What a hassle this is - is an IPhone any better? I don't know but in the spirit of cool things, the little things I really appreciate and wanted to note an easy, straight forward way of removing your old contacts from your Blackberry; cleaning house so to speak.

Thank you EHow - this was a short and easy fix to my 227 contacts that were mostly duplicates.

Which camp are you in?

So what is a 40 yr old man doing blogging about Carrie Underwood? Well to be honest, I have been a fan since seeing her on American Idol - a show I can't stand. My wife told me how great it is but all I saw was youth being used to make some old guys rich with a clear emphasis on marketing. Cynical? Yep. Well while I was working at the kitchen table, I would hear Underwood singing and I thought for once, this show was living up to the hype. Underwood didn't come with a sad story about this or that, she just seemed optimistic and had a great voice and a charm about her that actually made me (the cynic) interested in seeing how she did. Well we all know how she did so let me move on.

She has (when I have read stories about her) not apologized about thanking God for her success and voice and I was shot this video with her taking one of her first hits ("Jesus take the wheel") and adding a gospel ending to it with the song "How Great thou art". I post this because I maintain there are basically two types of people in the world. One type that will watch this and ridicule her and her choice of song as silly and outdated and "preachy" and the other will watch this and be genuinely moved by her vocals and moving sentiment of the song. I got chills...

Oh and over at Big Hollywood Bruce Carroll notes in a story that he was at the CMA Country Music Fest where this was performed and said that ABC was televising this event and chose not to highlight this performance and questions why this decision was made when it was "...the most memorable performance of the CMA Music Fest". He continues that "It is a shame that the producers at ABC probably looked at each other, rolled their eyes, and shook their heads “no” when the saw the Underwood performance". Bruce is right on and I am happy to share this performance.
