I recently wrote an entry titled “Nobody Surprised That Obama Gets Nomination” and without doubt, Obama getting the Democratic nomination was so anti-climactic it wasn’t funny. I’m even surprised the news people watched. The whole thing was a foregone conclusion from the start. I am not a hamster, I need at least [...]

But that, my friends is the blessing, the curse that was avoided is something that online oldtimers will remember from years back. It was in the form of an email that made the rounds several times. It also got posted on countless newsgroups and forums. The content was something that made car buyers shiver and think “God I hope that isn’t gonna happen”.

I don’t normally pass on forwards but this one is too good not to. It’s one of those things that comes out of the collision of conspiracy theories and a good sense of humor.

I was watching some of the Olympic coverage tonight and caught the part where they were talking about the age requirements for competitors was that they had to be 16 years old for the calendar year of the Olympics.

How many people remember “Signs” by Five Man Electrical Band? I’ve been surfing around YouTube again and ran across that old favorite from the ’70’s that’s been set to slideshow. What I found interesting is that the video didn’t make a whole lot of use of modern digital signage. I am not [...]
