Bart Simpson will always be 10 years old

January 28, 2009

Here is the secret to the sustainability of The Simpsons: Bart Simpson will always be 10 years old.
At first, this statement seems a bit puzzling, but think about why other social media icons have fallen away. The Brady Bunch grew up, the kid from Two and a Half Men is now a teen-ager, Eddie from [...]

Obama uses a MacBook Pro?

January 22, 2009

This photo appeared in the Wall Street Journal and the NY Times. Probably others. Thanks Pete Souza, Official White House Photographer. I’m not sure if we can use these photos. Do tax dollars pay for the official White House photographer? Pretty sure someone will slap my paw if I’m wrong.

Congratulations, Mr. President

January 20, 2009

Following that speech, my new resolutions for 2009 and beyond are:
- To reject negative thinking and reject anyone who says, “That is not possible” and seek out those who say “How can we do that.”
- To reject any and all who speak racists comments and to speak up without hesitation, whether friend or not.
- To [...]

Round up all the web geeks and pelt them with pebbles

January 12, 2009

I just spent the last hour of my life fighting with some CSS that works perfectly in Safari and MESI 7.0, but not in MSIE 6.0 or the “standards compliant” Firefox whatever version it is now. Since I am working pre-coffee, pre-office hours from a laptop on my kitchen table, I don’t have the luxury [...]

Some things I know

December 20, 2008

I just got done speaking with an American Express rep to pay my bill. I had to call them because I missed the bill pay window between 3:00-7:00am where their web site will actually work to pay my bill.
It got to think about stuff I “know” to be true, even though other dogs swear they [...]

Not entirely an accurate analogy on Net neutrality

December 18, 2008

Found this analogy about Net neutrality and depite its convincing face, it is not entirely accurate.
Say there was no deal cooked up between Telus and the big pizza chain and everyone was competing equally. But, the local pizza place decided it would make a really delicious, super-duper pizza that everyone wanted, but was not going [...]

I hate AT&T Wireless

December 16, 2008

I hate AT&T Wireless. I hate them with all the rage and visceral hatred reserved for really crappy bosses and ungrateful relatives. Here’s why.
I have an iPhone. The only way I can make an iPhone work is to connect it up to the AT&T Wireless suck-o-meter. AT&T knows this and they press their advantage. Only [...]

Pay attention to the news cycle and do something with it

September 13, 2008

Yesterday, I received the monthly issue of Association News, read the front cover and was immediately in awe of the level to which this organization is paying attention to the world around them.
One could say that the choice of featuring Arizona was merely coincidental or that the state was next on the calendar [...]

We got bears!

September 12, 2008

I was poking around the Anchorage Daily News this evening, reading up on Palin and TrooperGate. I noticed that the newspaper had a bear sightings gallery.
Well, that certainly beats the 937pets.com that we have here at the Dayton Daily News.
Go Alaska. Go bears
Thanks AKMuckraker at MudFlats for the trip north to [...]

Seeing change…

July 17, 2008

We found a different path today and as I was sniffing around on the ground, I came upon this whole line of dead worms in the gutter along the blacktop. Apparently, at some point, there was a lot of water in the gutter and life was good. But, then the heat of the day came [...]

Moving Day

July 15, 2008

It is moving day for my office and I am doing my best to help out. All of those little specks of white are tiny styrofoam balls from the boxes that the new desks were packed in.

Tenacious Spider

July 15, 2008

Every morning as we step out of the front door to go on our walk, I glance at the mailbox to the left and a spider will have built a web during the night. Sometimes there will be breakfast in it, sometimes not.
Every morning, I take the newspapers and swipe the web away.
Not sure [...]

Eat dessert first

July 14, 2008

I read the Wall Street Journal. I have since I was a young puppy when I got my first job at Dog Pound, Inc. While my peers always flipped to the Money sections, checked the stock quotes, etc., the first section I read was MarketPlace. This is where all the “life” bits happened which drove [...]

What I want

June 14, 2008

What I want is to go to sleep at the end of each day, knowing that I made the world just a little bit better for being me. Sometimes that takes a bit of watering, some fertilizer, a soft nuzzle, a goofy grin, the “walk dance” or a bit of pouting on rainy days. And [...]

Scott McClellan from a dog’s point of view

May 31, 2008

There is a lot of talk about Scott McClellan’s new book. Comments from it range of “now, we know the truth” to “he is bitter” to … oh, who really cares. Just everyone shut up already. If you want, buy and read the book, if not, just quit talking like you know anything.
Here is the [...]

Memorial Day

May 22, 2008

As I was lifting my leg to bless the Englewood Independent lying on my doorstep this morning, the front page article caught my eye. So, I bent down to read it before soaking it. The main headline read “Memorial Day: Remembering those who preserve freedom.”
It was a good article about Air Force Capt. Bob Everdeen [...]

Ambulances

May 19, 2008

Ambulances hurt my ears, but whenever one passes, it reminds me that no matter how bad my day is, someone else is having a worse one. And I say a small prayer for him/her and then a short prayer of thanks for myself. Then, I let all my stress go and slow down.
