CNN Editing Blunders

Sunday, February 18th, 2007

I caught this following set of links on CNN today and thought I would share (they took it down after an hour or so).

Apparently the only thing “worst” than the Iraq policy is CNN.com’s editing.   This one is pretty good, but nothing can rival my favorite from last year when a story was only up [...]

Traffic on Friday stinks

Friday, February 9th, 2007

Pardon the corny humor, but traffic stinks in more ways than one on Fridays.  Website traffic takes a precipitous drop at 1 - 2 pm as people leave work (what does that say about job productivity?), and then on the commute I have to deal with 20 gadjillion college students going out on dates on [...]

I haven’t talked about food or Doritos specifically in awhile, so I was sitting here eating a new flavor of Doritos and decided now is as good a time as any.  The new flavor is Spicy Sweet Chili.  Now, unless they roll Doritos in dirt I will probably eat them, so it is hard for [...]

Argue your point online

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

So,  a friend and someone who worked for a short time with me at FundingUniverse, Brett Stubbs, just recently launched a new site called ConvinceMe.net where you can debate on any topic under the sun.  There are open debates, competitive debates, and “king of the hill” battles where you argue who is the “best” or [...]

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

Over the past few weeks FundingUniverse.com is ranking hundreds of places higher on all our most treasured keywords on Google.  Since SEO is my domain here, all of my fellow employees wanted to know how we did it and what was the biggest contributing factor to the newfound success.  Well, here is my secret - [...]

Arrogance of communities

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

I wrote a blog almost a year ago speaking about how often people build a hedge around their job. My thoughts right now are related to this, but are in a broader context. With the Internet dead-horse currently being “community”, “Web 2.0″, “user generated content”, and “viral”, I have realized how incredibly arrogant [...]

HOV lane madness

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

A few weeks ago I was riding in the HOV lane going to a reception with my wife.  It was around 7 pm and very dark outside. I was cruising along at 75 in a 65 when behind me I saw extremely bright headlights.  This usually means a big truck, and as it got closer [...]

New Kid on the Block

Friday, July 21st, 2006

I haven’t blogged about it because I wanted to post pictures and I kept forgetting to grab them from home. Our new daughter, Natalya Joyce Miskin, was born on July 6. She weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces. She is awesome, and our son Tanner loves her and is very protective. Fortunately, [...]

Modern Backward Tune

Friday, July 21st, 2006

The last backward tune was Panama by Van Halen. If you had heard it before you probably would have easily guessed at least the artist. Here is that tune forward - Forward Tune #3
This next song is from the 90’s, and I must say that it is one of the coolest songs I [...]

Backward tune #3

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

The last song was very easy, Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. The song lasts about 5 hours, and that clip is toward the end so if you didn’t get it then you probably never got to that part of the song. That song is the most played guitar song in the world [...]
