TECHNOLOGY: FACEBOOK flaw

Sunday, September 7, 2008

Always thought birthdays were a great way to setup a granfalloon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granfalloon

You can’t find dotcomeraden! http://tinyurl.com/34n533 on Facebook who share your birthday.  Only your Facebook Friends can do it for you. It’s like a “Robbie Burns” message. You know the gift to see ourselves as others see us. Facebook tells me that you share the day with others in my circle; it doesn’t tell you.

Here’s a gift you can give your Facebook Friends. A networking stretching weird one. They did NOT say that opportunity would be a fat old man with strange ideas!

POLITICAL: Watch what people do; not what they say!

Republican Recycling
by David Harsanyi on September 6, 2008
*** begin quote ***
This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.
*** end quote ***
Hoot! Talk about your gun, your bullet, and your foot. Actions speak louder than words.

POLITICAL: Why Sarah Palin matters? Money!

Sarah Palin: it’s go west, towards the future of conservatism
Her thrilling convention speech showed that the Governor of Alaska is a force to reckoned with. But she might be more than that
Gerard Baker

*** begin quote ***

First of all she offers an opportunity for an ailing Republican party to reconnect with ordinary Americans. She’s conservative, but her conservatism is not that of the intolerant, uncomprehending white male sort that has so hurt the party in recent years. She is much closer to a model of the lives of ordinary Americans – working mother, plainspoken everywoman juggling home and office – than any Republican leader in memory.

*** end quote ***

I correctly forecast her selection. As first among three women back on March 3rd, I hedged my bet. The R’s just HAD to pick a woman.

BUTT, and there is always a big but!

I missed an even bigger thing that she brought to the ticket, fund raising power!

Money!

The root of all evil is the mother’s milk of any political campaign!

TECHNOLOGY: WPDC, Why don’t tags operate like categories?

Saturday, September 6, 2008

WPDC is the free, and unequaled, wordpressdotcom (and did I mention free!!!)

Yeah, I know “beggars and choosers”, but …

It would be nice if on the creation screen tags, like categories, could “suggest” the most frequently used ones, or show a list of all current ones to choose from.

The free, and unequaled, wordpressdotcom is still my favorite; even if it doesn’t work the way I’d see it work.

POLITICS: What Sarah P does to the election, IMHO!

Thursday, September 4, 2008

I have no like for either set of candidates. Force is force. Whether its the R’s tell in me what to do or the D’s telling me what to do, I still object to getting told what to do.

That being said, I think the media is missing the real wild card that Sarah P is.

In the USA, half the people don’t vote. Don’t blame them because voting doesn’t change squat.

Half of that no-voting half are women. If Sarah can bring out 5% of that 25% of self disenfranchised women. The election is OVER!

Of the voting half of the USA, it usually breaks 25% D, 16%R, and 9% swing.

Remember the Hilary inspired backlash? It is a concern that may be as much as 4%. The media keeps saying of that 4% “where are they going to go”. They don’t have to go anywhere. They just don’t have to NOT come out to vote.

Soooo, it could be a razor thin election.

That’s what SarahP does to the election!

:-)

Of course, I can root for every one to lose.
