“In any industry or organization, keeping employees based only on their years of service, regardless of their contribution to success, is simply not good policy.”

This one still makes me laugh, but only if I could get the settings right on adding the post. I guess it’s time to upgrade my @aol accounts. H3LLR450R@aol.com. Oh yeah!

one forty plus.: Twitter Isn't "Over", I'm Over It. :

Last week in Los Angeles I participated in a live Q&A as part of an ASCAP expo on songwriting. When the topic of Twitter came up, I explained my waning interest in it being part of my daily life. By no means do I think it’s over as a medium altogether, but I do think that the days of “Twitter: The…

The interesting conundrum surrounding twitter is that it chose to lock itself to the SMS character limit so that users could easily access the service via text from their cellphones. SMS will not outlive email. More and more web users have email available via their cellphones now (as part of their data plans, separate from their text plans) which is a better way to communicate and respond to anyone anywhere than texting in 160 characters. However, it’s arguably agreeable that the nature for being concise is coaxed more readily from Twitter’s mandate for brevity. Either way, this is still only one iteration in the continual evolution of our want for better, or other, methods of communicating with others.

Lindsay Lohan has broken up with her girlfriend DJ Samantha something! No more jokes about her being a drugged out skank. Oh wait. She’s now a bi-sexual skanky crack whore. Hallelujah! The Republic is saved.

I don’t know if this stuff is true or not, but it’s nice to see that Ms. Lohan is still maknig her name around the way. Let us all have a chuckle and get to moving along. very well.

Too Many Left Turns?

Fri, 26 Dec 2008 13:57:08 -0800

The outer two toes on my left foot have started a bit of aching, and I wasn’t sure what was causing, but today I noticed I make quite a few more left turns in the office than I do right turns, which is odd, because you would think it would be the same number reversed on the walk back. I guess I don’t walk the same path there and back, wherever that is in the office. In any case, my two toes are sore and it’s uncomfortable. So I tried making only right turns, which, aside from being even more ridiculous, causes me to dizzy quite quickly. Not conducive to thinking or writing, which are the two things I’m supposed to be doing today.
