lehigh valley technology

Of all the ways that the Lehigh Valley could be improved with better technology, the Lehigh Valley Crime Finder would not have been high on my list.

I guess that's why I'm not in office. I simply don't have the genius necessary to think, "hey, what could be better for the Lehigh Valley than a way to track crime?" Here, I would have thought that "what could be a better way of STOPPING crime in the Lehigh Valley?" might be a more worthwhile question to answer.

litigious nonsense

Alright, alright, I'm FOR the environment and all but THIS is not the answer.

wtf?

Alright, yes, I've heard of youtube and I've even been there a few times in the past. I try to NOT go on youtube because I'm one of those people that WILL lose hours of my life by staring mindlessly at my monitor as I watch idiot after idiot do idiotic things.

Well, tonight I happened upon youtube to watch a clip of a TV show that I missed from months ago. Given what I just stated above, this probably won't be a huge surprise ... I had to (seriously, I HAD TO) click on another video that was calling out to me from the right hand portion of the screen labeled "Director Videos".

I think it was the allure of the song more than the video. I had always gotten pumped up when I heard the song ever since it accompanied the original movie which I saw in the theater about a decade ago.

Maybe it was what I ate. Maybe it reminded me of my friends at that age. Maybe it was an unusual alignment of the stars, I don't know. All I know is that this video cracked me up.

Have at it.

stand up

Here's a piece of advice ... don't hide behind a title. "Senior Management" doesn't mean that you're not accountable for your actions (or lack of action as the case may be). Also, if you need to call in another member of senior management just to tell someone that you "can't be talked to like that" after the lightest "tongue lashing" in history, please grow up.

There are no details forthcoming, so don't ask. Suffice it to say that, yes, this was based on personal experience.

15 websites that changed the world

I was in the process of researching a domain that appeared in a contact's email address (@cs.com) when I stumbled onto a name I hadn't heard for years, Compuserve. NEway, they had this little list that I thought was pretty interesting. I agree with most of it, what do you think?
