How about those Rutgers dames! You gotta believe they can take it all, youngsters or not.

Carolina-Barrelina, Tennessee-Wannasee…who cares about them, they got nothing but a name. Bring ’em on. It’s the Scarlett Knights of Rutgers that they should fear. GO RUTGERS!

P.S. I am out in LV on business, watched them play from the Hard Rock Hotel bar….but I should have put my money where my mouth is! I was telling everyone around me that I knew two avid fans and season ticket holders! :-)

>How about those Rutgers dames!

The game was ugly. They’ll have to do better to get by LSU.

>Carolina-Barrelina, Tennessee-Wannasee…who cares about them, they got nothing but a name.

LSU’s Fowles (a true 5), Carolina’s Latta (a true 2), and Tennesee’s Redding (a true 4) are the imho the keys to the game. RU matches up pretty well.

Luckily, RU only has to face two of the three.

LSU Fowles beat UCONN single-handedly. But UConn doesn’t have 5. Gino goes small and fast. RU can’t afford to double her and Kia Vaughn will have her hands full. She has to stay out of foul trouble and contain Fowles.

It’s possible. That’s why they play the games. But, it’s no lock.

>P.S. I am out in

BTW did you see Corzine with his RU shirt as the #1 fan. Arghhh. Trust a politician to find a parade to get in front of!

>I was telling everyone around me that I knew two avid fans and season ticket holders! :-)

Nahh, it’s only one rabid fan. I just go to be social able. It’s Frau who is living her fantasy of what could have been. Damn she was good in her prime. I only got to see her play once before the quad separation and she was a deadly shooter. Her brother told me she was “better” in high school. Hard to believe. Forty years before her time. It’s sad. She might have been Nancy Lieberman. Like Rocky, “I coulda been a contender”. At least, she has a fantasy. All I have is my blog. ;-) (Although I am getting 200 readers per day.)

*** begin quote ***

Rank: 625,183 (16 links from 7 blogs) What do these numbers mean?

There’s an estimated “55 MILLION blogs … some of them have to be good”.

I’m surprised I score at all.

I just thought this was funny. Obviously, this was the work of “leadership”. The McJob types don’t get to play with laser printers. But the creator didn’t think much about “doing it write”. ;-) No wonder that 50% of my Sunday morning orders have a defect.

IMHO Leadership starts with the top.

LINKEDIN: Are you finding that LinkedIn and Ryze are worthwhile?

Hi

I read your comment on the Linkedin power forum on ostracism which gave me a chuckle. I thought you might have been an Aussie ;-)

Your profile is entertaining. Are you finding that LinkedIn and Ryze are worthwhile?

G’day Mate, No, not an awesie, but I watched Crock-a-dile dundee a few times. Does that count? Glad you were amused. I think that inet’s “hidden nature” allows people to be butt heads and think there are no consequences. Putting bozos on the virtual iceberg and giving them a healthy shove out to the proverbial sea will send a quick chilling message. Glad to be entertaining. I had an injineering prof say “if you can’t get the answer right, at least be entertaining”.

OK, seriously now, I think the jury is still out on the whole social networking genre. I really don’t have time to master multiple sites in the niche. I chose LinkedIn over Ryze for my efforts because Ryze was overrun with MLMers and “kiddies”. I have yet to say “wow, that was because of LinkedIn that I made that $5”. OTOH I have connected with lots of people, earned a little following on my blog, and did publish a “vanity” of my blog in 2006. I’d say that was all driven from LinkedIn. I’m not sure that I say it was “worthwhile” yet. But, I haven’t written it off yet. It’s still a “work in progress”. The genre is still “silo-ed” imho. That is that tools don’t interoperate yet. If ever. I still have a lot of “hand operated” stuff. If I could logically add Act – Outlook – Plaxo – LinkedIn – Skype – Corex Cardscan – AOLIM – MySql – Gmail – Greader – Gpage all into one black box that synced flawlessly, then I’d say “worthwhile”.

Thanks for a great question that allowed me to summarize my thoughts. I’ll blog it when I get time.

So what do you think? Are they “worthwhile”?

[Note: An interesting idea. Instead of email, blog posts as a “conversation”. I have to get a patent and some VC money. And a slide deck … absolutely have to have slide deck! I can call it “eavesdropping”.]

TECHNOLOGY: Taking my own advice

Friday, March 30, 2007

You’ll be happy to know that I have taken my own advice. All passwords, that were previously saved in ROBOFORM on my platform, have been moved off to a fob.

http://www.roboform.com/

I recommend this as one of the things you should spend money on. (Hey forty bucks ain’t gonna break you.) And, should the notebook get stolen, the thieves can’t steal your identity.

Should they get loveable LUGGABLE, it’s not like I’m not going to notice. While it will take some time to change over a thousand passwords, it’s just a pia.

Should they get the fob, it’s the same problem. BUT, they first have to crack ROBOFORM’s encryption, before I change all the passwords.
