I’ve talked about this before, but since I’m on the move again, grocery shopping is out and fast food is back in. Here are three thoughts that have occurred to me while waiting for my order at the nearest three fast food joints: When I was in college, a “Thirsty two ouncer” from AM/PM was […]
Golf and I is the story of me trying to avoid anything resembling real exertion. I started golfing when I joined J.V. Golf in high school to avoid the stigma of Physical Education. Like J.V. Baseball (which provided for me spring’s version of J.V. Golf), J.V. Golf was full of rejects like me who couldn’t […]
My last blog entry reminded me of something that happened to me in graduate school. My first four years on my bike, I hadn’t a single flat. That summer day I was riding to Florida Ave. for pickup soccer and I was late. In the apartment, I grabbed my bike, slung my cleats across my […]
My last tires were Avocet Road 30 700x23C kevlar. I’m always partial to road tires with the least amount of tread on them and I love the head-turning advertising Avocet did on these back in the early 90’s. When I saw a pair on closeout, I had to buy a few to keep around in […]
Wow! This is shaping up to being an interesting year. Pretty soon, I might not ever feel the need to blog about politics (vent).
Ringo started out as Monster’s attempt at making a social network. This makes a lot of sense: like mashups, social networking can be seen as a possible disruptive technology threat to Monster’s core business: job search (a form of vertical search). I’ve already mentioned job mashups in the past, but last year’s breakout success of […]
I received an e-mail Yesterday from Plaxo: This was a fun project that allows you to tell this year’s fortune for your friends. When you combine it with the new holiday borders you’ll have a pretty cool card! It’s completely free so try it out. [More about how the page was made after the jump.]
A recent article in the New York Times discusses a bunch of Google competitors. Is this me or does this sound so 2002? I wonder if “out-googling” Google is such a great idea in the first place. If barrier to entry is truly as low as the article claims, then why do it at all? […]
Morning coffee seemed like a good idea. I never have a regular sleeping schedule, I had 18 holes ahead of me (for the first time in two years), and it was 7 in the morning. My father says hi to man behind the register. He asks about me. “I live in the Bay Area,” I […]
Since I don’t get to watch broadcast/cable TV much, I’m getting my fix from my father’s new DISH Network. Besides the obvious debut of hard alchohol adds, one for the Samsung BlackJack caught my eye. Perhaps it’s because I’m planning on switching services to Cingular. But since I set up the 802.11, I just popped […]
