In This Year of Political Calls For Change
I decided to make a few changes in my career today. Well, I didn’t actually decide today. I just put the wheels in motion officially. So there’s a good chance that I’ll be available for anyone who needs BI, software development, or sys admin work done. Of course, only high rollers need apply. I hit [...]
Why and How Ron Paul Will Run Third Party
Justin at Donklephant criticizes him for staying in the Republican race, but I don’t think he sees the full picture. But no, keep chasing a GOP nomination that you have no hopes of winning. Throw good money at a losing cause. Good luck with that. If I were Ron Paul, I’d be thinking just the [...]
About Yesterday…
Newscoma has an interesting post this morning about the three big stories yesterday–the economy, Thompson exiting the Presidential race, and Heath Ledger’s death–and how they were covered by the media. In rooting around the Internet yesterday, as I was a blogging fool for about five different websites, the most response I saw about all of the [...]
Two Hours Late
Driving in this morning I was listening to all the school and business closings. Several of them were running “two hours late.” Here in the South, the slightest bit of snow or ice is enough to cause schools to open either one hour late, two hours late, or close altogether. Basically, those are the only [...]
Numerous Results and Micro Pimping
I thought I’d go ahead and address several things in one post–recent scientific polls, Christmas shopping, and my numerous (un)successful endeavors. First Annual Backlink Drive–a resounding success. I picked up a link from it (thanks Ivy!). Rico/Suave–by a majority of eleven to four, many more of you are “suave” than “rico”. Gerardo respects and appreciates [...]
Will Ron Paul Be Left Out of Iowa Debates?
USA Daily reports that Fox News and the Iowa GOP are trying to exclude candidates polling below 5% from the December 4 debates in Iowa. I’m not sure whose poll they are using for this, but I’m a little suspicious of the polling process to begin with. Wouldn’t it make more sense if polls were [...]
The Real Crisis
As I huffed, puffed, and struggled through a short run at what should be a comfortable pace in cool weather this morning, I had a little bit of an epiphany: We don’t have a health care problem. We have a health problem.
Top Marathoner Dies in New York
The craziest thing about this story to me is that he was only 6 miles in. As they mention in the video, autopsy results are pending. It is very scary to think that something like this can happen to a top athlete with unbelievable endurance. Scary and very sad.
Some Shameless Pimping For WidgetBucks
I try to keep advertising to a minimum here for loyal readers by doing a few things. First of all, no ads in my RSS feed for subscribers, although there will be one at the end of this one as an example. Secondly, I only put adsense in the middle of older posts after they [...]
CNBC’s Open Letter To Ron Paul Supporters
I came across this by way of Seth Godin who very correctly makes two important points. A web poll is nothing but a traffic stunt. Which makes this note from Allen Wastler at CNBC so ridiculous. They ran a gimmicky poll, the results didn’t turn out the way they wanted so they took it down [...]
