Two newspapers in Philadelphia published ads for a new airline called Derrie-Air which was supposed to be charging passengers by the pound. While it’s an interesting concept, the ads were fake and part of a test by the newspapers advertising agency to create buzz and “put a smile on people’s faces”

Visitors to the airline site learn that Derrie-Air is the world’s only carbon-neutral luxury airline, and it justifies its fare policy by saying that it takes more fuel to move heavier objects. The carrier pledges to plant trees to offset every pound of carbon its planes release into the atmosphere.

Derrie-Air’s sample rates range from $1.40 per pound to fly from Philadelphia to Chicago to $2.25 per pound to fly from Philadelphia to Los Angeles.

The web site is quite good. Take a look at the link below.

This picture is an oldie but goodie. How cool would it be to trail these down the highway in your town. I’m sure in most states it’s illegal to tow balloons at 85 mph. Doesn’t make it any less funny.

This morning we laughed at an email about a groom who stood up and exposed his cheating bride to 300 reception guests. Have you received this one too? Doubting the validity (though not the humor ) I quickly went online to see if this funny story was true. Keep reading for the story and whether it’s true. More importantly I’ll show you where to sniff out urban legends and keep from forwarding prank stories to 100s of your email friends ….only to receive angry replies calling you stupid for believing that Bill Gates, Microsoft and AOL would give away money to anyone who forwards an email to 100 of their friends.

Ok students, hat tip to TechieDiva for this gem:

What exactly is the Internet? Webopedia says: “The Internet is a massive network of networks, a networking infrastructure. It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a network in which any computer can communicate with any other computer as long as they are both connected to the Internet. Information that travels over the Internet does so via a variety of languages known as protocols.”

Most of the time it’s confused with the Web, but the Internet is actually the hardware-Web is software. But who better to explain the Internet, than America’s Next Top Bubblehead, Jessica Simpson.

Computer technology can be so overwhelming! There’s Windows Vista, Windows XP, Mac or PC, Broadband or DSL, will that be cash or charge… oh my, the choices and the verbiage - even for us seasoned computer users - are so overwhelming!

We love helping people with computer technology; but for some folks (bless their hearts) they need to start at the basics.

“You Have To Learn Computers,” the Rafael Alonso I.T.F Technical Computer Institute is a good place to start!

(I wish I started there!)

Are you aware that there are many unfortunate children desperately in need of an iPod? Watch this video to find out how you can help…

This excellent video starring Eve Park, aka Geek Girl, has got to be one of the best and funniest spoofs I have ever seen.

We run into a lot of scenarios in our lives that stir up our emotions - good, bad or indifferent that demand a response. Sometimes an apology needs to be issued, or clarification is needed. As hard as some of us try to manage our time to multitask and accomplish the daily chores that must get done without some schmuck cutting off in traffic, or having a worthless coworker failing to pass along some vital information, words fail us. Hey, we”ve all been there as either a giver or receiver. Communication can be tough at times! For those times when I wish I had signed up for the professional mind reading seminar to understand the opposite sex or when a Curly moment (from the Three Stooges) kicks in:

“I’m trying to think but nothing happens!”… I just need a little help.

Fortunately an innovative set of tools is available to help express our emotions and relieve that inner turmoil !
