Microsoft needs to show more concern for the individual customer. What I think of Microsoft is a matter of public record. Interestingly, what Microsoft thinks of me is on the record, too. They think I’m a thief, stupid, and a dinosaur. I finally figured out where Microsoft will fail. The customer. Apple failed to win … Read More »

Delayed News, Instant Comedy
Comedy moves faster than network news. It’s the speed of laugh. Vice President Cheney took a shot at a lawyer, and cartoonists all over the country breathed a sigh of relief (and stopped working on Holocaust cartoons). What about comedians on TV? Instant comedy. Unless you missed it, Vice President Dick Cheney made the news … Read More »

What’s becoming of the world today? Is it good? Is it bad? Or is it just us? America. The land of the free, home of the brave, and birthplace of crazy lawsuits, and double-standards. The 21st century is off to a crazy start. How much more of this can we take? Just in the past … Read More »

Let’s Play “Four Things” And Meme Together
Not as much effort but more fun than Sudoku. Four Things. What’s your four? I have not played Four Things (a “meme” from a few decades ago) in awhile, but received one via email today. I just had to respond. So will you. Sorry. Four Things is a meme. It’s easy and fun to play, … Read More »
