The Forgotten President

What’s the worst thing that can happen to a person of power or influence? It is to be forgotten. George Bush Jr. fits this role as he has left the national office. The legacies that are left in his political wake destroyed the Bush family name because of not being able to take criticism and […]

Perfect Poker Play

Notes from a poker session: Dealt AA, raise preflop, 2 callers. Board AK5. Bet by UG1, UG2 fold, I raise. Turn K. Check by UG1. I Check. River 5. UG1 bets big, I think and reraise all in. Snap call by UG1 with KKK55. I win with AAAKK.

Yahoo Search vs Google Search

Have you seen the Yahoo! Search display ads? It is a play on missing person photos on milk cartons with the tag line: “LOST Last Seen: Searching Google for music vidoes. [head shot] Missing Since Breakfast”. I think it is great that Yahoo is starting fight back more and trying to take back some of […]

SEO is the New IRS Tax Form

As of today, all three major search engines have officially accepted the use of the new canonical tag. SEO is becoming more esoteric and more of a big joke everyday helping to create new professionals out of thin air. Now help explain why search engines as powerful as Google cannot determine the main index page […]

Bailout or Universal Health Care

Of course the morons win with billions and trillions of dollars into a housing market that was a bubble to begin with. While millions of Americans are without the simple necessities of health care. Pumping billions into a saving people’s mortgages does not save one life, or help people recover from their illnesses. The health […]

Wordpress 2.7 vs Drupal 6.9

I have been working with the Wordpress 2.7 all day for a client, and the experience has been surreal. It was really refreshing as compared to working with Drupal 6.9 a week or two earlier. I understand that Drupal is powerful beyond belief, but the backend administration is at least two generations behind the newest […]

Rite Aid - Alarms & Deodorant

Encountered one of the funniest gadgets in Rite Aid today. Their deodorant were all guarded with a self-served alarm that sounded more like a doorbell than anything else. I would have preferred the alarm enclosures wrapped around (no pun intended) condoms and announce over the store speakers something to the extent of “1 pack of […]

I am flabbergasted by the rampant plagiarism that takes form in the shape of Wikipedia entries. After reading the article in the NYTimes on Shane Battier (that was published yesterday), I did a search for Shane Battier and started to read the Wikipedia entry on Shane Battier. Lo’ and behold, 90% of the Wikipedia article […]

When you have a superstar, Amare Stoudemire, who has been voted off the captain role within the Phoenix Suns organization; then you know it is time to pack your bags and go. There is no point in staying after getting demoted even if Stoudemire retains all the salary benefits because the working day is made […]

Is Nadya Suleman Sane or Insane?

How can Nadya Suleman manage 14 kids all by herself? There’s simply no way a normal person would have gone through what she did, and will go through in terms of raising her kids. It is not even possible to feed all 8 infants all at once by herself. How about the simple tasks of […]
