I’m a firm believer in the fact that com­ments on web sites typ­i­cally drag the con­ver­sa­tion down to the low­est com­mon denom­i­na­tor but occa­sion­ally, you find a com­ment that is insightful.  I found one of those on red­dit the other day and I thought it was worth mentioning:  “Peo­ple who carry cell­phones remind me of …

Taxonomic Job Classification

I have decided that you can clas­sify jobs on a tax­o­nomic basis, i.e. every job is just like some liv­ing creature.  I have also decided that my cur­rent job is like being a old, stately oak.  In a drought.  Where your leaves die.  And then a limb or two.  Then slowly, your heart and soul …

Great News For The NBA

David Stern has rein­stated the worst ref in his­tory.  Oh wait, no that’s really not very good news, is it now?  Why in the world you’d rein­state an employee who basi­cally tried to pick a fight with another employee is beyond me.  After the whole “NBA Ref Shaves Points For the Mob” fiasco, I’d think …

The Demo­c­ra­tic Party and Moveon.org have sunk to new lows in their race to the bottom.  The New York Times fol­lows closely behind.  Our polit­i­cal process has become extreme and inca­pable of involv­ing gray areas of discussion.  Both par­ties are at fault here.  But the Democ­rats and their hard left anti-war, pro-defeat base are clearly …

Smoking

So approx­i­mately 214 days ago, at the end of a fun night involv­ing the Super Bowl, I swore off cig­a­rettes until foot­ball season.  Mostly this was done as a gim­mick to give me a day to shoot for far, far in the future.  Now mind you, I was never much of a smoker, it came …
