a stream of high consciousness

i am so scared about this election. if these retards win we are screwed.

• 72 year old grandpa who’s never used the internet. he’s bush III.
• inexperienced lady who was the mayor of a town of 5,000 and governor of alaska for 2 years. that’s her creds? at least she’s hot

 what i like to see

that’s usually how long it takes

you know what i mean

YOU DOG!

i do not like capital letters. too loud. hurts my eyes.

lower case is just easier to read.

its easier to scan a bunch of lower case letters.

capital letters are distracting.

i like lots of space too.

nothing worse than trying to read one giant paragraph.

hit enter buddy.

ladies…

i’ve traveled over half our state to be here tonight. i couldn’t get away sooner because i was eating dinner with friends and i had to see about it. you see eating out with friends is one of the things i enjoy and when i say i enjoy it i mean that i love it dearly. good company means good times, which means laughter and smiling, things i am extremely fond of.

so ladies… if you say that i am a funny man, i will agree. you have a great chance here, but bare in mind, you can lose it all if you’re not careful. out of all the men who will beg for a wink, maybe one in twenty will be a funny man, the rest will be speculators-men trying to get in your pants or maybe cop a cheap feel.

even if you find one that seems genuine, and he may be nice, i can assure you that when it comes to putting a smile on your face he won’t be there. this is just the way it works.

i do my own cooking and i am fixed like no other male on this website. i like doing things outdoors and i make it my business to be outdoors. i don’t stay inside and play video games for months; i don’t sit around and talk about sports all day long.

i’m a business man-i run a side business and the people i work with are people i know. they are in it to see that the job is done right, and so am i.

i offer you the bond of loyalty that very few males can. i’m a loyal man and i protect and aid those who are dearest to me. this is why i can guarantee your happiness and put up the smiles to back my word on the first date.

i assure you, whatever the others promise to do, when it comes to the showdown, they won’t be there…

ever read the ny post?

they have great titles for their covers… puns, jokes, etc…

an example would be like:
The Katz Out of the Bag

which is referring to new investigations around the former NJ gov’s girlfriend Carla Katz.

you get the point.

digg is the same way:

how do you make the front page of digg? something like this:

More Than 5,000 Marijuana Plants Discovered At Scout Camp

allheadlinenews.com — Would you like to buy some girl scout cookies now?

that’ll do it. maybe a little bit edgier than what the post would run, but same point.

a picture is worth a thousand words but what is a title worth?

he stands alone. i love this picture.

this is ridiculous.

what is msft getting? bust deal. i wish balmer would explain it so that i would understand.

i’m not sure what we are even buying… is it hardcore yahoo users or just people who have yahoo set to their homepage?

its a little sketch

if we end up buying them, get flickr and f’ it up i will be pissed… there are certain things that should be left alone… flickr is a prime example. i picture microsoft rebranding flickr Microsoft Windows Photo Gallery Online v2.0. cringing.

should we even buy yahoo… i think it’s a mistake. i really hope there is some key information i am missing / don’t understand about this deal. what are we getting that we don’t have or can’t win / create ourselves?

fyi yahoo doesn’t want the deal and their top employees have already left the company… its a little late guys

do we really still think they are still worth $33 / share?

how about $20 / share and a prime card?

that sounds more money to me

do you not know about this website yet?

mint.com

great site.

it aggregates all your different bank accounts and credit cards into one place

it seems a little sketchy at first… you have to give them your online bank account passwords so they can auto-download your account info

good news… i’ve done the research and analysis for you

mint doesn’t store your username/password, they have a third party called yodlee which does that. they also do it for major banks like bank of america so they’re pretty legit.

its still a little sketch but when you think about it, what can someone do with your account statements? not much.

so if mint.com got hacked, all they’d get is your account statements… not bank account passwords. that makes me feel a bit better.

big fan overall, it makes managing your money much easier. quicken / money / desktop applications all kind of sucked (i tried them all) plus having it available on the web means you can access it from anywhere, not just your home pc where you have quicken installed.

there is always security / convenience tradeoffs in life.

you can have a million locks but if you have to always lock/unlock all of them at a certain point it becomes unmanagable. in this case you’re protecting your account statements. big whoop i say and mint.com is awesome.

i know a little bit of sql. not crazy SQL but enough to get by.

usually my statements are like:

SELECT * FROM awesome a

JOIN phenomenal p ON p.id = a.pid

WHERE  peanut_butter > “2 POUNDS!”

you know… pretty standard sql.

this below is T-SQL which is a litlte crazy. sneaky sql has some tricks up her sleeves.

the jist of the above statement… SQL has has eye on your ass

SQL scares me
