Lance: “He’s baaaaack” Lance Armstrong’s comeback tour

September 8, 2008

Once more into the Breach. I can still recall the time Michael Jordan chose to lace up his Nike’s one more time. It did not end well. An ignominious footnote to a stellar career, and a small but forgettable blemish upon one our planet’s finest athletes. Today Lance Armstrong announced that he too will again stand [...]

August 1, 2008

I thought I’d heard every possible story from tech support people – until today. A great new CMS tool, Remix, has come out with an update. I visited their site today seeking a solution and was told that tech support was unavailable. Seems their town of Surat India is under TERRORIST ATTACK. That’s a first. Here [...]

OK, I finally get Twitter…

July 8, 2008

In a previous post I pondered the proposition of Twitter. To Twitt or Not to Twitt. Open minded but skeptical, I said that I would try to see what all the fuss was about. I was unexpectedly surprised with what I discovered. More than just a self-aggrandizing podium for ego-centric technorati, though there is plenty of [...]

We are Not Men…We are Plantiffs

July 1, 2008

Don’t you love the old rock groups that recapture the public eye? Well, not always. The Strolling Bones can still kick it out, but a few others need to pack it up and move along. Remember Devo? Yes, that Devo. As in “Whip It” and a host of other widely forgotten tunes? Well they are [...]

Wesley Clark…A Man of No Shame

July 1, 2008

I respect Wesley Clark’s service to our country. Seriously injured in Vietnam, he recovered and has spent his career in the military. Respecting Clark the man however is quite another matter. I can respect him no more. His most recent act of utter arrogance was made on national television on Sunday. Given an opportunity to walk [...]

Traffic – Southern California and Beyond

June 30, 2008

Living in Southern California and traveling for businessÂ across the US, I am frequently asked about our legendary Southland traffic congestion (for the uninitiated, that’s everything from just north of Los Angeles to the Mexico border). Well, yes. It sucks. However, it sucks pretty much everywhere else too. In fact, many places are much worse. If you live [...]

Bye George, and Thanks for Asking “Why?”

June 30, 2008

In the Pantheon of great comedians, those that blazed trails, smashed barriers, and changed popular culture, none stand taller than George Carlin. A master of the language and an incredible comic talent, he used his gifts to actually change society’s norms. He gave voice to an entire generation, making it OK to challenge authority – [...]

Steampunk

June 30, 2008

If you’ve not heard of Steampunk, you are not alone. What an unbelievable visual tour de force. The look is hard to describe. My best shot was Retro-Nuevo-Chic-Techno-Deco, but even that comes up short. A friend is really in to this look and turned me on to it. The keyboard pics are just some of [...]

Obama: Old Book / New Cover

June 28, 2008

We are witnessing yet another transformation of Barak Obama. From darling of the left to champion of middle America. Changing his positions, tweaking views and morphing his rhetoric to fit his needs is something at which he excels. He is certainly not the first politician to pander – in fact we’ve come to almost expect [...]

Wanting a new main header for my Blogvious blog, I ventured into my photo archives for just the right picture. Well, an hour later I was still not sure what I wanted to use. I’ve visited and photographed many beautiful places, but San Diego is my home. I finally settled on a [...]

Scalia’s Got Your Gun…

June 27, 2008

Well, after generations of refusing to touch the issue, the Supreme Court ruled, in a majority opinion written by Justice Scalia, that the DC gun law is an unconstitutional violation of your 2nd Amendment rights. I’ll leave the penetrating analysis to constitutional law scholars, but the implications are far-reaching. Equally stunning was the sharp rift [...]
