the Attention span of a child
Well today was a very interesting service at church today. Nothing really stood out of the norm (except maybe me throwing my drum sticks all over the place, I had horrible butter fingers today), but one thing that was interesting was that a friend of mine’s son (thats him reflecting above) wanted to sit on my lap during the sermon. Now as an introvert, that is a no-no. Kids are totally out of bounds for introverts, they worse than people, they little people. They have all sorts of ucky things like …. Well let me carry on before I gross some people out 
As a recovering introvert though, I have become kind of attached to the little guy. He like me to hold him sometimes and does the cutest little dances when I play drums. So things were not so bad when the sermon started and he came and sat on my lap. Then I start remembering back to some presentation training I went through and remembered that children have an attantion span of like maybe 10 minutes. So I start to panic that this guy is gonna draw attention to me when he gets bored, but he was extremely good for like 40 minutes, and there is only so many times you can play with your shoelaces and try to pull your fingers off your hands (without it hurting of course). He finally cracked at that point and I had to walk through the church hall with a crying child so that his parents could take him to the toys.
Google Street View
I was reading an article the other day on a service from Google called Google street view, well actually not a service in itself but more of an add-on to Google Earth. Anyway it’s a pretty hot topic at the moment as people are saying that their privacy is being violated. One example is a lady who went to her house and could see her cat sitting in the window.
Well my personal opinion is that people can drive by her house and see the cat themselves without Google street view, so whats the bother. Now I know that there are many more people can view this online and in the privacy of their own homes. This maybe raises concerns about criminals using the service, but it’s just as easy for a criminal to drive by a house that is being targeted and take a few seconds of footage and drive away without being noticed. In fact as a criminal (not that I am a criminal mind you 
) I would much rather get the footage myself as I can get all the angles I wanted and there would be no log of my IP address that I was looking at the pictures.
What are your thoughts regarding this issue. Leave a comment, lets get a discussion going.
