Apple to Make Remote Obsolete? – Because sitting on your ass staring at a screen just isn’t easy enough yet. For some people, the only exercise they get is lifting sofa cushions to look for the remote. How to Get a Personalized Financial Plan Without Spending a Fortune – Awesome idea, but not sure if I like the idea of giving up the personal attention. Then again, I don’t like Read More ...
The fact that PETA is suing Sea World for enslaving orcas is ridiculous on so many levels. These are killer whales. They lost all their constitutional rights when they violated the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of food of the seals and fish they devoured while they were in the wild. I consider their imprisonment justice for their misdeeds. Doing flips and splashing me with their tails a few Read More ...
You don’t need to see their tax returns.
These aren’t the CEOs you’re looking for.
They can go about their business.
Move along.

Sorry…I just had to post what I saw on Twitter today:
Um…sure. Ok.
Actually, this response was much better:
And now you're the Jose Canseco of the 2000's. RT@JoseCanseco: Maybe I was the babe Ruth of the 80's

Real quick…two articles in Mashable today that should give Facebook a clue:
Sean Parker (a FB shareholder) notes that Facebook’s power users are moving to Twitter and Google Plus
and
Users surveyed dislike Timeline.
What do these have in common? It’s the perception that users’ privacy is being chipped away too rapidly. For instance, I think Timeline is awsum! I want to look at my Timeline…what a great tool! It’s just that I want to be able to lock it down and only show it to a few people (or no one).
What if Facebook’s default position was to make all new features super-private in the beginning and give users a chance to adjust to them and open up themselves instead of forcing everything to be public and ratcheted down? They continually come at things from the wrong direction.
UPDATE
And teens will leave Facebook for Google+? I’ve said it before…they really screwed up by putting off that IPO.
Facebook Missteps and Shortcomings – Exhibit F. Heart Rate Training Zone Calculator – Will have to do until I write one. Which will be tomorrow plus infinity. Page Speed Online – Woot…super useful tool. Will the New Facebook Lead to Information Overload? – What he said. Google Financing Solar Installations – This looks interesting.

This could be a long-ish post for me, but I’m going to try to keep it short and sweet. I’m done with my time in the Clydesdale division. It was fun, but it has really just held me back. The last race I ran I was struggling to keep my weight above 200 for the last few weeks of training. How much faster could I have gone if I’d let Read More ...
Ok, so I have some questions about the whole “Occupy” movement. Not trying to be a jerk here, even though that will surely be the way it’s interpreted. There are just some things I don’t get about this movement. I don’t think what they are doing is wrong or a bad idea necessarily, I’m just not sure they are doing it for the right reasons or if they’ve thought about Read More ...
Sad day. Whether you are with Apple or again’ ‘em, you have to admit that Steve Jobs did more that any other single person to raise our expectations of Apple and every other tech company. And now, a 1984 episode of “The Facts of Life” entitled “Dear Apple” where Jo has a Siri-esque conversation with a computer named “Steve”. “The Facts of Life” writers were visionaries as well.
I’ve shared plenty of photos from my phone on Google+, but in the last couple of days I’ve started uploading larger albums there. The display of photo albums within Plus is very nice (waaaaaaaay cleaner than Facebook), and if you upload through Plus instead of Picasa, your photos get auto-resized and don’t count towards your Picasa limits: If you’ve signed up for Google+ Free storage limits Photos up to 2048 Read More ...
I’ve been going back and forth for a while on what should be done about Facebook in my particular case. It would be kind of nice to eliminate it completely since I don’t ever post there, but there are some work-related advantages to being there that I just can’t deny. Oh, and I also need a FB account to use Spotify. My first thought was to go to an extreme Read More ...
