I wonder who will...

be the first professor to actually have a sociology class or program what studys the world of the blog. Not only does the net allow everyone to expound their ideas but they get to be a philosopher in many respects and sometimes we just to be that that person up on their soap box, holding a sign, and proclaiming that the end of the world is near. In any case a lot of people seem to be talking but who is listening at this point? Though for most people I am not sure it really matter, what really matters is that we get to say it out loud in a sort of safe way that the person next to us cannot bash our head in if they do not like our ideas. I guess that may be the most charming thing about a blog is you get to speak your mind in a way where you feel detached from a conversation itself so it may very well be a deeper explusion of ones thoughts due to the almost safe feeling one can have. Though ideas that may be considered to righteous can sometimes have affects that are not considered. At any rate, go blog this.

Let the console wars begin

Now that Sony has unwrapped their console the console flame wars of design have begun. Luckily each processor and component is so very different that you cannot compare them directly so now it down to their design aesthetics. This is the part where the video game boys start to sound like a bunch of giddie highschool girls comparing their Gucci and Armada hand bags. Well this is expected to happen though might I ask everyone to consider a different war instead of just the consoles. The media war over how we want out media content delievered. The XBOX 360 and PS3 are said to have media capabilities which I hope people could put aside their fanboy/fangirl differences and show the RIAA and MPAA how we like our media content. This is more than just a battle for the living rooms but the battle that shows the RIAA and MPAA that we do not agree with their business model and something else does work. These two institusions do not listen to anything but $$$$$$$ so maybe we can possibly decide who will own the living room later and decide on how we would like your media accessed and distributed.

Can Johhny

Yeah! He can. That's right the U.S. is still coo' still coo' heh or so I have been told now.

Oh Blog my Blog on the Blogingest day in the "Blog-o-sphere"

A blog everywhere a blog all I wanna see is a bunch of blogs. I wonder when the blog craze will end? Then we can all abandon our voice on the internet. There is such a sea of blogs it is truly amazing that any really get singled out from time to time. I wonder if their is a statistic on the number of blogs that have gained popularity in the general news fronts as opposed to the rest of us who just seem to talk to ourselves. Is this really a great communication tool? I think so as long as somehow we can disseminate everything but the way it goes we will build a bot to do that and have the great blog aggregator which would ultimately do what was not intended but to filter those who seem fit to speak of information once again creating "The News" as it were. What do you do with all this information? Well maybe one day someones head will explode from information overload and that will top the headlines and we can read about it on someones blog. I love the internet lets our jump back on our message boards and talk about randmon stuff there.

So as far as I can remember

I cut the grass last week and it was taller than the lawnmower today. What's up with that? Who let the grass grow like that, it's just a tragedy it is, a real and simple tragedy.

If it ever comes to this

If anyone actually comments on one of these threads/posts I don't think I'll really know what to do. I have been thinking about and no solution has come to mind.

Look ma I'm all growed up

Well now I feel like I am growing up a bit but only a bit. Today I went to my first User Group meeting/conference or whatever you want to call it for Business Objects. My company uses Crystal Reports, sort of. Pretty much I use Crystal Reports and other use something called Brio which I have not fully disseminated, there is a lot of information on everything. The meeting was on Business Objects which is made my, you guessed it Business Objects. I am trying to decide if what we need at my company is just Crystal Reports XI with Crystal Server XI or if we need to purchase the whole Crystal XI Enterprise package, fun huh? I feel a little lost as I do not really know what I am doing. I guess that is part of the challenge is figuring what your company needs to be able to get the correct information out of its system and how that can be shared to others easily and organized. I have to find a mentor or something I barely know what I need to do and no one else does either they just know they want information and they want it in a nice format. Well I guess back to figuring out what I am doing.

It almost feels wrong

It almost feels wrong to have a blog and not talk about news and politics. Though maybe that's just the home which I was raised where my father spent countless hours yelling at the televisions when watching the news. I swear I spent more time watching the nightly news, 60 minutes, and others than watching Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers. Though more recently I've moved from getting all my information from the main stream media. I feel more obligated to learn a foreign language just to get news and information that is at least from a different perspective. I'm not sure the majority of media has been like this overall and I was just unaware as I was young or if this is a more recent trend. If anyone has any suggestion if inernet radio/"Pocasts" or other media format of news beyond the BBC and U.S. news outlets let me know.
