe for consumers and one is (in my opinion) a consumer trap unless the user knows ahead of the risks ahead of time and proceeds anyway. The key is to be informed.

Rene Ritchie, a recognized Apple customer and technology writer/blogger/commenter, posted a summary of his thoughts on some of Google's recent corporate conference for developers where the company unveiled some new "products." Near the top of his remarks he gave a concise, easy to digest explanation of the differences between Google and Apple. I believe this part is instructive, but you can read the whole thing here.

Both Apple and Google have been stating their corporate goals with increasing frequency, including during their respective keynotes. Both are worth comparing and contrasting.

Apple's is to make great products. Google's is to organize the world's data. Expanded, that means Apple needs to enter categories where the company believes it can make a substantial contribution through really great products it can sell to a select segment of the market. Google needs to convince everyone on earth to hand over all of their data so Google can organize it and make it accessible to everyone else on earth.

Apple funds its strategy by selling those great products at substantial margins. Google by selling advertising against, and intelligence obtained from, the data.

Everything Apple says and does on stage is designed to get you to give them money for a product, and to enjoy it so much you want to keep giving them more money for subsequent products. Everything Google says and does on stage is to get you to give them more data, and to enjoy it so much you want to keep giving them more data

Long, but such an interesting read. I still can't believe some of the things astronauts have to do in space. Plenty of stuff in here for even non-nerds to enjoy :)

Incredible Leaps

One of the tech sites I frequent provided a link to this story and called it a great piece. All I can say about it is that it requires incredible leaps of faith to believe. People afraid of accepting that God created all things will find no alternative explanation for life and the universe too outlandish or absurd.

Pray for them to see God in the universe instead of relying on senseless theories based on enormous, untested and equally senseless assumptions.

Sen. Westerfield Week in Review 10 from Whitney on Vimeo.

The most aggressive judiciary agenda to date this session, SB 200 (juvenile code reform) sails out of committee 8-1 (and the "1" may flip to a "yes" as we continue to hammer out a compromise), and the House at this writing hasn't yet passed a budget for the Senate to begin to edit - leaving us very little time to get it done. But we press on!

Week nine of the 2014 Regular Session saw the juvenile code bill filed (SB200), three bills changing the Carry Concealed Deadly Weapon permit process, and zappers. Yes....zappers. Have a look!

The Kentucky State Senate passed numerous bills this week from executive branch reorganization bills, to a healthcare bill related to eyedrop prescriptions, and a bill aimed at "patent trolls" to protect Kentucky businesses large and small alike; capped with an awesome performance of "My Old Kentucky Home" by the acoUstiKats on the Senate floor.

The acoUstiKats just rocked My Old Kentucky Home from the Senate floor. #awesome from Whitney on Vimeo.

Good morning, South Todd CARDINALS! I hope you enjoy reading as much as I do! Find a book or story about something you love and dig deep into that book! Explore the world around you, history or stretch your imagination!

Week 7 in the Kentucky State Senate saw several bills, but two that drew the most attention were related to elder abuse and restoring voting rights to certain felons.

Week 6 of the Kentucky General Assembly was the busiest yet, with musical guests to open session in chambers and multiple bills covering a wide gamut of policy areas from education to technology, and public safety to healthcare.

Yet another series of winter storms slowed the Commonwealth to a crawl this week, but the General Assembly plugged ahead. Prolife, education and technology legislation, along with regulatory reform all made progress through the Senate. Have a look!

Nova Mystery of the Megaflood (by Science Hub)

This is a great little documentary if you have the time.

You can find the explanation in Scripture (Genesis 6:5 - 9:17), where it's been written for centuries. God flooded the Earth for 40 days and 40 nights because of the corruption of mankind. Mystery solved.
