Happy St. Patrick’s Day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m at work now with my green on, and a handful of Irish CD’s ready to listen to all day. (Flogging Molly, Black 47, Prodigals, Young Dubliners, Seven Nations, etc. Couldn’t find the Pogues or Dropkick Murphy’s CD’s this morning.) Must be St. Patrick’s Day! The only thing missing is a Guinness to sip on while I work. Think my boss would go for that? 😉

As most of you know from reading my sites, I very closely identify myself with my Irish heritage. I’ve spent a lot of time studying Irish history, as well as the history of Irish-Americans. I have a great respect for the people of Ireland and all that they, and the early immigrants to America, have had to overcome. Yet with all the sadness, tragedy and hardships they’ve had to endure, you’ll find no group of people who enjoy everything life has to offer any more than the Irish. Take today to follow their example and enjoy all the good things in your life!

Hope everyone out there has a good, and safe, day!

    So I’ve been using ActiveWords for a few weeks now, and I’m liking the ability to add some shortcuts, and the auto correction of misspellings no matter what application I’m typing in, but it’s missing something. What I’d really like is something that will actually record keystroke or mouse clicks and let you automate certain…
