RANT: Why does NJ have duplicate road “authorities”?

Wednesday, March 14, 2007

NJ has the Turnpike Authority, the Garden State Parkway Authority, the Atlantic City Expressway Authority, the Delaware Bridge Commission, and the DOT.

If I was King of NJ, then I’d nuke ’em all.

Do we think that roads and bridges can only be done by the gooferment?

Even if it was true, why can’t we have just one DOT?


RANT: The NCAA and all the little schools

Wednesday, March 14, 2007

This years NCAA was interesting in that all the big leagues had extra teams become eligible. That sopped up the selection committee’s optional choices. Is it me or this is all a scam to extract money from a gullible public?


XPfails – luggable – My restoration plan

Wednesday, March 14, 2007

I have the hardware for the clone and reformat. I have misplaced my copy of O2003. Argh! I need that before I can move ahead. Double Argh!

Why do I need the source distribution media and the magic code to unlock it? There has to be a better system. this makes me crazy! If I ever buy another pos copy protected software, then I’ll have my head examined.


RANT: McSleezey slid out from under his rock

Wednesday, March 14, 2007

What a bozo! He wants full custody of the child. The wife is living in what was described as “modest circumstances”. And, he’s high on the hog. Could it be to strike back for his wife’s tell all book coming out? Sheesh, he should crawl back under before the nj taxpayers ask why isn’t he in jail?

***Begin Quote***

Why does the American military so avoid informal conversations and require formal meetings and briefings? Because most of the time, the people who actually know the subject are of junior rank. Above them stands a vast pyramid of “managers,” who know little or nothing about the topic but want their “face time” as they buck for promotion. The only way they can get their time in the sun without egg on their faces is by hiding behind a formal, scripted briefing. At the end, they still have to drag up some captain or sergeant from the horse-holder ranks if questions are asked.

Guess that puts the nail in the “meeting” coffin!

INTERESTING: What do you do at 4am?

Wednesday, March 14, 2007

When you wake up out of sound sleep, wide awake, like a “disturbance in the Force”, like some one has walk over your grave, or when something bad has happened and your intuition is telling you to go on high alert.

What do you do?

ALUMNI: An idea for a real time Jasper news wire

Wednesday, March 14, 2007

I woke up in the wee hours with my next great idea. A real time Jasper news wire. Born out of my computer troubles, it has always been my thought to have an easy way to assemble my weekly ezine more easily. So why not use a wordpress blog, and just “stitch” it together for the weekly readers. It would allow that fellow to only see the sections he was interested in. Have to noodle that about. But I like the idea. Real time Jasper feed.
