The Sheild Season 6 started last night. It is the best show on television. Forest Whitaker is the hateable bad guy ever. He needs to be shot. Love this show. Matthew is wearing underwear for a few hours a day. WOO HOO! He also is obsessed with that punk rock song. HEY HO, LET’S GO! …
I just finished Katherine Graham’s Personal History. It was a very good book for 60% of the book. it went decidedly down-hill after that. I think that her earlier life held alot more interest for me because she was talking about human relationships and famous people. The later life focused on mergers and acquisitions and…
My whole body hurts. It hurts to type. I played tennis yesterday and today for 2.5 hours each. I joined a 4.0-4.5 league. The competition seems right. My physical game is ok, but my mental game is horrible. I am constantly trying to STOP thinking about my game. Whenever I am thinking about my game,…
Something is definetely going on. Bees have disappeared all over America.http://digg.com/environment/Earth_Life_Threats_Alarming_Disappearance_of_Honey_Bees This is not cool. A third of all of our agriculture depends on these little creatures. We are not ready to deploy millions of nanobots either! We are not far enough along to make “The Age of Spiritual Machines” a reality. I knew Bush…
http://www.cnn.com/video/player/player.html?url=/video/us/2007/02/25/teselle.ca.stacking.competition.affl&wm=11 This is insane. We are the most competitive society EVER. The things we do to feel competition. Look at that kid crying! I am all in favor of being competitive, but stacking cups? Come on. I mean…come ON.
My wife often tells me. Never say anything bad about anyone or anything ever. And ESPECIALLY not in print, email or blog. She is wise. It reminded me of the first days of commadot.com. http://web.archive.org/web/19970618002257/www.commadot.com/beta/html/archive.htm I am starting to copy in those posts and edit the timestamp to match the original. http://www.commadot.com/index.php?paged=47 Hmm, I wonder…

Alice (Katie’s grandmother) died this week. She was a feisty old woman. She would would have turned 100 this year. I remember so vividly he telling Ben at Christmas, "I’m a wrapper!!" and crossing her fingers in a gang sign. She told great stories like when the first car arrived in town. She spoke alot…
How awesome is this?!? It's a view of Microsoft Live that has a flyby photo of my house. Super resolution! This is way better than Google Maps!
This may be the only prediction of its kind in the world. Vinny Testaverde will replace Tom Brady this playoff season at some point and lead the New England Patriots to a Superbowl win. Tom Brady will probably be taken out with a hamstring or related leg injury. Thus, Vinny will secure his legacy and…
The Jets lost, but they had a great season. Very young team. I am anticipating a good draft and a strong season next year. I am very happy with their performance. I am happy to make the prediction now. Next year, the Jets will win the Superbowl. I have been stressing out over Microsoft lately. …
Back to work. Learning more and more about online advertising. Reading The Ultimate Guide to Google Adwords. It's really poorly written. I don't suggest it. But I am gleaning info. I really need to become more proficient. Andy uses Adwords alot. I wonder if this link to his Teleco telephone installation company website helps his…
