I am not one for sharing sappy stuff; however, this column hit me at just the right time.

This was written by Regina Brett, columnist for the Plain Dealer, Cleveland, OH. She said, “To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 50 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written.”
1) Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2) When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3) Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4) Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5) Pay off your credit cards every month.
6) You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7) Cry with someone. It is more healing than crying alone.
8 ) It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9) Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10) When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11) Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12) It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13) Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14) If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15) Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God doesn’t blink.
16) Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
17) You can get through anything if you stay put in today.
18) A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.
19) It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20) When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
21) Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie.
22) Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23) Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
24) The most important sex organ is the brain.
25) No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
26) Frame every so-called disaster with these words: “In five years, will this matter?”
27) Always choose life.
28) Forgive everyone everything.
29) What other people think of you is none of your business.
30) Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31) However good or bad the situation, it will change.
32) Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will.
33) Believe in miracles.
34) God loves you for who God is, not because of anything you did or did not do.
35) Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
36) Growing old beats the alternative - dying young.
37) Your children only get one childhood. Make it memorable.
38) Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.
39) Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40) If we threw our problems into a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
41) Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
42) Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful, or joyful.
43) All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
44) Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
45) The best is yet to come.
46) No matter how you feel, get up, get dressed, and show up.
47) Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
48) If you don’t ask, you don’t get.
49) Yield.
50) Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

I almost started a fight on twitter. I said something to the affect that “I-phone apps are a fad”.  Boy did I get some interesting DMs on that one. I never knew I was such an idiot!

My point is that applications are the rage now.  However, they are expensive and there is a glut of applications.

Why would a company want to limit their market?  For example, Ozean’s designers - I-phone fanatics.  Ozean’s Sales - Blackberry fanatics.  Ozean’s developers stood in line for Androids.

Instead of building platform specific applications (one for I-phone, one for BB, one for Android) - why wouldn’t you invest the same amount of money OR less to insure that your website works on a mobile web platform?  That way anyone with any phone and any browser would be able to access your company’s offerings.

True, it is not as sexy right now and the mobile browsers still have a way to go - but that is the next logical step.  Breaking away from a platform specific application to a mobile browser experience.

I found this article on usability tips for mobile web site design.and I thought I would share it in closing.

This is a list of the top 100 viral videos, to include “Charlie bit me”, “Rick Rolled”, and Gainesville’s favorite “Don’t Tase me, Bro”
