Small Dead Animals strikes again...
August 22, 2009 We Regret The Redundancy Los Angeles Times : TV listings: The Prime-Time TV grid in Thursday’s Calendar section mistakenly listed MTV’s “Jackass” show on the MSNBC cable schedule at 7 and 10 p.m. where instead MSNBC’s “Countdown With Keith Olbermann” should have been listed. h/t Posted by Kate at August 22,...

OK, I think I am done with complaining about media...
So I will ignore all of the items in this article that were neither fact checked or even questioned by the reporter.  However, there is one quote I cannot let pass. ”Obama canceled a planned appearance on the cult comedy program “Saturday Night Live…” Does anyone really think Saturday Night Live has been a cult comedy since Dana Carvey was on it in the 80’s.  Church...

Charlie Gibson exposes media as biased?
Charlie Gibson’s interview of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin was “aggessive” and presented a “double-standard” compared to the media’s handling of Democrat Presidential candidate Barack Obama.  Even the UPI had some critical words for the handling of the interview. The most compelling paragraph of the article is this: ”The context of the...

Recession, what recession
Not surprisingly perhaps capital expenditures by energy providers (power plants, refineries, LNG facilities) do not seem to be suffering from the general malaise that has enveloped the retail and commercial companies.  This goes to show that the major energy (especially the big oils) companies of the world are not hording profits, they are expanding for future growth. Between the level of...

I am getting better at failing faster
I was reminded by a friend of the beautiful thing that is the Opera web browser. It is blazing fast, it has a great e-mail function with the world’s most awesome e-mail search function and it is free.  What more could you ask for… I am glad you asked.  There are two things I would ask for: 1) The ability to send and handle read receipts on e-mails.  It is not a deal killer for me, I...

Kicking myself for missing an opportunity to make...
One of our competitors has gone through some difficult times lately. One of their most senior people has a stellar reputation in our business. Having been through similar circumstances, I gave some thought in June to opening up a line of communication with him to let him know that if the corporate politics got to be too much, we might have a home for him at our company. You know what they say,...

Why we should vote for a Democrat this November
That is probably not the headline my friends would expect to see here, but Bob@OilfieldTrash offers some interesting insights into why he is voting Democrat this election season.  He almost has me convinced.  Thanks Bob, for opening my eyes.Posted by email from Smilin’ Bob’s Cafe of Thought (posterous) | Comment »

I haven't a clue...
…about what all of this social networking is about.  I have Twitter, I have FriendFeed, I have Facebook, I have MySpace, I have… well, I must have something else.  And this is how I use them: MySpace: Haven’t been on it in months.  Too much crap, not enough meat. Facebook: I get on occasionally, but it has mostly served as an opportunity for others that I have lost touch with to...

ScribeFire is cool
OK. This is stupid, I know… but I finally downloaded ScribeFire for Firefox and it is pretty cool. If you are smart, you will stop reading at this point and go back to your coffee and newspaper. If it isn’t already obvious, I am not a blogger. Someday, maybe, but not now. This tumblog is mostly an easy place to store net junk that has no other home for me. Now to push the publish...

It is a bone-chilling 62 deg. I am on the back of the bus where the ride reminds me that I really did not need to eat that cotton candy that my wife made me eat. I am so weak for sugar. Beats the crap out of easy Mac!
