I don’t know how I missed it, but today I discovered the new United States Navy recruiting slogan. And I like it! “A Global Force for Good” is a great slogan.
I especially love this poster! “Because Peace Does Not Preserve Itself” There are some other great posters in the gallery as well.
Visit the US Naval Recruiting Command.

Google has a problem getting their Chrome OS to print with everyone’s printer. Why don’t they solve this with another cloud application?
I was Listening to one of my favorite podcasts this evening, Buzz Out Loud episode #1117. Tom, Molly and Rafe spent some time talking about a report that Google wants to develop a standard for printing to ease the work required to get Google’s new Chrome OS to print.
It’s a huge problem! Nearly every printer has a different software driver. Even within the same manufacturer there are driver differences for each generation and style of printer they make. It sure makes it all very complicated. I applaud Google for trying and I hope they succeed. But frankly, I think Google is missing a bigger opportunity!
Some arrogant rich people find it too noisy living next door the USS Constitution. The nerve of some people just burns me up!
According to the Boston Herald, some residents have complained that the twice daily cannon salutes and the playing of the national anthem are disruptive to their lives. You can read the Boston Herald story here, and here.
Since 1975 the USS Constitution has fired a gun salute at 8AM and played the National Anthem over loud speakers while they raise the national flag and then fire a second salute at sunset when they lower the colors. This is not new and is very predictable. That someone now finds it, “more disruptive to the neighborhood than you might have imagined” is offensive to me!
How galling can these people be? This so rubs me the wrong way.
