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 [...]

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 [...]

The definitive metaphor for social media

December 7, 2008

There has been a rush with the social media consultant groups and evangelists about how to define this thing called “social media.” Chris Brogan defined it as cafe-shaped conversation. And many people jumped on that metaphor.
Hubspot got a bit lively when they published a video and blog post about not measuring ROI on social media. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Unfamiliar walks

June 15, 2008

A couple days ago, we took a walk downtown and I really enjoyed myself. I love new places, new smells, new dogs. As I walk along, I look back to see if my owner is still with me, to make sure that he wants to go straight, take a left, stop and look at a [...]

Trying to find normal

June 11, 2008

Today, I spent the afternoon curled up alone in my office, working on stuff. Sometimes the phone rang and I answered it, but mostly I did the small things that I used to do when it was just me.
I miss me.

Naomi’s first club walk

June 1, 2008

Dog walking with Rufus, Grep, Molly, and Bingo is so much fun because I get to pet all the dogs. I did the dog oath, the dog handshake, and they where good. I get to play with the dogs and take pictures.
I rode my bike to start. I like walking better. We walked to Mambos’s [...]

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.

Averaging averages

May 19, 2008

Spend a weekend watching the news on TV. I did and here is what I conclude.

News anchors are really, really stupid and shallow people.
No news we like means we’ll just make up news
There can only be 3-5 news stories on TV at any one time, REGARDLESS of how many news channels you have in your [...]

Appeasing the under-educated white guy

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, white [...]

Dogs, cats and rabbits I know are not me

May 8, 2008

I will never be president. Not just because I’m a dog, or even because I’m a black dog, but because of the animals I have once known and do now know. 
When I was growing up, I used to hang with some dogs who had anti-small dog opinions; very, very strong anti-small dog opinions. We grew apart eventually [...]
