In a follow up to my other post on Obama looking promising on the tech front, this came across my desk today.
Basically the plan seems to be to have weekly YouTube addresses.  I actually like this plan.  I am a little leery of it in light of the Twitter Feed not having been updated since [...]

Well a growing number of scientists are pointing to evidence that the planet is entering a mini-iceage.  Which, if true, kind of puts a damper on the whole “global warming crisis.”
Rob over at Sayanythingblog has a few exerpts from an article discussing it.  It actually isn’t the first time the world has entered into a [...]

Now of course, to actually win the contest, one needs a Twitter account.  However, since I decided to start using my Twitter account (http://twitter.com/olorinpc), I might as well try this contest out.

Write a Killer Haiku for the Win
As you might have gleened from the headline, this time we’re going to write Twitter haiku. There’s [...]

Happy election day folks!  Instead of throwing a last minute “vote for so and so” post up, I thought I would keep it far less… directional than that.  Though followers of this site are probably quite familiar with the fact that I am not a fan of either of the two main candidates.

Well, I didn’t get a chance to do a “Lunch Break with Jake” today.  There was a good reason for that.
You see, normally, I get home and make lunch.  While eating lunch I write about whatever topic I came up with during the morning or the night before.  Today when I got home for lunch, [...]

Well I missed my noon posting yesterday as a result of being out with the start of a cold.  Not getting any writing done last night or the night before didn’t help me keep up.  However, I am back today so all is well.
Well I think it is time for a followup on my “Tyranny [...]

One of the questions I get from time to time goes a bit like this: “Jake, where do you find this stuff?”  That typically is a reference to a blog I linked to, news article, etc.
The short answer is - I read. A lot.  I use Google Reader to subscribe to many different blogs/websites/newspapers/etc.  Last [...]

Remember.

I have been pondering for a day or two what I wanted to write. ThatEdeGuy had a good post on it this morning as well. I had a feeling this post was going to wander a bit, but at least wanted to have a point. Something people could bring away from this post. What does [...]

I actually just recently made a post linking to Logan’s blog: It’s Good to be in N.D. (The Firefighters’ Muster Video.) I have now actually linked to his blog directly on my left side links. If you haven’t read his blog before, make sure to do so.
Logan is a fairly recent import to [...]

It’s actually an interesting question to ask yourself. “What does the internet do for me?”
News, entertainment, keeping in touch, games, etc. The potential list goes on for a while. The post about abandoning myspace came after sitting down and asking myself that exact question. “What was I really getting out of the time I was [...]
