• Robin Williams – The Face of Inner Pain

    It seems nearly impossible to fathom that someone as brilliant and funny as Robin Williams could be so tortured emotionally that he takes himself out of the human race. Yet, last week, one by one, each of us across the whole globe, fixed our attention on the sad news of this beloved actor’s suicide. Sometimes, a blip of news in the vast sea of information we are bombarded with daily, seems to slap us so hard in the face that we can almost hear the collective groan rippling through space and time.

Agent K, Tommy Lee Jones, was filling in Will Smith's character about the existence of aliens on planet earth:

  • New Business-Class Internet Service for Poplar Bluff

    One of the biggest problems with providing Internet access to business customers is: ALL types of internet services fail at some time. Whether its a T1, wireless, cable internet, or DSL, no one platform is perfect. We here at semo.net have been working on a new service that reduces downtime and increases bandwidth for business customers.
