Apple just introduced new laptops this past week. But unfortunately they just aren’t there yet. Foolishly Apple is omitting some things that really should be there for people. And sometimes I think they must be looking at some competitors and deciding purposely not do what others are doing even if those ideas are good. To […]

Renew your plates on Missouri’s pile of trash plate-renewal website
March 28, 2008
It was that time again for me. Renew my plates. I used to go downtown and do it. Then I remembered that even though the lady at the desk and the ladies at the window are usually nice (when I’m prepared), everything else in between, the metered parking downtown on shitty one-way streets, the long […]
Mainstream media shows its maturity and balance again
December 22, 2007
Here’s how you write a good political headline:
Ron Paul Emerging As More Of A GOP Contender
This is from a CBS Denver Affiliate December 21st 2007. I can agree with it based on my own heavy news reading, although I believe he’s already well “emerged.” Considering he’s done well for months and months of […]
What makes websites lame
November 28, 2007
So I was reading this page, 21 Factors that influence website first impressions
I started writing this long comment on that posting, and after about 80,000 words I thought, “screw improving this guys site with my genius comment, I’m writing my own posting.”
So here it is with a dark and negative flavor. Let me start […]
Try not to anger your one true fan
May 31, 2007
I sent my mom a small stack of my new business cards in the mail before heading off to Japan. I was really proud of them because Juri and I collaborated on them for a considerable amount of time. The card was also meant to be the symbol of my new business. […]
I have no bookstores in my neighborhood
January 25, 2007
For whatever reason, the only bookstore in my neighborhood has closed up shop. They were given about fifteen days to shut down right after Christmas. It’s not a sad story of the small business being run out by a big dog, I mean it’s a Waldenbooks, owned by Borders. The store was […]
Gutenberg rolls over in his grave
June 9, 2006
I just started a project for a coworker who got married last night. And before I tell you about it, there is a quote “we will always do more for others, than we will do for ourselves” which is so very, very true.
The project is: Me and Tracey Zoeller are combining the photos we took […]
Terror in the heartland
April 10, 2006
Thank goodness. Kansas City has a Anti-terrorism organization in place to help protect us. They are called the Terrorism Early Warning Group. At their site, you can get references as pointless as recognizing suspicious packages.
I suppose we are going to be safer now that this group will be first with the information on terrorist attacks. […]
Charlie Sheen and 911
April 1, 2006
A couple people at work were talking about the actor Charlie Sheen, because this past week he did a radio interview where he basically states his stance on the 911 attacks. This stance being that there are too many unanswered questions. Buildings came down too fast perhaps.
One of the people who was in my training […]
Stadium woes
March 28, 2006
In the news again is a vote about renovating the stadiums here in Kansas City. I’ve been living with this crap my whole life, being from St. Louis and all the stadium BS that has gone on there. Now here in KC, they want to spend 700 million or more on a stadium overhaul which […]
