Vimeo is a steaming pile of shit
Civil enough Vimeo? For the second time, I have had my account summarily deleted from Vimeo’s web site – each for stupid reasons. Keep in mind, I was also a paying customer at the time. Also, keep in mind that paying for video hosting when YouTube is readily available, has a much MUCH larger community,...
Would it kill you to be negative once in a while?
I say it is alright to harbor a negative, or critical thought every once in a while. Some people do not, and I guess that is their right. But the truth is, if you never have a negative thing to say, or that you think EVERYTHING and EVERYONE is awesome, all the time, then something...
What Apple doesn’t do well – iBooks
Despite being a huge Apple fanboy, even I have to admit that there are certain things that Apple doesn’t do well at. I’ve got serious questions about the quality of several products that Apple has launched, anything from the Apple TV to Mobile Me. Even have a few gripes about little things like the Apple...
Really bad blogger makes lots of money
Today was a historic day for fat blowhards. That’s right, Michael Arrington sold his blog Techcrunch to AOL. My immediate (and present) reaction to this news was that I really hope AOL spent less than a million to buy the site, because Techcrunch is (and always has been) a pretty mediocre site for news. My...
Online ordering but no online order status?
IKEA doesn’t believe in that for some reason. Only retailer I have run across that had an extensive online catalog and ecommerce site which does not allow you to see the status of your order online. For that matter, they don’t appear to send you receipts of transactions to email either. I hit up their...
The need for “good” alternatives to Google
My disillusion with Google has been years in the making. I know I’ve written about it before on my blog so i won’t go into a deep dive on those thoughts. Maybe, just maybe my related posts plugin will find it so i don’t have to go searching through hundreds of posts. But, the latest...
Don’t Be Evil huh?
I actually lost respect for Google a long time ago. Back when I worked at TCCWCBN (The Career College Which Can’t Be Named) we spent about 300k a month on Google Adwords. Back then, that was more than almost every online retailer was spending with Google. We’re talking like, 8 years ago, when Google Adwords...
Politics sucks
Lately i have become increasingly disillusioned with the state of, well, our entire government and country. It just seems to me that a 50/50 split between liberals and conservatives is absolutely devastating to our ability to get anything done, or even more fundamentally, get along with each other. I don’t remember there being a time...
Boring blogging
Lately my blog posts have become very boring. Too much self censorship and talking about life’s mundane details. I’m constantly engaged in an internal battle where I worry about being perceived as only writing negatively about things. But, as i go back and read my own writings, it is the rants that are the most...
Circle Jerk Free
I swear I am not in a bad mood, but I’ve got a lot of negative things to say today for some reason. Although i rarely ever self-censor my writing or speech, even to clients when i was working in an agency, I tended to not go out of my way to really point out...
Career Colleges
I would never, ever recommend someone earning their degree from a career college - its a recipe for going broke and not dramatically improving yourself.
Health Insurance: Don’t Mess With Mine
Affordable health care should be something everyone has, rich or not. Really, who gives a shit if the government provides it. As long as someone is, I don't really care.
