If a tree falls in the forest without anyone hearing it — does it actually make a sound?
The answer of course, over time, has never been answered — but instead I have a better question that we actually can answer. A question related to the ever burgeoning communication circus called IM’ing. And that question, as eloquently as I can pose it, is this:
If an Instant Message is typed, then erased before you ever press return, does the person who was supposed to get that message know that you changed your mind?
The answer is a resounding, YES.

I know I am way late to the party on this one, so forgive me…
But I just finally got around to adding “smarterchild” to my AIM instant messenger list. Smarterchild is the creation of Conversagent, Inc. — and by adding this little bot to your chat list, you can contact the smarter child with almost any question and get the answers you need immediately.
For me, I’m often out and about when I want to find movie listings and times, I want to know the latest news and pretty regularly I want to convert feet to yards. Smarterchild is there for you in these tough times as well.

Entertainment and Media has sure evolved over the years.
First it was the stage. Then radio. Then silent pictures. Then movies got sound. Then the Hollywood system was formed and actors all across the world began to become well known for their pictures and their big-budget successful movies. Media has evolved, grown and formed.
I always wanted to be an actor.
Well, I was like everyone else who watches television and says to themselves, “That doesn’t look too hard!” I mean, what do they do? They get a thousand takes to say the same damn lines and they work minimal hours per week and what kind of cushy job that’s got to be. It’s what caused me to join The Groundlings here in Los Angeles and about three weeks in I realized I had made a very very very serious mistake. Acting was hard. I bowed down to all the actors of the world, even those on WB and UPN sitcoms. They were doing something that required skill. And I didn’t have it.
