Mixing Radio Shows
For those that may not know, I listen to two radio programs. What I really do is record them and then take those recordings with me to work and listen as I have time. Being the hardware tech does have its advantage. While I working on belt printers (for printing those little price tags on the shelf), portable computers (barcode scanners), and ( Read more... ) -
Adding to Whiteboard
Added these today:
Action without vision is like unto hiking without a compass.

Whiteboard
These are things I wrote on the whiteboard in my cubicle at work.
Work hard = good
Work smart = better

Aren't we full of irony?
I am amazed by the efforts we go to defend our world views and yet ignore the irony of what we do. ( Read more... ) -
Global warming
I am finding the “media” entertaining right now. The contradictions to prop up global warming are making great humor for talk show hosts. For example, one talk show host who I suspect does not believe in man-caused global warming is having a great time with all the contradictions. He pretends to be completely confused by it all.
