Recently, there were some kids near my house running a lemonade stand, so of course I had to stop.  I always stop for lemonade stands.  Maybe it’s just that I always want to encourage entrepreneurs.  I got talking with the kids and they were all familiar with Digital Chocolate games.  I was asking them about their gaming platforms and none of them yet had an iPod touch.  I told them to ask for one for Christmas!  I honestly think the iPod touch is going to be the hottest Christmas gift for kids.  I don’t understand why there isn’t more buzz about it yet, but just wait and see.  Another trendy thing around here is Netflix, who is already the FedEx of movie rentals.  But lately many people have been talking about how they are now streaming the Netflix films over the Internet.  I’m still a Blockbuster regular but I did notice that their back catalog shrank when they shifted from VHS to DVD and unloaded all their tapes.  This lack of inventory at Blockbuster may cause me to switch to Netflix just to have the bigger catalog they are known for.  Oddly enough I forestalled that event recently.  I was putting up posters for an event at my church and found myself in a Goodwill store, where I noticed a woman buying a VHS tape at the counter.  Only at that point did I realize that they had inventory of old tapes and I went home with a “treasure” of 20 great tapes.  Okay, so I’m a Luddite; others are streaming Netflix over the Internet and I’m scrounging for VHS tapes at the Goodwill!
