Work Is Calling
If you are working your ass off, join the 'No Life' club. Work is calling (ringing the phone off the hook), so no post today. I think I might start queuing up posts and save them for a rainy day, because this is getting old. Later.
Remember The Time
On the way to work, I heard back-to-back Michael Jackson songs on the radio and thought what the heck? Is it Michael Jackson day? I completely forgot that today, June 25th, marks the 1-year anniversary of his death. Posting a video as tribute to the musical legend.
Wacked Webmail
I wanted to publish a post titled, "Cap In Your Ass" about AT&T's latest scam, but I have to air out some dirty laundry. I have several email accounts hosted with GoDaddy and recently became aware that my email client is broken as in got kicked in the nuts.
I encountered the broken email client a couple days ago, but I did not think much of it at the time. Someone is screwing around in production or an update went south (been there, done that). Well, I tried it again today and the email client is still wacked out.
Take a look at the image below. It is a screenshot of the client (region). Note the buttons, format, and labels are jacked. I tried it in IE 8.x, FF 3.x, and Safari 4.x with the same results and need this fixed. Am I being punked? I scanned the system for viruses and nothing!
Ignorant Whiners
Unbelievable! Last night, I published a post about the cool, 'playable' logo on Google's main page. Today, I find posts on Google's Help forum from whiners complaining about the logo. I copied some excerpts for your review. Lame! Be sure to read my comments too, ha!
I had to remove google as my browser homepage. This damn pacman sound has cost me an hour and a half of my time trying to disable it. It is a complete ultra-mega fuck up. Google has lost alot of clients over this. Wassup Jose says - It took you an hour and a half to disable the sound? You are a dumbass! Good riddance.
WTF?Pacman sounds?Really?Whoever thought up this idea should be hung,shot,dragged behind a car,set on fire,then start the real torture. Wassup Jose says - Got your skid marked panties in a bunch over a playable logo? You must live a fucked up life. Loser!
Let's explore the possible scenarios here people.
1. Mega-Giant IT services Google is brought to it's knees by a silly Pac-Man widget, file for bankruptcy, and disappears forever off the face of the earth.
2. Google cuts the sound out the widget, everyone forgets about it in a week, and life goes on.
Any bets on #1 ? Wassup Jose says - How about scenario #3? Fuck heads like you stop breeding and the entire free world rejoices as the imbeciles become extinct. Switch to Bing loser, Google does NOT need you.
Leaf Blowers Blow
Haha, another one of my creative post titles. I have always hated the loud ass leaf blowers, but today one son of a bitch would not shut up. He was running the blower at mid-to-high speed over a handful of damn leaves. Mofo, bend over and pick the shit up!
I am pretty tolerant, but I can do without the 20 minutes of non-stop blowing right outside the window. The worst part is that he had the 500cc two-stroke engine edition, which one can hear a block away. Btw, I am not the only one that hates the damn blowers!
Quick Kudos
I talk shit about everything and anything most of the time, so I want to change it up today and give kudos to two products. First, Pandora Radio for being a great service. I create my stations, sit back, and listen for hours while I work. Use QuickMix for a nice variety.
It pains me to give kudos to this next product, but the product is pretty solid. Hold on to your hats people! AT&T U-Verse costs an arm and a leg, but it has been reliable and their caller ID and DVR updates are nice. Yup, just gave AT&T kudos. The world is ending!
Not so fast Ricky Racer! I do have a minor complaint about Pandora Radio. If you are using the free version, one can advance to the next song only several times per hour. Boo! Also, I noticed higher than desired repeats on some stations. Other than that, it is great.
Flakey Photographers
I am ready to drop a couple of "F" bombs, but will wait until I get this post out of the way. If you have been reading the sexy feet posts, you know that I am trying to launch a site for our readers. I dropped the ball a couple months ago, but continue to work on it.
The website stuff is ready, so I placed ads for the sexy feet models and met with a couple of photographers. The sexy feet models are eager and ready to shoot for the site, but the "professional" photographers have disappeared or changed their minds.
Car Rental Rates
Its time for another rant. As long as I can remember, car rental rates have been all over the board. Weekday and holiday daily rates are usually through the roof with weekends being a bit more realistic. Reserving a car weeks in advance can score you lower rates too.
I have not rented a car since I stopped traveling for work, so I was blown away when I tried to rent a car and saw the bend over daily rates. I need a car for Friday (not last minute, so the rates should not require a second mortgage right?), so I checked out Dollar.
Okay Dollar, are you going to hook me up with a deal or do me dry? SOB! This is twice in 2 days that I have had to yell out, "Son of a bitch!" Check out the screenshots below to see why I was pissed off. Oh, other agencies have/had higher daily rates. Go figure.
Where Are They Now?
If you have been following the drama regarding my small portfolio of domain names, read on because I am checking up on the kids. Where are they now? Did they end up with a piece of crap squatter or did they develop into award-winning websites?
Where is eBooties.com? I registered the domain name on July 7, 2006 and let it drop in July 2009. I was the registered owner for three short years and then abandoned it, nice! Well, I found eBooties.com shacked up with a squatter, poor little guy!
