Sigh. I fly a lot. Too much, but such is life. Every month I get updates on my frequent flier status from United, Delta, and, as you will see, American. United and Delta are set to send me updates in English, but American defaulted to sending them to me in Japanese when I changed my [...]

Over the past two weeks I have had the very interesting, and in some ways motivating, experience of dropping into an “Alice in Wonderland” world where things are not as they seem, people agree to battle and then run off at the sight of something scary, and arbitrary shrieks of “Off with his head!” ring [...] The outrage from conservative America over Obama’s bows to Asian leaders borders on the ridiculous. First of all, if we felt secure about our role and standing in the world community I’m quite sure that the reaction would be much more muted, after all, it was with President Eisenhower here. Eisenhower bows to Pope [...] 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! [...] 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? [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] (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 [...] Why is it that in the United States one sometimes still cannot get a WiFi link at an airline lounge? It’s bad enough that we have to pay for them most of the time (Admitedly this is also true in Europe. There are also enlightened airlines, such as Continental, that make the service free.), but [...] It is fine to have the electrical outlet at one’s house or work under the desk, yet I think that all of us who move notebook computers around would agree that having one on the desk surface or on the wall above the desk makes it easier to connect and disconnect when necessary. It is [...] |
