I’ve been hanging out on a few heavily-conservative forums to see what the signal to noise ratio is on these sites and it’s pretty much what I expected. Understand that I see the same sort of examples on liberal sites as well especially on sites like Media Matters and Huffington Post. Liberals on sites such […]

I previously covered the initial buying experience of the Motorola Droid and then posted about the physical make-up of the phone. Now I want to delve into actually using it. Starting Out After some brief setup where you need to provide the phone with a (seemingly) required Gmail account you can get into using the […]

This is a more in-depth look at the make-up, layout and features of the Motorola Droid phone from a physical sense. The first entry covered the actual background and buying experience. So how is the Droid to use? So far I must say I’ve been quite blown away by the experience. The things possible with […]

When it comes to cell phones I’ve pretty much been living in the middle ground of technology. I outgrew the most basic phones the various providers offer. I now demand certain minimal basics like easy text messaging, comprehensive contact lists, some access to games, etc. Verizon has been a decent provider for me in that […]

I encountered a story yesterday that took place a century and a half ago. The story is about a very successful businessman who finds himself surrounded, on all fronts, by laggards and layabouts. Everyone wants to take advantage of him. His workers are never thankful for the opportunities he has created for them. The only […]

Unless you’re from the New York 23rd district chances are that you’d likely never heard of it prior to all the publicity it received regarding input from Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and all the conservative talkers. It was being called a referendum on President Obama but now that the Democrat, Bill Owens, has apparently won […]

I had an interesting interaction with AMC the last few days. After my comments on Friday I decided to really get to the bottom of the concerns I had and did some digging. I finally found their corporate contact info on a business-related site and called their Vice President of Operations. I didn’t actually reach […]

I recently have been writing about my disdain for AMC Theaters and I wanted to mention that I’ve been trying to contact the right people to try to at least reach someone in a position of authority that can explain to me why the experience at an AMC theater has to be so awful. The […]

Listening to Sean Hannity on the way home from a doctor appointment today and he’s once again screwing up every reality we have all lived through. He finally got to one of his big rallying cries to suggest President Obama is taking us into socialism and asking the seemingly powerful question, “Where has socialism ever […]

I think one thing that I can find wide support for across this country is that a large percentage of people have real concerns about the honesty and integrity of many car repair shops whether they’re at dealers, chains or independent (like at a local gas station). I’ve been driving (and owning) cars since 1982. […]

An NBC news station is reporting that a 3-month old baby in Denver is not eligible for health care coverage because he’s simply too big. If you don’t know how it works babies and children are measured in terms of percentiles against the average. Little Alex Lange is in the 99th percentile which means he’s […]

President Obama has been chosen as the winner of the latest Nobel Peace Prize. Now the PR campaign has begun by the Right to paint the award as a “popularity contest” and one that they don’t recognize or don’t want to be associated with. Back when I voted for Obama I stated that my main […]
