Failure Friday: Potato Chips

November 30, 2007

First off, the most obvious failure I need to point out today is the lack of a post yesterday. One thousand apologies for a hectic day that sidetracked me enough to forego my blog. Shame…SHAME! The failure I wanted to showcase today originated from spite. Spite is pretty bad thing. I would hope you don’t [...]

Workplace Wednesday: Audio / Visual Technician

November 28, 2007

Many moons ago, I worked as an A/V Tech. Setting up sound systems, LCD projectors and such. You always had to think on your feet and be ready for anything. Negative thinking certainly applied. If you have anything wireless, say a microphone, you had to make sure it was charged and ready. You also had [...]

Monkey Monday: ROBO-APE

November 26, 2007

A startling development has occurred. The monkey menace has upped the ante, with the help of unsuspecting human stooges. From NewScientist.com: With the ultimate aim of allowing paralyzed people to walk again, a team at Duke University in Durham implanted electrodes in the brains of two rhesus macaques and analyzed the electrical signals that drive [...]

Failure Friday: The Pilgrims

November 23, 2007

This edition of Failure Friday isn’t a story of a complete failure. More a tale of potential failure. One I call “Plymouth Rocks (um…not so much)”. The pilgrims landed in the New World, trying to escape religious persecution in England. Their timing and preparation were pretty bad. From Wikipedia: On December 21, 1620, the first [...]

We are not alone!

November 20, 2007

It has been apparent to me for quite awhile that we are becoming a more isolated society. And I mean isolated as individuals. Thanks to cell phones, email, IM’s, Texting, voicemail and MySpace, we don’t need to actually interact face-to-face with nearly as many people as we used to. Remember when you called someone and [...]

Monkey Monday: Punkeys

November 19, 2007

More reports of harassing monkey punks, or “Punkeys” as I call them. It seems like it gets worse by the day. Look at what these monkeys are doing: From Yahoo! News: “Monkeys are wreaking havoc in my constituency by taking away mobile phones, toothpastes, sipping coke after opening the refrigerators,” Hiren Das told Assam state’s [...]

Continuing the theme from last week’s failure and due to the fact tonight I am hosting “Movie Night” for our Home Owners Association (think book club, without the reading!) I introduce to you a small sample of how failures can point you toward success. I give you: Indiana Jones. Arguably the best hero in cinema [...]

The myth of “Should”

November 15, 2007

I hear all the time, people complaining how they “Should” be able to do something. “I should be able to have a career and have a family and have a social life, etc.”They want it all, not knowing how much time, effort and work go into having “it all”. They see other people, people they [...]
