Steve Jobs is just making silver-painted Styrofoam police badges

by Rufus on April 4, 2010

The iPad has been out for a day now, so that should have been enough time for all the pundits and Apple-know-it-alls to gripe about what is missing from the iPad, what should have been done differently, etc, etc, etc. And they are all very wrong because Steve Jobs really doesn’t care what you think [...]

The Mac OS goes to the dogs

by Charlie on January 25, 2009

Steve Jobs, we dogs think it was a mistake to start naming the MacOS X after cats. Really, not cool. In the interest of Think Different, may I propose a name for your next version? Snow Shepherd

Obama uses a MacBook Pro?

by Charlie on 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.

Round up all the web geeks and pelt them with pebbles

by Charlie on 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

by Rufus on 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 [...]

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

by Charlie on 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 [...]

Merry season!

by Rufus on November 23, 2008

Joe does not really care what you call the upcoming season of giving stuff to other people, but he wants you to know that you will NOT be getting a catalog in the mail. This is your only source for Plain Joe Stuff. (Be sure to catch the out takes at the end.) Visit PlainJoe.com [...]

Eat dessert first

by Rufus on 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 [...]

Appeasing the under-educated white guy

by Rufus on May 18, 2008

Since Hillary’s win in North Carolina last Tuesday, the “news cycle” has been all about how Barack Obama is going to get the “under-educated, white man” vote. After watching news story after news story on this, a very large question suddenly dawned on me: When did this country get to the point where the under-educated, [...]

Legacy

by Rufus on November 16, 2005

Yesterday, Rufus and I walked along the back side of National. Along this path, there are three sidewalk blocks that are interesting. One has the name “Emily” carved into the edge.. the other has two hand prints smack in to the middle of the block and the third has “Matt” written along the edge, close [...]
