The popular Vietnamese name Nguyễn (or simply Nguyen) is pronounced like the word "win" or "when".  Over 40% of the Vietnamese share this surname.  I think I'll stop pronouncing it en-guy-en.

HootSuite is an awesome social media service!  It can post to both Twitter and Facebook simultaneously (as well as MANY more), and you can schedule posts for future updates.  It's also has an app for the iPhone.   It is perfect for all my business needs!

That line in the song Across the Universe by the Beatles that I never understood is an interesting line.  It's Jai guru deva om.  It's a line of Sanskrit which can be roughly translated to mean "Victory to God divine".  Although I would seriously question how the Beatles define God, it's a nice line and complements the rest of the song.  In context, the song makes more sense.  I wonder how many songs I just make up the lyrics to on the fly, and never learn what is being said...haha!
