Quote Of The Day

Boy, nothing ever goes as planned, It’s a hell of a notion

From the song “Nothing Ever Goes As Planned” by the music group Styx

Dear Business and Spam Blogs

I am not following you, its not worth following me. There is nothing of great business interest you can glean from my blog. I am not worth your time.

Not Your Friend,

A Short Commentary on Technology

We all have a love/hate relationship with technology. Its to the point where many, me included, can’t do without it. In some ways its making us smarter but other ways kind of dumber. Perhaps its the seduction of a glowing screen and all the things it can do to supposedly make our lives better. I used to call a cell phone a electronic ball and chain for good reason and now I feel the weight of it because I can’t go anywhere without it. We have lived in the wired and now the wireless age and we are more connected in some ways but very disconnected in others. Technology is our friend and our foe at the same time.

Funny how all of it works for good and bad. We all wait for the latest devices that does the latest and greatest stuff only to see it bettered by new release. What will we see in the future in the next killer apps on the information superhighway? Only the future and people working on silicon valley and in other places know.

The End of The Day

I am glad to be home, chilling out after a 12 hour day…well just about 15 minutes shy of a full 12 but close enough right. We are doing some good things at work and today was a part of that. Tomorrow is another 12 hour day so I need to be ready for that. I hope you had a great day too my friends.
