03/21/08 11:10 - Change Congress An interesting new site is out, dedicated to allowing the interwebs to invite and track changes for good in our congressmen and women. The concept is simple, people in each district can keep track of their own Congressperson. They can contact the congressperson and invite them to take the pledge. Then they track the progress using Change-Congress.org. Easy as that. So join up and make [more]

02/18/08 11:21 - My Experience with Media Center and Vista I started using Vista back in the beta days before the official release. Excited by little things like aero and encouraged by the fact that it was a beta, I put aside the speed issues, and the fact that my audio drivers wouldn't load. It was a beta, it'll speed up and get better by the time it releases to manufacturing, right? Even now, after having the final version for about a year, you'd hear [more]

01/29/08 11:00 - The Customer Service Dilemma The biggest problem that the customer service business faces is not a problem with product or service quality. No, the biggest problem is that customer service tends to be a giant war against the mis-informed. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the customer is the customer's biggest enemy in the service industry. It's simply not enough to meet customer expectations- because customer expectations [more]

01/27/08 11:03 - This Coffee Sucks An interesting part of developing a scalable business model when franchising is ensuring consistency across all branches of a company. When it comes to retail and service, one of the biggest goals along-side quality and efficiency, is consistency. Consistency is funny because companies and chains that have achieved consistency will not be noticed for such. It should be expected that two locations [more]

12/26/07 11:28 - New Years Resolution Well, the new year is coming up quickly, and there's a lot to get in order. An over-all feeling of complete unproductivity can certainly cause you to become a bit overwhelmed, and depressed. Sometimes it's time to say to yourself, this year is coming to a bit of a bland close, it's time to start fresh and really get on the ball. This year, it's time to make things happen. It's easy to run into [more]

12/14/07 02:15 - Hulu's Review, and What They Should Learn From Porn As I stated yesterday, I was admitted to the new video site Hulu, which is apparently the networks finally offering a legal way to access their stuff online. Unfortunately, it's a last ditch effort that, in my opinion, still doesn't hold a candle to the likes of the itunes video store... oh except the fact that some of the content can't be found on itunes anymore, but instead only on hulu. Great. I'll [more]

12/13/07 11:06 - We Can't Exactly Go Looking For Doctors at Midnight on a Saturday Night Ok, here's the short story. I signed up for the HULU beta. I'm in. I'll give a review shortly. Until then, enjoy this. [more]

12/04/07 09:21 - Politics Politics are a touchy subject that nobody likes to hear be brought up. How many times have you or somebody near you brought up a political subject, only for everybody in the area to go into *deaf mode* or refuse to stay around? "We don't need to get political..." It's true. Politics can be controversial. In fact, the very nature of politics makes it quite controversial. Why do people avoid politics [more]

11/25/07 11:00 - Christmas Is Coming! Buy Stuff! Christmas is coming, and all through the house, not a creature was sturring- cause they were busy watching TV! Everybody knows that this is the season where people forget that they're broke and go out and just buy everything they want anyway. It's a win-win situation: Businesses make tons of money, and people get lots of stuff. Nevermind the inflation of the economy cause the whole thing's done [more]

11/19/07 10:49 - Humble Spam? Today in my spambox (which I rarely check) I noticed a weird spam message. It didn't smell like most of those rotton ones... It read: Hello, My name is Valentin. I have 25 years and I live with my mother in small Russian town. My mother cannot see since many years and she receive little indemnity wich not enough even for medicaments. I work very hard to buy necessities, food and medicaments [more]
