Bad Sushi!

Ok, this is some stinky fish. I wanted to try the my.hamachi.cc website with our Hamachi network, so went to go create an account there. Only I can’t, because I won’t accept the license agreement for a license that is "TBD".

Uff Da!

Inherent Conservatism

I surprised myself recently — FB friends may have seen a note to that effect. What surprised me is that I am significantly more conservative in my investing profile that I thought I was. Ask around and my guess is that the people who know me best (Although not Jan when I asked. After this [...]

A Good Thing

The spam trollers will hit this, bounce to any one of 3.2 trillion randomly generated pages, and then start downloading an infinite number of completely random e-mail addresses. Once their database of e-mail addresses has been sufficiently polluted, it becomes unusable due to the high number of resources required to successfully send e-mails, and therefore [...]

Three Cheers for Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport

I don’t know when this started, but PHX now has full and free wireless access across the entire airport. I just read this morning that Denver will do the same thing starting this week, but with advertisements that will need to be clicked through in order to get to the web. So be it — [...]

Registerfly

So, we now have control of opdahls.com again. Thanks to Registerfly and Kevin Medina we lost control for several months. There’s not much to say except to give a hearty UFF DA! and get on with life. Interested parties can read more at the Wikipedia article.

BTW, we now own opdahls.net and theopdahls.com. Anyone interested? [...]

Karmic Damage

This e-mail was just wrong on so many levels that I saved it and am posting it here for everyone to laugh at and enjoy. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent, and although I have considered the karmic effect of putting all of these harvestable addresses here, my assumption is that [...]

More pain…

I own MSFT as an investment, so some would say I am at cross-purposes with this post, but one has to wonder at some of the moronic things happening in Redmond. Like this…

Today Jan and I decided that (once again) we would input all of our investment data, etc., etc., into the PC and get [...]

Time for a revolution…

(An episode where Peter screams out loud at stupidity in the Japanese service industry…)

I’m a businessman, and businessmen (Or businesswomen, businesspeople, drunken monkeys, or lobotomized fleas for that matter…) will tell you that in order to win or keep business, you do things to make your customers’ lives easier. Japan is reknowned the world over [...]

The Chinternet

Good article here –> http://blog.fastcompany.com/archives/2006/03/08/chinas_wondrous_web.html

The whole Chinese take on the internet (Do I get credit — or snarls? — for the term “Chinternet? ) is really amazing. I first noticed this about 4-5 years ago when taking business trips to China. It was the easiest place in the world to [...]

Maybe on my 51st birthday I'll take a ride…

“A revolutionary way to send cargo into space, the LiftPort Space Elevator will consist of a carbon nanotube composite ribbon eventually stretching some 62,000 miles from earth to space. The LiftPort Space Elevator will be anchored to an offshore sea platform near the equator in the Pacific Ocean, and to a small man-made counterweight in [...]
