A colleague at work got married and changed her name. But, then her email started bouncing. I would have thought that they have given her an alias to prevent disruption to her Customers.
Ahh, what do I know?
I would think that alias would be commonplace.
I’m always suggesting that they give you an alias based on your phone number so that in a conference call people don’t have to waste time spelling out long hard names.
But, then what do I know?

It was weird. I saw some groups with delays of days and some with none at all. So it wasn’t uniform. That’s what threw a curve at me. The unevenness for the failure. Interesting from a thinking perspective because I ASSUMED that the delay would be linear. Why I did that beats me? Guess I didn’t stop and think about it. Just breezed along in my assumption mobile. Fat, dumb, and happy. ;-)

Maybe I could create a small business out of making Yahoo and Google groups for people?

PARIS — One of France’s last World War I veterans, Rene Riffaud, has died at age 108, leaving just three known French survivors of the 1914-18 conflict, the National Veterans Office said Tuesday. Riffaud died overnight Tuesday, said Marie-Georges Vingadassalon, a spokeswoman for the office. Of the three surviving World War I veterans, the oldest — Louis de Cazenave — is 109, according to the veterans’ office.

What a unique experience has been lost. What could he have told us?

A friend may have had a TIA. Her husband called me on the way home from the hospital. It wasn’t until we were deep into conversation that I realized he was talking and driving. I rudely rushed him off the phone so he could get home safe with a promise to call in a few minutes. I hope he understood that I didn’t want more trouble. Cell phones and cars don’t mix. I think that OnStar is some how different. At a lotta cents per minute, your conversation will be short. No free minutes there. And, it’s truly handsfree with a good quality. No “can you hear me now” with it. Good thing, at those prices. Any way, I’m anxiously whiling away the minutes until he send me an email and I can call. What else can one do. SO far away. Any way, when he reads this, I hope he knows it was his best interest in my heart. Hope it came across that way. Injineers are not known for delivering good messages. Tapping the keyboard aot twiddling my thumbs. Say my grandmother’s prayer “In your hands Lord, here’s my trouble”. Let’s hope that it’s just the “Littlest” of a little TIA. I don’t make new friends easily. So I can’t to afford to lose any. Yeah, yeah, I know you’re amazed I have any with my wise-backside tongue. Nah, nah, some people like a “spicy fellow” like me. Gottago there’s his email.

This sometimes feels like a nag, but it has been able to keep my interest for 2006. So, hence, in 2007, I recommend it to you. Take their daily email, and let me know what you think next January.

Did someone forget that Sunday night was New Years? Maybe Katie was too busy with the Ford funeral to do “it”? In these days of look a like media (i.e., the media mimics each other), it was a glaring flaw. It’s pretty sad when the Game Show Network has more New Year’s hoopla than a major NYC TV station. Even more pathetic is that I noticed. Doesn’t Dick Clark look terrible? It’s noble that he tries to carry on the tradition, but it’s very flawed. It makes me think of my eventual end. Doesn’t make for good escapist “everyone’s happy in times square” tv.
Happy new year to anyone who reads this.

Well it’s been a year of blogging. I have to tot up the pluses and minuses. Despite the hype on blogging, the question is “was it worthwhile?”
Your opinion?

Boy, 15, Charged With Driving Stolen Bus

*** begin quote ***
FERN PARK, FLA. — A 15-year-old boy has been sentenced to four years in a juvenile treatment program after deputies stopped him driving a stolen bus along a public transit route, picking up passengers and collecting fares.
*** end quote ***
Let’s get this right. He drove the bus safely. Safer than some cops, politicians, and driving instructors. But society will jail. And, the reason is? Wouldn’t a better “punishment” be to give him a job?
