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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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*

What would you do if you had $1 million dollars?

December 10, 2008

Dear President-elect Barack Obama;
I am a small business owner. I do quite well for myself as I am in a knowledge-based business servicing the youth sporting market and the retail services industries. I also dabble a bit in coffee and Web 2.0 consulting.
I was running some numbers this afternoon on the bail-out plans that [...]

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 [...]

Recently, one of the folks I follow sent out a tweet about a teacher who is selling sponsorship on the bottom of his test. The tweet went like:

What the heck are you trying to SELL me?

November 30, 2008

From the “What the Heck are You Trying to Sell Me” department. It took a whole tank of gas for me to wade through this pump topper. Honestly, how long has Kroger been at the retail game?

Stuff lost in translation

November 28, 2008

I read this story and was horrified. Not at the fact that 200 shoppers would break down a WalMart door and stampede a man to his death, but by two statements made by Walmart.

Wal-Mart representative Dan Fogleman called the incident a “tragic situation” and said the victim came from a temporary agency and was doing [...]

Happy Eating Day

November 27, 2008

Happy Eating Day, everyone! Oh, I know, our American friends are celebrating Thanksgiving but let’s call the holiday what it really is.
A few years ago, a friend of mine spent August through January in Europe and called me on Thanksgiving, very much depressed they didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving. Despite his best efforts, he could not convince these Europeans [...]
