Does anyone know of an easy way to have LookOut (Microsoft Outlook 2003) to run all its rules against the inbox? I know I can do it by checking every rule in the box, but seems like its more work than it should be. Help?

POLITICAL: Ron Paul … on Leno
Wednesday, October 31, 2007http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/016523.html
*** begin quote ***
{Extraneous Deleted}
LENO: sales tax, flat tax, the English have this big value added tax …
RON PAUL: I’m for a flat tax … real flat … like zero!
{Extraneous Deleted}
Ron Paul: there’s probably a risk I could win!
{Extraneous Deleted}
*** end quote ***
He got a quick eight minutes at the end of the show. And the old geezer got his points across. Clearly, Leno was not amused and brought out all the Left’s tired arguments — without taxes there’s be no roads — without taxes the gooferment wouldn’t have enough to spend — without … — and when he ran out of ammo, cause Ron was mischievously hitting the out of the park, he asked his age. 72! (Regan was older.)
He, any press is good press. In this case, he did well.
I’d suggest a look at the eight minute video.
(I was a bad boy and stayed up past my bedtime to watch it live. Go Ron Paul!)

LINKEDIN: prune the deadwood
Wednesday, October 31, 2007FROM AN LINKEDIN CONTACT’S EMAIL
>the connections you made from that MySQL blast that put the recipients in the cc field instead of the bcc field
Sure, while I haven’t chatted with him yet this year, I know he had two LinkedIn accounts at one time. Wonder if he ever had them merged?
That’s a interesting question.
I don’t know how many contacts I picked up that way. I do know that my “average days outstanding is 231. And my target for LinkedIn contacts is 180.
So I’m glad you asked.
I feel that I have identified about 5% of my contacts that are “dead”. It probably makes sense to prune the deadwood.
Maybe I should have a “census” of biblical proportions? Unlike Herord’s, contacts wouldn’t have to return to their birth city. Just reply to an email. Seems like a good idea.
How do you manage your LinkedIn connections?
Or, any connections?

TECHNOLOGY: Vanguard’s website
Wednesday, October 31, 2007Vanguard’s website is so … … frustrating.
Do the developers ever really use the darn thing?
First, it confuses all of your “stuff” into one screen. Sorry, for legal purposes I know Frau and I are a couple. BUT, she does her stuff and I do mine.
Second, it confuses all my “stuff” together. My old pension plan from my own biz two years ago, my IRA, my new pension plan. It’s all muddled together.
Third, it doesn’t allow me to easily change to a new investment. Taxible accounts are very dangerous. Make a mistake and you’ve incurred taxes.
Argh!
I hate technology that isn’t easy to use.

TECHNOLOGY: A new way to collect DOTCOMERADEN!
Tuesday, October 30, 2007***Begin Quote***
Send this link to your friends to tell them about Digg. You could stick it on your blog, instant message it, or email it to people. We’ve even got a handy form below to help you email it.
http://www.digg.com/invitefrom/reimkefj
After you send the link your friends will be able to easily register on Digg and they’ll automatically have you as a friend. Your name will appear also briefly on the homepage as a recognition that you’ve added someone and so other people can see what you did. We count someone as added after they’ve completed registration and they’ve Dugg at least three stories.
Once your friends have been added you can also see them added in your profile in your stats. Thanks a lot for helping us spread the word about Digg!

Yet another way to “bond” with me.
Let me adjust my tinfoil hat. There are dragons to slay!

Poll: US Attitudes About Internet Are Insane
Written by Marshall Kirkpatrick / October 25, 2007 / 22 comments
***Begin Quote***
Zogby International and 463 Communications released the results last night of an interesting and well executed poll about the attitudes US adults have about the internet.
***End Quote***
Tracking chips, brain implants, and the whole inet in one’s head.
I agree some folks have taken leave of their common sense.
Imagine the porn industry then?

FUN: 8 tonnes of cement

8 tonnes of cement drop in for a drink
By SONIA GERKEN – The Southland Times | Monday, 29 October 2007
*** begin quote ***
A building project next door to the Howl at the Moon restaurant and bar in Gore’s Main St literally burst through the wall on Friday, sending 4000L of wet concrete spewing into the dining area.
*** end quote ***
Sounds like a college prank except this was for real.
Since no one was physically hurt, it’s good for a laugh.
If you want to see the difference in cultures, read the reporting. How calm! “… it was hoped insurance would cover everything”.
How civilized!

TSA screeners fail most bomb tests
By Michael Hampton on TSA
***Begin Quote***
Transportation Security Administration screeners at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport missed more than 60% of bomb components which undercover agents attempted to smuggle through airport checkpoints, according to a classified report. The January 2007 report, obtained by USA TODAY, also said that screeners at Los Angeles International Airport failed to detect the bomb parts and fake explosives about 75 percent of the time. But screeners at San Francisco, who work for a private contractor under a pilot program, missed only 20% during a recent round of red team testing by the Department of Homeland Security.
***End Quote***
There’s an old wall street expression that says “when you’re in a hole, stop digging!”
Perhaps it’s time for us to dig the TSA a grave. With the best of intentions, it was supposed to keep us safe. I’d say it’s an idea who’s time has past. Long past.
Give the pilot and co-pilot a side arm. (They were packing for a while when they did mail runs.) Passengers are not going to stand idly by any more while someone drives a plane into a building. Return security to the airlines where it should have been all along.
Move on to real scary things, like the gooferment flying nukes over America.
Sigh!
