Handling things wrong again today. I want to say all the right things. Be the one with vision and foresight. And I keep saying the wrong things. My mojo is way off. Here is an example: I know from years of experience at Koko that small companies often make the mistake of thinking that short…
I am in a bad mood today. Maybe it’s biorhythms. Maybe my body chemistry is wreaking havoc on my disposition. Although it’s tempting to think so, I think it is not my body chemistry. I think something is inside of my brain that is itching. Some anger or fear or resentment or regret. It’s like…
Happy Solstice everybody! This is the time of year that Katie and Glen try to explain our holiday celebrations. Usually we fail to make people understand. But, hey, there is always next year. Here is my synopsis in bullet point form: We are celebrating the Winter Solstice on Dec 25, despite the fact that the…
First, I assume that I am completely right, logical and thoughtful. Second, I remember that all my assumptions are suspect. JibJab is funny by the way. They do such a good job with production quality. Oh and try out this awesome new Google Suggest Beta. Very impressive use of XMLHttpRequest.
I started The Power Broker this morning. At almost 1200 pages, it is daunting. It won the Pulitzer, so I am hoping it is worth the ride. On the child front, Jared is a pain in the butt. His answer to EVERY question is no. Want to go outside? No. Want to stay inside? No.…
Just finished Between Silk and Cyanide. Leo Marks certainly had an interested few years during WWII. I found myself feeling jealous. As a child, I always thought I had a destiny. A part to play in something important. That I would make my mark on the world somehow. 1995-2002 was my interesting time, but I…
Do some shopping (already did some, need to do more) One item I got Jared was a guitar for 3 year olds. I hope he can learn how to use it. I always wanted to know how to play an instrument, but alas, I had no patience and no musical talent. Which is why I…
Yesterday, my brother’s fiancee was on Who wants to be a Millionaire? I have no idea how she got on the show, but it’s cool. They give you money just for answering trivia questions! You do have to listen to Regis though. Oh well, no such thing as free lunch. Big news! Jared pooped on…
Conversation from this morning: Ethan asked, “Why do you have to go to work, daddy?” He clearly didn’t want me to go. I told him that I go because they ask me to do a particular job there and if I do it, they give me money. We use the money to buy food and…
This is great, Yiddish with Dick and Jane..
My weekend went well, but I didn’t achieve all of my goals. I got 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 and missed the rest. Still 60% is a good effort. I also reconfigured the holidays lights at the house. It looks much better now. Lately, I have been concerned over telecommunications mergers. Cingular and…
I have completed my first DOM recipe and it tastes good. Its a Supergrid to use in several different business application scenarios. It has all kinds of “better mousetrap” stuff in it. Read the JavaScript. It’s totally commented. Check it out. Here are my weekend goals: 1. Sign up Ethan for T-Ball on Saturday. 2.…
Big Joe Biden is going to run for president in 2008. Even though he is a senator, I think he is a natural leader. He has grit. He has moxy. He has charisma. He is presidential. I think Biden would be a better choice than Hillary (although I like Hillary). I would change my mind…
You gotta love John Stewart for this appearance on Crossfire. Tucker Carlson comes off like a jackass. Watch the video here. Also see his recap here. This is pure genius.
