I travel a lot and every time I see a solider in uniform, I want to say “Thank You”.

Some times I do. Other times I balk – either because the interaction is too quick or I’m too much in my head planning, getting ready, etc, etc, etc. Honestly, I really don’t know why I don’t speak up every time – they certainly deserve that… The Gratitude Campaign makes this REALLY easy to do. Its a simple hand gesture that quickly and silently conveys the thanks that you feel in your heart but can’t always get off your lips. Tell them how you feel, its the least we can do!

Watch the quick movie below for a full explanation.

God Bless the men and women in uniform!

Wow.  Proof! :^)

Changing the Java version on OS X is extremely easy.

Simply navigate to /Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences.App and launch the app.  There you can set the version of Java to use for both Applets and Applications.

Keep in mind that running a java -version command from a terminal will only reflect the Java Preferences.App settings if you haven’t specified a JAVA_HOME in your .bashrc or .profile, etc.
