Twitter, SalesForce, and the Users
I came across this article while scouring my morning news. It talks about the new offering from SalesForce through Twitter. Let me summarize: Basically, SalesForce enables companies to find Twitter users that are talking about their product. This then, through the basic functionality of Twitter, then allows them to send comments through @ replies to the Twitter user, connecting company and user potentially immediately. PCWorld gives the example that, say you are using a piece... [read more]

My iPhone took a bath
Yes, I know. You just read the title to this post and you gave a shudder. Well let me ruin the ending for you now, and say, my iPhone has fortunately returned to its normal self, and has climbed a few rungs of respect in my book. Yesterday, after returning from scuba diving down at the Scuba Shack, I was carrying a tub upstairs that had our still moist buoyancy compensators upstairs from the car.... [read more]

Saving the Planet
I have had this discussion with friends on multiple occasions, and I had never written about it! The topic? Balancing lifestyle with living green. I am all about living green… whatever that really does mean, I’m not sure any one person could give a complete and accurate definition that all would agree upon. However, I am also all about living comfortably in society and experiencing technology. In some fashions this can be a very contradicting... [read more]

What are they advertising?
American Apparel ads are always a little bit goofy. The images shown are of what I would consider the stereotype, artistic people. You know, those folks that like to dress a little differently. I have nothing against American Apparel. In fact, I really like the way their tshirts fit me. Whenever I order a shirt from shirt.woot.com, I am typically happy when it arrives. I came across this ad today while reading some news: [caption... [read more]

No Consequence Predictions
I think everyone in Cincinnati, Ohio should prepare themselves for disaster. I predict that tomorrow, February 9th, 2009, an asteroid may come blazing from the heavens and plant itself right on Fountain Square. You have been warned. Nonsense, yeah? I hate how people of influence, mainly political, make no consequence predictions. This is a prediction where if you are wrong, so what? Let’s take for example a few days ago when our just recent Vice-President,... [read more]

Saving the world, take me out to the ball game
Call up Miss America, I have the solution to world peace. Two words: The Wave Now there is not a single person out there on the interwebs that is going to be able to convince me that the wave would not create world peace. Think about it. You are at a baseball game, both teams have fans in the stands, yelling and screaming, chearing their own team and cursing the other. And then some guy... [read more]

Blogging on Cincinnati.com
No real need to post this here, but thought I would just share more as an FYI. I have started a blog over on Cincinnati.com which will basically be a repost of selected entries on this site (/blog). My reasons for doing this, are the same reasons why people sell items on Amazon instead of selling from their own personal website, more traffic flow. I love to write, and would love to share my blog... [read more]

House Trained by God
Why is it that the church always belittles our end of our relationship with God? I was always taught that we were created in God’s image and that God created man for companionship. After creating Adam in the Garden of Eden from dust, and creating a companion for Adam, Eve, from his rib, what did God do? He walked with them through the Garden, companionship. So where is this all coming from? Yesterday, I was... [read more]

White Death Fail
Fail! For those keeping up, I wrote last night about my 1996 Honda Civic which has over 250K miles on it not starting. Well I am happy to report that the fail in this post is not the car’s fault. It is quite the opposite, really. The car gave me hope, showed me that sometimes you just need a little loving. But let’s start back at the beginning… 7:15am Making my way outside, determination fills... [read more]
