Proactive Versus Reacti...

“You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.” – Steve Jobs This quote that I read from this blog entry really got me to thinking. So many products are built this way. Ask...

Verizon’s New Dro...

I think Verizon is misguided in its approach to the Droid ad campaign. Their latest one, shown here, seems to paint a made-up picture of the iPhone and then compare the Droid to that picture. But to anyone who has ever used an iPhone, the ad makes absolutely no sense. I can’t help...

A Really Cool Ninja DVD...

America’s original ninja Stephen K. Hayes just re-released his very first video as a new 2-DVD set and it’s on sale for $29.95! 50% off! He covers a ton of ninja training in this set, and it’s great to see him just after returning from his years in Japan with the...

Ninja Shuriken (Throwin...

For just a week, you can learn how to effectively throw those ninja stars that you had when you were a kid, and what’s more: get a “Kihon License”. The ninja were real. Their techniques worked. The shuriken was one of their effective...

Effortless Victory over...

Ninja Master An-shu Stephen K. Hayes has put a 3-DVD set on sale to celebrate his 60th birthday: Effortless Victory over Larger Attackers for $29.95. This is normally $89.95. I highly recommend this for those who are looking to avoid violence and gain a basic understanding of evading...

Chase Sends us WaMu Cus...

As most people know, one of the results of the current economic crisis is the fact that Chase is now the owner of Washington Mutual, where all of my banking is done.  Today I get a brand new ATM card in the mail. You read that correctly: An ATM card. Not a debit card with a MasterCard or...

Marco Pierre White'...

I’ve been a big fan of Gordon Ramsay’s U.S. and U.K. television shows “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmares”, so I was naturally curious to see the show of the man who apparently once trained Gordon, Marco Pierre White. I had never heard of...

Fox News is the Anus of...

At about 5:00 this evening I made a post on Twitter: “Find myself anxious to tune in to Fox News to see the inevitable idiocy that will ensue after Obama’s speech.” I was only able to watch maybe 20 minutes or so before giving up. Here are just a handful of lies, spins,...

Colts / Chargers 1st Qu...

There are four minutes to go in the first quarter and I’m thinking that the head coach of the Colts needs to take Manning out for a quarter or so and put in the backup QB. Call me radical, but Manning’s head just isn’t in this game (yet). He needs some time to calm down...

I Know I'm New Her...

…that sure didn’t look like pass interference by the Patriots to me in the 2nd quarter. The guy was in front of the Colt and tried to catch the ball. I know this is my first season as a football fan, but come...
