Some random thoughts… School is starting. For most kids, big whoop. But for some, a real and true Big Whoop. I don’t know what to make about education nowadays. We are spending more money on it, so I know we all care. I know venture guys who are big backers of online universities, like DeVry, [...]
A Quick Prediction for the Fall TV Shows: We Have a Winner
Posted in July 27th, 2010
Language Alert. I have liked William Shatner since he was Captain Kirk beaming that doofus Spock around the Galaxy, and I am so looking forward to him being Justin’s dad in the new comedy S*#$ My Dad Says. I am not sure how they are going to clean it up for the TV, but I [...]

Rock Stars at 65, 70 and 73
Posted in July 7th, 2010
Keith Richards at 65, Do you really think he gets up in the morning, looks in the mirror, and says “Keith, you marvelous looking rock star, don’t you ever die?” He might have already died, don’t you think? Ringo Starr turns 70 today. Tell me he doesn’t look better now than he did in 1964. [...]
Scott Adams and Me: Brothers-in-CFS

Posted in June 20th, 2010
Ed. Note: Remember those grade school days when you would brag about your dad? Some stories were real, others were fairly far fetched. Can you be BOTH Yogi Berra AND Superman? Over time, those larger-than-life dads, er, heroes, faded and became smaller, more real, flawed. It has been years since anyone asked me about my [...]
Why Soccer Won’t Catch On
Posted in June 14th, 2010
Ok, flamethrowers at the ready? I tried to watch some of the World Cup soccer the other day, the USA vs UK match, game, gaggle, whatever they call it. Frankly, the noise drove me crazy. Come to find out the noise was not swarms of bees but a horn that is popular at soccer events [...]
New BP Logos
Posted in June 2nd, 2010
I have this online friend, let’s call him Michael, who lives in Romania. (Thanks Al Gore, I love your internet.) He makes his living as a graphic artist…and I have used him with great results. So this morning I am watching the Morning News Shows where, no surprise, the news about BP’s oil spill dominates. [...]
