    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

Vancouver 2010 Olympics

With the official start of the winter games happening today, I’m having a good time this morning checking out various sites related to the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.  It’s particularly fun being close, now that I am back living in Seattle, WA, just a couple/few hours south of Vancouver, BC.  I may try to go up [...]

reward based on performance

Sounds pretty straight forward to me.  Let’s shit-can all the sucky teachers. I’m going back to watching physics lectures.

“CAUTION: For use with information technology equipment.”

“CAUTION: For use with information technology equipment.” That’s what it says on the bottom of my iPhone USB power adapter. While I think it’s pretty random, it’s probably equally as random that I read that small print on the bottom of that little thing. I guess I’m not the only one to notice. Ha!

In case you were wondering, this is funny.

Ok, so it’s a geek thing. It’s still funny. Twitter Suffers Minor Period Of Uptime Overnight For the non-geeks, what makes it funny is that it would normally be news if there was downtime, not uptime. Since Twitter has been down so much recently, this particular headline is funny. Ok, again, back to regularly scheduled, [...]

Bloody Brilliant!

Britain’s Got Talent – Michael Jackson It shows it’s 10 plus minutes long but it really ends after about 3:30. The one I’m posting here is by far the best quality one that I could find… Na, na, na, na, na, na! UPDATE: The “higher quality” one had some hiccups… I reverted back to the [...]

TV might just be interesting enough to watch again.

I just saw commercials for 3 ok shows on NBC tonight.  And, one is on right now that’s not so bad.  Is “must see tv” back? Heck, I have no idea.  I haven’t had much interest in TV lately.  Time.  Responsibilities.  Travel.  Whatever… I think TV has just sucked for a few years now.  Movies [...]

Happy 25th Birthday to the Compact Disc

Among other interesting timeline facts, here’s one interesting tidbit. “Philips’ plan for a CD with a 11.5cm diameter had to be changed when Sony insisted that a disc must hold all of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The longest recording of the symphony in record label Polygram’s archive was 74 minutes and so the CD size was [...]

Where is my mind?!?!

WCCO.com: Welcome To March Snowstorm

Check out these fun snow storm pictures!  (I say fun, because I grew up in MN and can relate to and enjoy these.)  BTW, these pictures show a “real” snow and a “real” reason to close work and school.  Even with this much, many of my friends and family were still wondering if school or [...]

multiple odds; what’s in a name or a name

I wonder what the odds are that in a 48 hour period I would have emails from two different people named Ron, two different people named Heather and two different people named Kerri/Kerry.  To complicate that, I talked with 4 of the 6 on the phone, as they called me and said, “Hi, this is ___.”  [...]
