Ten Spider 1,000,000th Visitor!

Sat, 02 Apr 2011 02:45:25 GMT

I rarely blog any more; though I’d like to, I simply don’t have the time. However, I must offer a brief post to thank our visitors for their ongoing support. While it’s taken a while (just shy of eight years, actually), on 3 March 2011 the Ten Spider Enterprises family of websites crossed the one million visitor mark. We have reached this goal by serving everyone from school children to professionals in personal, business,...

East Coast Snowstorm

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 21:45:24 GMT

What did I see when I woke up this morning? Snow, and lots of it! I ventured outside at 11 AM to take a measurement and recorded 7.8 inches. Just took another measurement at 4 PM; accumulation is now 11.0 inches. Anyway, it's really beautiful outside — at least, if you happen to like snow. For those of you who are snowbugs but don't have any of your own on hand, I thought I'd offer you a photo of what it looks like outside my window....

Editorial: Response to "The Financial Disintegration of California"

Sat, 23 May 2009 22:00:35 GMT

An article written by Mike Adams on CounterThink.com has raised my ire. In this article, entitled "The Financial Disintegration of California," the author begins by stating, "The failure of California's proposed initiatives that desperately attempted to balance the state budget reveals a sobering truth about every Democracy: The voters will never vote...

Photo of the Day: Aerial Police Surveillance

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:00:50 GMT

A little excitement today. The Vineland police were seeking a suspect in what turned out to be a pretty big manhunt lasting about two hours and apparently concluding a short while ago. I spoke to a police officer who was at one point searching my property (woods) for the suspect. Two police helicopters were involved as well as motorcycle cops and at least one police cruiser (more, I'm sure) parked at the corner of my property for well over an hour. I managed to catch a photo of...

Does Congress Know a Crisis When It Sees One?

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:30:26 GMT

EDITORIAL: Today's vote in the U.S. House of Representatives against the "economic bailout package" shows a flagrant disregard by our elected representatives toward the American public and a total detachment from reality with regard to the fragility of the current world financial environment. The partisan remarks by Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi just prior to the vote were highly inflammatory and reprehensible given the situation, not...

Today marks a milestone for the Ten Spider Enterprises family of websites. While it did take some time to get there, I am proud to announce that we have today served our 500,000th visitor.

Sat, 10 May 2008 21:30:05 GMT

The World has yet to absorb the full impact of the devastation wrought by Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Nargis, a tropical cyclone in the North Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal which struck the Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar (Burma) on 2 May 2008, devastating the Irrawaddy River delta, referred to as the Mouths of the Irrawaddy.
