SXSW – the Quest

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Selling diamonds in a down economy

November 28, 2008

You might think that selling diamonds in a down economy would be a tough game, but you would be wrong!
Here is how DeBeers is doing it, full page ad in the WSJ.

Disappearing males?

November 25, 2008

This is an interesting video and it appears as if males are disappearing. The video concludes that that is is becasue of the chemicals we’re producing, but as a male of the canine species, I’d like to posit another theory:
Mommybloggers
Ok, not specifically mommybloggers, but everything they represent. The mommies have all bonded into this huge [...]

Truemors was being goofy.

November 17, 2008

So here are my comments to 
Palin Calls Bloggers “Kids in Pajamas…in Their Parents’ Home”
Here is the quote from the Fox News site:
–QUOTE–
VAN SUSTEREN: Is there anything else that has been raised or said about you in the media, either during the convention — I mean, during the campaign or since the campaign ended, that you [...]

Never confuse ‘clear thought’ with crap

November 16, 2008

Last Saturday, Mark Lilla, a professor of humanities at Columbia University, wrote an article in the WSJ titled The Perils of ‘Populist Chic’, What the rise of Sarah Palin and populism means for the conservative intellectual tradition. It was well-thought out and objectively argued. In short, it explains why presidential candidates need to go bowling and drinking [...]

How to profit from stupid and sloth

November 14, 2008

I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. So do hundreds of my neighbors and I know exactly who they are.
The WSJ gets delivered to my front door every morning by a carrier with the Dayton Daily News. About a year ago, I noticed that the mailing label in the upper right hand corner of my copy of [...]

The election is not about race

November 5, 2008

Sure, Barack Obama is African-American and yes, he is the first black president of the United States of America and that is historic. But, he is also a really smart man who knows how to inspire greatness in others and instill dreams that people act on instead of just wishing and praying.
Obama was elected because [...]

105 feet… so close, yet…

November 4, 2008

This was outside my polling place in Ohio. Notice that the McCain/Palin sign is as close as the law allows. Clearly, the letter of the law is being invoked, but not the spirit. I’m pretty certain that an over-eager supporter put this there, but this really is not helping put your candidate in the best [...]

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 [...]
