If you link to their site, they send you a Nalgene Bottle and I love me some Nalgene bottles. I also love me some Amino Acids!

If you haven’t heard about the 2007 Tostito’s Fiesta Bowl where Boise State knocked off football juggernaut Oklahoma, then you need to check out this video of the last few minutes of the game. Not only did Boise State pulled off a hook and lateral play, but they also, as you will see in the video, pull off a halfback TD pass and the State of Liberty play on the 2pt conversion to beat a football POWERHOUSE. Unreal!

This isn’t another post about how you should be careful about what you say because it could be discovered by your employer (or potential employer) because that would be a case of tunnel vision. Be mindful of what you write in your blog because anyone can potentially find it… future boyfriends/girlfriends, employers, friends, etc.

If you haven’t done this before (and I have) then you’re probably going to in about three seconds, google someone you know. Heck, google yourself and see what happens. If you have a common name like me, then it doesn’t matter because there are a million Jim Wang’s. Even if you were like my friend Chih-Wei Yi, there are a lot more Chih-Wei Yi’s then you’d imagine. (The first site titled Chih-Wei Yi is not him).

But… if you dig a little harder, you will find almost anyone you can think of. With more searching, you’ll probably find that person’s blog and all the information they thought was only being shared with close friends.

So… be careful about the image you project (especially if you like to rant on your blog, like me!) and what your blog says about you.

Poor Pluto, it gets no respect.

Seriously, who cares?

I’m just trying to read the new regulations on what I can bring on a plane and what I can’t, so why does the BWI airport have the light gray text on a white background? The header also has white on light gray, I mean don’t these people ever read this stuff?

Think of Emurse.com as a resume clearinghouse. You can upload or manually enter in your resume, track where it goes (if you don’t mind sending a little Big Brother-ish clear GIF along in your emails), and create a webpage for it. If you enter a Word document, it doesn’t get processed and entered in as an Emurse resume, it’s like a separate pariah of a resume that isn’t really in the system. I don’t understand what the big hoopla about this is… or it a case of another app that all the Web 2.0-ish companies out there are just pimping because it’s one of their friends?

Someone please explain why this is so wonderful.

Hugh Hewitt makes an excellent point about how the rail attacks in Madrid, the London subway bombings and the recent Mumbai (Bombay) subway bombings all could easily happen in the United States if not for the effectiveness of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies but that all of this is put into jeapardy by mainstream media hungry to reveal whatever they can in the search for “truth.”

It may take a decade, or a generation, or even longer, but if these papers survive (and there is great doubt on that score at least as regards the Los Angeles Times) a day will come when their editors issue an apology for the fecklessness. It will be too late for some future victims, but like Walter Duranty, Keller and Baquet will eventually be discredited and their papers shamed.

Sometimes people need to step out of their self-righteous role (that they often put upon themselves) and see what should be done for the greater good.

Bode Miller is complaining that the media made him the ‘most hated Olympic athlete’. Ha, what made people hate him was the fact that he won nothing and then acted like a worthless prick throughout the entire thing. It’s one thing to not win a medal, but when you stand up there saying you don’t care? C’mon, let someone who cares get a shot at a medal… if you screw around and mess up, people will hate you. If you’re good enough to mess around and still win, then you’re the better for it.

No one forced you to be an Olympic athlete, now get out of the limelight.

Watch the video… because al-Zarqawi and his crew were blown the f’ up.
