If its this bad for Black Friday wait until Boxing Day. Even the name is violent.

Secure MP3 Players!!!

I would like to introduce a new design idea for both mp3 and ipod security. Yes there are locked screens. Fingerprint protection but at the end of the day you remove the battery and it eventually resets. Why protect the device when its the person that gets hurt when they try and steal it.

The idea I have is attaching a mace container to the mp3 player. That way you are protecting the user of the product. If anyone gets too close you simply press an extra button on the player and aim for the eyes. The other option is mp3 player stun guns. The players have batteries anyways so it could build up a static charge. When someone tries to steal your mp3 player you press a button then hand it to them. "Here take it but don't hurt me", you say. Then when they grab it they get shocked. At the point the shock happens the mp3 player circuits damage permenantly making the task of stealing it pointless. This would also deter unnecessary attacks with it as they would lose their hundred dollar device.

What do you think? If you think either is a good idea please email susan@clinchportal.com

Another Meteor Hit In Manitoba

I guess Susan was right again. She called me last week with another of her meteor dreams. This time it was about a place called "Spirit" and a heavenly body would cross the sky and connect with a spirit in Canada. As it got closer to the spirit Susan saw swans floating on a river. I started to laugh because what river in Canada does not have swans on it or geese.

Oddly "Manitoba" is related to the Algonquian word "Manitou", meaning 'spirit' and reports state that people saw the streak in the sky near swan river.

Sometimes Susan really freaks me out with her nightmares.

Update on the Meteor in Manitoba. Susan told me that now there is a bidding war on the meteor fragments.

The scary things is that nobody seemed to know it was coming. It was a 10 tonne meteor fragment.

Where will you be 4:13(2036)? Listening to the new Cure album?

You can check out the hype about the album or you can just go buy it. I for one am just going to buy it. I love the cure. Robert Smith is my hero.

I have had many dreams myself about 4:13. Some of my friends know about them. They really scare me sometimes. If you would like to hear more about my dreams you can email me at susan@clinchportal.com and I can tell you a little more.

In the meantime, I have been working my way through my grandmother's journal and have posted some blog entries on them at http://idajournal.blogspot.com I would appreciate you checking it out. Also if anyone can find my grandmother's journal I would be extremely greatful.
