Time Warner Loss Due to AOL 1/30/2003 AOL Time Warner posted a net loss of 100 billion dollars for fiscal year 2002. This is the largest loss in corporate history. Ted Turner, the largest AOL shareholder, and Vice Chairman, announced he will be resigning from the company at the next shareholder’s meeting. Steve Case, the Chairman, announced his resignation in December. This is a huge blow to AOL. You can read the full report at Win Informant. For those…

The State of the Union 1/30/2003 I really appreciate the remarks the President made in The State of the Union Address Tuesday night. I must admit that I haven’t been following the threat of war too closely, and I definitely had no idea that Saddam had control over such a large amount of biological weapons, and weapons of mass destruction! It’s almost mind-blowing! Now that I know the facts, I agree that the President is justified in wanting to…

Cloanid Cannot Prove Their Claim! 1/23/2003 I heard that ClonAid has failed to provide any evidence that Eve is a clone, and the company also refuses to tell the government what country the child is located in, or who the mother is, according to MSNBC. The company also claims that there have been two more clone births, with two more expected by February 5th, bringing the total to 5. Many believe the claims to be a hoax. Yours truly,…

Listening To: Avril Lavigne 1/23/2003 I recently discovered that I like Avril Lavigne’s music when I heard a few of her songs on the radio. I decided to download a few of her songs from the Internet. I like her music, and I’d really like to pick up her CD Let Go. My birthday is coming up next month, so maybe I’ll ask for it then. Yours truly, Joshua Clinard @ 9:04 am …

Daring to Dance with God 1/15/2003 Last night, I read the first chapter of Jeff Walling’s first book, entitled Daring to Dance with God. It looks to be a good read. I am going to read one chapter each night, as part of my daily devotional. When I’m finished I will start on another book. Maybe I’ll get his second book next, or start on a Max Lucado book that my father had. To find out more about Jeff’s…

What is This Clonaid Sect? 1/15/2003 I was watching Dateline last night, and one of the feature stories was about how a religious sect called the Raelians believes that human cloning is the “key” to eternal life. The group, which has 55,000 followers worldwide, claims that their leader, Claude Vorilhon, who started the sect in 1990, visited an alien planet, where he saw Moses, Jesus and Elijah. He claims that they told him that in order to have eternal…

Harry Potter Book Announced 1/15/2003 Great news! The 5th book in the Harry Potter series has finally been announced. It will be published on June 21st. The reason for the long wait? The novel will be over 33% longer than the fourth book. To find out more, read the story at CBBC Newsround. Yours truly, Joshua Clinard @ 7:02 pm …

Catering is Really Hard Work 1/13/2003 I have been catering for ACU for almost a year now. It is hard work, and sometimes I get really tired working late hours, but I do enjoy it. This is one of the best jobs I ever had, and my co-workers and I enjoy working together. I think we make a great team. I just wish they would give me that raise they keep promising. Yours truly, Joshua Clinard @ 9:04 pm…

My Resignation from MuggleNet 1/13/2003 Last July, I resigned from my position as owner and co-webmaster of MuggleNet. com, because my involvement with the site and the message board was taking up too much of my time and energy, and because there were some staff disagreements about how the site should be run. I decided that it was time for me to move on to other things. I have thought about starting a smaller Harry Potter site sometime in…
