National Hug Day (US)

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"We are just enthusiastic about what we do." Steve Jobs


TODAY IN HISTORY:
The Bee Gees
Time magazine cover

  • 1908 NYC regulation makes it illegal for women to smoke in public.
  • 1978 Bee Gees' "Saturday Night Fever" album goes # 1 for 24 weeks.
  • 1998 Pope John Paul II visits Cuba.



FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
First of all, an update on the SOPA and PIPA issue. We have an interesting article right here that follows up on the piracy issue. And we also have an interview on NPR that summarizes the topic for you. GOOD NEWS! Both SOPA and PIPA bills have been postponed according to this CNN news update. You must check it out...
Moving on to something happy, 2012 is the year of the Maya. CNN has prepared this excellent report that will make you proud of being Mexican.

hello! I'm glad that it has disapproved of the laws, because the government only wants to censor free speech and should not do that because every one of us has freedom about it
