How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Sprint
The following is a letter I wrote to Joseph De Avila of the Wall Street Journal in response to his recent article about why some apple fans won’t buy the iPhone. I’m one of those apple fans that owns quite a bit of their products. Here’s my run-down of products: brand new iPod shuffle (red) product from the new ipod line 17″ powerbook (2004 model) 14″ ibook (2004 model) 17″ iMac (2006 model) Apple TV (it’s about 2 weeks old) airport base station (wireless device – 2004 model) Have owned several ipods in the past including the 4th gen 20gb...
Read MoreNow What?
It would appear that I’ve read everything on the Internet there is to read. A nice little easter egg from the development crew at Google. Spotted this today after reading a post on the Official Google Reader Blog called “Doing the Shuffle” which has a video of Robert Scoble showing some efficieny tips on how to go through over 600 RSS feeds extremely quick. I myself only have a little over 60 feeds and I’m always looking for ways to get through them quicker especially the ones that accumulate new stories by the hundreds every day such as Digg and Lifehacker to name a...
Read MoreOh, the Places I’ll Go
I would have never imagined that by now I would have been to as many places as I’ve been. All of my trips out of the United States were related to my service in the military except for a small trip across the border into Canada in 1994. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had and the experiences that I’ve encountered. Currently I’m in my “Waiting Place” looking forward to whatever comes next. I just thought it would be cool to see where I have been and where I have yet to go. I feel like I’ve already been to so many places but after looking at the map below, I’ve...

It’s Over…or is it? I would not hold your breath for another season of this show, but it was a little odd to hear the promos for it described on Fox as the “Season Finale” as opposed to the “Series Finale.” Could have just been an oversight but for a show that had a checkered future already, it would’ve been nice if Fox was a little more clear about it’s fate. Regardless, if it is the end, it was certainly a great ride for a great ensemble. For the life of me I can’t understand why no one ever watched the show. Award winning show – mind you. Oh well, such is...

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin told local radio station WWL-AM exactly what he expected the federal government to do in response to Hurricane Katrina’s wrath. Clearly a public official under enormous pressure to deliver to his constituents demands, I saw an elected official finally do what you “NEVER” see them do. Demand, demand, demand! If you want a concrete view of what is really happening in New Orleans, you have got to listen to the audio-cast on CNN.com or read the transcript of the interview that the Mayor gave to WWL Radio. It’s incredible. And it’s the kinda thing we...
Read More2nd Chance for 2nd Season
Just a friendly reminder to tune in this Friday @ 7:00 pm on FOX to watch one of the best new comedies on television. I got on the bandwagon late on this one, completely missing season 1 in 2003. This spring I caught up with the DVD’s on Netflix thinking I’d have to do the same for season 2. But, luckily the “Powers That Be” at Fox Broadcasting Company have decided to push this show out in marathon type chunks over the course of five Fridays. The first 2 hour marathon starts this friday and includes the first four episodes of season 2. My understanding is that the season 2 reruns are...
