Not a Tear

Wow. Once upon a time stories like this would make me happy, excited, something. Now, nothing. I’m happy for them that they get to finish their tour but I don’t think I’d take a ticket if someone gave me one. Don’t get me wrong. I love him dearly, I always will, but I no [...]

The One That Got Away

It’s a rare occasion that I walk down the street without my iPod headphones on, but I was doing that earlier today and when walking past the Express, I overheard two girls behind me talking. “He’s kind of, like, the one that got away,” one said to the other before launching into a story. I [...]

$10 More

They’ll steamroll you if you let them.

I’ve been unhappy with my spotty DSL service ad I was researching a possible switch to Verizon. I went to both their homepages and looked at their prices. That was when I noticed I was still being charged $49.95 before taxes per month even though Earthlink’s highest listed price [...]

No Kidding

This is from CNN:
President Bush’s penchant for writing exceptions to laws he has just signed violates the Constitution, an American Bar Association task force says in a report highly critical of the practice. The ABA group, which includes a one-time FBI director and former federal appeals court judge, said the president has overstepped his authority in [...]

Israel, Stand Down

What do they think they’re doing? Just who do they think they are? If any other country did what Israel’s doing, they’d be immediately black-listed, despised, and universally regarded as committing an act of aggression. So far, Israel hasn’t received any kind of tough-lashing by any world leader. Why is that?

Israel, stand down.

Net Neutrality

This illustrates the problem exactly for those less than technically astute. And it’s funny. Dear apathetic Americans, this is a huge problem if you let this bill get through Congress.

Azzurro

What a wonder is technology. I was watching World Cup clips on YouTube and stumbled across a clip of the Italian football team recording a song for charity. In the comments section, someone said the song name was “Azzurro”, a traditional Italian song. Since I need to practice my Italian for October, I saw this [...]

The Headbutt

I guess I’ll weigh in before moving on. This will be the only and last time I’ll say anything about it since buckets of virtual ink have been spilt on the subject already.

In case you’ve been living under a bridge and subsisting on water alone for the last week, you’ve undoubtedly heard about French captain [...]

Journler

This is a test. It’s a journaling, blogging, scrap knowledge management program. I think I might like it. This is a test to see how it works.

Mac users, you can get it for free and then donate if you like it. I think I may have spent too much on that Notebook program…

The World’s Game

I’ve never followed a World Cup before. I live in the only country on Earth that doesn’t care about it. It’s a culture gap, an awfully arrogant culture gap, I know. Over the last four years due to travel and European friends, footballers from various teams were introduced to me chiefly Roy Keane (Ireland/ Manchester [...]

Mudslinging Comcast

I read an article in the paper today about how customers are taking out their frustration with customer service by posting about it on the web instead of writing the companies and having their complaints disappear into a Black Hole (every company has one). The article quotes examples like the Comcast employee sleeping on a [...]
