SXSW – on a Mission from Dog

March 15, 2010

I was given a marvelous opportunity recently, namely representing DogWalkBlog at SXSW. Jumped on that offer immediately, because who wouldn’t??
I was also given a few tasks to accomplish while I was there, mostly along the line of “see if you can find Chris Brogan, aka @chrisbrogan, and say “hi” to him. Some of [...]

Insurance companies should fear people like Dr. Dave Ores more than any health care reform bill

November 16, 2009

While the politicians in Washington argue about how many uninsured people there really are, call each other liars and debate over eleventh-hour amendments, real people with real lives are not waiting around for some edict to determine their destiny. They get fed up, roll up their sleeves and get the job done themselves. And [...]

Experts, experts everywhere

September 26, 2009

Yesterday on our afternoon walk, Sallie was having a bit of trouble walking straight and she was getting her leash all tangled up in my legs, so since we were only a block and a half away from home, I unsnapped it and kept walking. A few minutes later, I hear this woman yelling at [...]

Sometimes a dog is just a dog

February 20, 2009

The New York Post issued a statement about the infamous chimp cartoon published Wednesday. (Here if you need to see it.) At the end they stated “Sometimes a cartoon is just a cartoon – even as the opportunists seek to make it something else.”
First, let me remind everyone that this is the New York Post [...]

Be careful what you send people, they may just laugh at you with the world watching

January 23, 2009

This is just funny and clever stuff because it is in context. The dogs leaping into the pool isn’t bad viewing either.

And if you are a lawyer or a company with a lawyer and feel the need to send me a cease and desist letter, for anything I have done, said or will do and [...]

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.

How we are all connected

January 21, 2009

Today, I heard from a long-time reader who emailed me just to let me know she was still reading and that she had been enjoying the blog ever since she first saw it.
Wow! Whenever I get an email like this, it is truly a humbling experience. Even though the DogWalkBlog gets lots of traffic, when [...]

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 [...]

Why do we keep eating?

January 17, 2009

Why do we eat? The simple answer would be that if we did not eat, we would die. But that is not entirely true. Science can provide us with a pill we can take that would provide exactly the nutrition we need — no more, no less — to keep our bodies healthy. Yet, we [...]

I was rejected by AdAge

January 11, 2009

I received an email from Charlie Moran yesterday, stating that my blog was just not good enough for them to care about at AdAge. Here is his email.
Thanks for submitting your blog to the Power 150. Unfortunately, because of high demand, we can only accept applicants who score at least 20 total objective points, that [...]

Extra blogging stuff pulled from my brain

January 5, 2009

I collect newspaper clippings for blog ideas. Mostly, the articles are things that sent my blood pressure over the edge or got me wondering “what if it were different” or just things that make me go “hmmmmmmmmmm..”
These clippings sit on my desk, tugging at me to write a blog post about them. But there [...]

Another reason people are pissed off on the bank bail-outs

January 2, 2009

I pulled into my National City drive thru and this is what greeted me. I waited for almost 30 minutes before it was my time to send my deposits through the tube-hole.

Hey, banks! Why do you thing the average Joe on Main Street is pissed off at all this bail-out stuff? Use some of the [...]

What the Wii?

December 22, 2008

I returned from my walk this morning to a tweet from Guy Kawasaki about how injuries caused by excessive Wii play is on the rise.
I tweeted back saying people should just get a dog and walk three times a day. Then, it occurred to me that somebody may have already developed a game for Wii [...]

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 [...]

Barney, barney, barney

December 17, 2008

I won’t begrudge any dog his day, but what is the point of a Barney Christmas video every year? Is it some private joke I just don’t get?

Meanwhile, the economy is in the tank, we’re still mired down in the Middle East, gas prices are on the rise, oil production is being cut…. *sigh*

Things I found funny today

December 5, 2008

Two scenes in Katy Perry’s Hot & Cold music video struck me as funny today.

Come on, a rock n’ rolling priest at a wedding? That’s just God’s sense of humor.

A guy in a hot dog suit getting run over by a guy running away from his angry bride to be. Yeah, that has funny written [...]
