Nacchio

I lost a lot of money on Qwest, which I wrongly believed at the time was more insulated over the long term from the telecom meltdown than other providers. Part of the reason I believed that is because CEO Nacchio forcefully made that argument, of course in the end he was more concerned about one […]

WTF? Seriously, What Is He Saying?

"Given the increasingly important role of the Internet in education and commerce, it differs from other media like TV and cable because parents cannot prevent their children from using the Internet altogether," Sen. Stevens said. "The headlines continue to tell us of children who are victimized online. While the issues are […]

Woodside Bakery in the Merc

I love this place, it might as well be called Our Kitchen considering we are there just about as frequently as the one in our home. I still hit Buck’s occasionally but really prefer the Bakery, although I will say that the staff at Buck’s has been there for years (many) and they remember […]

Corporate Doublespeak

I always felt out of my element in a large company environment, my visit back to SAP this week reinforced that view. I was listening to the various speakers at the social media summit talk and it had me thinking about language.

It occured to me that maybe people, consumers to employees alike, would have […]

Yet Another Post on Airline Customer Sat (YAPACS)

Long Lines:
The lines for skycap and bag check were huge this morning. The car dropped me off and I was immediately in a long line at the curb. When I asked a maintenance worker having [...]

Bad Phish

When I get a phishing email of this poor quality I get pissed… at least put some effort into it. Make me believe you take some pride in your work.

Also note the use of “Bank Of America”… people, is it too much to ask to at least get the company name right?

Why Do We Need One?

Senator Durbin (D-IL) is going to host a series of online discussions about the lack of a national broadband strategy. I would ask the question from the other direction, do we need a national broadband strategy?

It strikes me that the U.S. technology industry has been most successful when the Federal government steps aside. Furthermore, it’s […]
