This is for the lazy music enthusiast. You could listen to all the pop songs on 2009, but why work that hard? Why not just mash them together and save some time?
and here it is!
Dear blog spammers
I am not sure if I should be happy or sad that you have found this blog and have spammed the crap out of my comments. On one hand, I could be happy that you thought I was worth spamming. On the other hand I could be pissed that there was 8353 umoderated comments that all wanted to sell Russian Brides that came with their own Viagra supply.
I think I will go with MAD on this one.

I ran across this site, which is a truck accessories site that sells nerf bars , grille guards and the like, and it is named after a river that I know well. I decry the lack of imagination, the paucity of thought, the (insert big word that is vaguely insulting) that went into this. Worst of all, the address of the site is nowhere near the river.
Maybe it was chosen for the word ‘truck’ being in it…. At least it didn’t have an oh so modern and hip ‘x" or ‘z’ in it. It could have been Truxzeo or something pathetic like that……
In this entertaining little post , the question is asked - "Do you have the right people on the bus?" In my case I think I employ the food service person that was spoken of. I do happen to think that the idea is correct, however.
In my companies I have some very talented and smart people. They just don’t all seem to work well together. It is something akin to fingernails on the chalkboard, in that one person gets on the other’s nerves no matter what is said. I used to have a relationship like that - my mother would say to the woman I was dating "Hello, how are you?" and the woman would get upset…. very strange since both my mother and the woman got along with everyone else fine.
So how is your bus? Full of happy people that play well together, or does someone have to get off at the next stop?
Seth would like to know why people don’t care in their jobs. Well, here is my take…
In my observation, most people work for the money. Sure, we go to school and graduate and all claim that we are going to follow our passions and make a difference in the world, but the truth is that someone has to write parking tickets and someone has to be a security guard. There are just not enough marketing evangelist jobs to go around.
Given this reality, is it any surprise that the people doing the jobs that weren’t their passion and don’t make meaning in the world (parking tickets or Mother Theresa?) is it really any surprise that the occupants of these jobs are focused on getting through the day and not on delivering the best customer service experience ever while guarding a sporting goods store.
Besides, Seth you were in New York. What did you expect?
The fantastic Wall Street Journal has an entry about bars, as in a favorite local pub . I like beer. Mmmmmmm.
As for the question posed in the blog - No, bars do not seem to value their regulars. At least not my favorite pub. Whenever there is a special event, I can’t get a reserved table. Annoying….
Wordpress 2.5 now has a media manager built it - look at me use it now!
I just wrote a test post about the new Worpress 2.5 that is coming out, because I wanted to test the reaction time of Google. According to this post it can be indexed in less than 5 minutes.
The verdict? 2 minutes! Well, maybe less. I posted the article, then my 4 year old son came in to show me his new ball and then I checked - so it was 2 minutes on my end, it may have been faster at Google’s end.
Version 2.5 is out… should I try it? Or should I wait for the others to try it first, then jump in when the water is fine?
Unpopular music is free! If it is popular then you have to pay at Amie Street . This is a neat business model. I had a similar idea once (that I never did anything with), so of course I like the idea. From their site:
Music Nirvana— TechCrunch
Our community sets the price of songs from FREE to 98¢.
Get free music when you recommend your favorite songs.
iPod® Compatible, DRM-free MP3s
So go there. Get free stuff that no one else wants. Enjoy life! You can even get the music of Ashley Alexandra Dupre who is now famous for her $4300 per hour services on the former Governor of New York, Elliot “the Idiot” Spitzer. Enjoy her two singles for only 98 cents for each three minute song, which is like saying you could have her for only $19.60 per hour! What a savings!
