Doing More With Less Since 1972
If you’re homeschooling, will be homeschooling, or are just interested in education and technology this is a really cool event happening on October 21st.
My first impression of Wolfram Alpha was, “this is perfect for kids who want to get a lot of information on a subject quickly.”
Feel free to implement this business idea. I only work in the abstract.
Ever notice how you always want Chick-fil-A on Sundays? I mean you crave it on Sundays, right? You do anything for a Chick-fil-A to be open on a Sunday, right?
The concept of Chick Delay is simple:
You’re welcomed.
Charlie Daniels circa 1978 versus all male “country” singers with songs currently in the Top 40. I’d pay to see that.
Healthcare: Time to Start Over
After all, isnt it better to get it done right than to just get it done?
If I thought it would do any good, I’d link to this article and suggest you read it. I’m worried we are collectively going on several faulty assumptions:
We Learned Good From The Romans
We look back at the Roman epoch with a sense of relief. We’ve learned so much since then. No longer do we consider our leaders to be gods among men. No longer do we hand them unearned and meretricious awards and prizes. We don’t turn on and destroy members of previous administrations. We don’t tolerate incompetent and corrupt sycophants in high office. We’ve learned to recognize disorders such as pathological narcissism and assure that the victims do not gain high office. Any president who placed his prestige on the line with an athletic contest would be laughed to scorn.
The Wrong Way To Pass A Class – Unfortunately, I think it may still work in many cases. This guy can probably pull on his own and doesn’t need any help from a strumpet like her. Good for him.
Business School For Free On iTunes – You even get a voice recording of someone reading a diploma at the end.
Death by Spork Would Be Torture in Deleware – The best outcome for this kid would be to NOT have to return to this band of idiots to be “educated”.
Pitfalls and Perils of Blogging – Some stuff to think about.
Willie Nelson’s Got a New Broadband Plan – It looks like a box full of networking equipment, but really you just put your weed in there.
Sifting Mountains of Data – When I retire, I’m going to sit on my back porch and whittle on data. All. Day. Long.
Digital Passive-Aggressive Communication – This articulates something I’ve been saying much better than I can articulate it myself. Wave combines the rapid fire communication of Twitter with the give and take (or “ignore”) of email. It just needs to be beefier at this point, and we need to train our brains to use it.
I Married a Mad Man – This sounds more like Mad Men: The Movie
The End of the Email Era – Someone faxed this to me. I made photocopies and sent it to several friends via USPS: "Email, stuck in the era of attachments, seems boring compared to services like Google Wave…"
Hot Pink Mess – Oh. My.
Rob Golding » phpBB3 WSOD (White Screen of Death) – Thanks to these guys for the solution. Short answer…log in to the admin panel and clear the cache. This is something they need to fix. Oh…maybe I should check for an update while I'm at it. 😀
10 things you need to stop tweeting about – I don't violate many of these too often. There are so many other ways to get people on Twitter mad at you without even trying.
The Nobel Intentions Prize – I'm so glad BHO won the Nobel Peace Prize. It's brought out the comedic genius in lots of people on Twitter.
Levels of business intelligence – Nice article that 'splains a lot.
Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize – "…some sort of bizarre Onion gag?" Now that's funny.
I picked up the HTC Hero for my Sprint account yesterday. So far, I love it. Of course, my last phone was the free one I got five years ago and hasn’t worked for a couple of weeks, so just about anything would have been an upgrade. You can read real a real review of the ins and outs at Gizmodo.
Me, I’ve installed Pandora and a compass app. Once I get my Exchange account to sync I will be complete. I do like the fact that you can run multiple apps at once and can expand the memory with a standard card. Other phones *cough*iPhone*cough* don’t do that.
I’ll be at practice on Tuesday. If you’re thinking about ditching, you need to watch this.
Breast-feeding mother sues airlines – I'm relatively sure we would have been asked to get off several planes for causing a disturbance if breast feeding were not allowed.
Get Outta My Face With That Crazy Talk! – This guy is claiming, get this, that the earth's temperature is mostly affected by that huge ball of fire in the sky.
What it Feels Like to Be a Libertarian – I can relate to this all too well. Sometimes I just wish I could a gangsta instead. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
Criminalizing everyone – There should be laws against making all these stupid laws.
Rangel: “Why don’t you mind your goddamned business?” – It's great to live in a country that allows you to walk up to these guys and ask them tough questions. If they were held accountable it would be even greater.
UT’s Band Director on the Hot Seat? – UT can't really fire its football coach this year. Guess they need to go after someone else. I'll be tuning into BandTalk later to see what Small Mike thinks we should do.
When Companies Get It Right – Aside from companies getting it right, it's also nice to see people write about people getting it right!
Mystery Google – Pretty funny site. It's sort of like pot-luck Taco Bell. Only different.
I’m wishin’ someone could explain this to me. It’s been bugging me for about 20 years now. Watch, then read…
If your best friend Harry has a brother Larry who is going to marry, isn’t it weird that Larry would ask you to be the best man at the wedding? Doesn’t it seem like he’d be more likely to ask Harry? I guess it’s plausible that you could be Larry’s best friend and Larry not be your best friend. But it seems like this is a best friend triangle you’d rather just not be a part of, especially considering that Larry and Harry are brothers.
I guess it’s possible that Harry is the one getting married and Young MC just mentioned off the cuff that Harry has a brother Larry…dunno.
Like I said, that’s been bugging me for 20 years. This, on the other hand, has been bugging me for 2 solid days:
Pelosi Open To The VAT – Gasp! Shock! What? She would actually consider a new tax? The hell you say!
Post Rapture Pets – No matter what you do or don't believe, you have to admit this is a smart business model.
There’s No Excuse For This – Windows mobile 6.5 – Just to needle @raowen: "It's an interim product, and a vain attempt to hold onto the thinning ranks people who still choose Windows Mobile despite not being somehow tethered to it until the tardy Windows Mobile 7 comes out, whenever that may be."
Moore proves Libertarians right – And being a libertarian is downright heart breaking: "I'd imagine it's like being a Cubs fan, except there usually isn't much hope for next year."
The iDontFart App – Proceed to AT&T store. There's now a reason to own an iPhone.
UT’s Supercomputer Breaks Petascale – Let loose the Kraken! My sources are telling me that a poor ol' country boy's head just exploded in the UTCC.
Apple Quits Chamber Of Commerce Over Global Warming – Apple isn't stupid. They realize there's too much green to be made in "green" to even begin to question it. This is a marketing and sales decision, not an environment/community decision.
What if Only the Rich Recover? – WSJ – Don't call it a comeback!
Promiscuous dispersal of your email address – "Sure, you'll get a lot of spam, but deleting spam is a lot easier than finding customers." Wow.
Playgrounds From the 70’s – Totally Awsumness
20,000+ Gmail, Yahoo, AOL Accounts Compromised [ALERT] – No one needs your password for anything. Period.
Plot to Stop Using The Dollar? – I was just thinking the other day that I may be better of getting paid in cigarettes, potato liquor and Levis.
Space Program Needs A Plan, And Fast! – Hmm….maybe we should wait a year or two to buy a house here?
Message In A Bottle Found This Weekend – Pretty cool. I hope my Star Wars action figures wash up some day.
Man arrested for tweeting G20 Pittsburgh cops’ location | No Silence Here – If the police don't want you to know where they are, they should wear invisible cloaks. Duh!
No Sympathy For Polanski – Newscoma – I can't believe even one person on the planet would defend this guy. Good for 'Coma!
You think I need @Mr_Schwartz to find funny videos for me? I threw him on the ground!
XKCD Strikes Again – While you’re at it, can I get a drink holder attached to the end of each arm?
Rich People Fleeing High Tax States – What? Unbelievable! The gov’ment should do something about this! 😛
Rowland Burris Blames Bush For Olympic FAIL – And I thought it was just because the IOC member are all racists.
Dell uses social media to gather employee ideas – This is going to be happening more and more as management becomes comfortable with the tools.
What Google Wave Can Do – I will be checking all of this out as soon as the people I invited get their invites. Right now, there’s no one for me to collaborate with.
10 Things Every Kumbaya Blogger Should Know | Copyblogger – When you solve actual problems, even if you (yikes) make a buck on it, you’re doing good work.
The Cocoa Beach Air Show | Metromix Brevard – If you aren’t able to get tickets to the Brevard/Miami rugby match this weekend, here’s another option.
Knoxville Rugby at Heart of Dixie Tournament – Look for Okie and Colonel Kurtz to make return appearances. We cannot guaranteed gravel slinging pickup trucks or soiled sofas.
Indian farmer’s daughter is most bad-ass woman in the world – Boing Boing – In a phenomenally bad-ass series of moves worthy of a Tarantino screenplay, 21-year-old Rukhsana Kausar attacked him with an axe, then shot him dead with his own gun.
Kids leave mother passed out drunk in minivan FLORIDA TODAY – So sad.
