Ebay and Oracle Team up (actually its ebay and skype…)

September 12, 2005 in News | No comments

Its called ora-bay. They own all the bases that used to belong to us. Man that stinks. But I think VOIP will never be the same. In reality Ebay can now make skype-out calls and have commercials asking us to buy some gizmo or gadget. I use skype happily and I use ebay mostly happily. I think we get down to the true powers out there:

  • yahoo
  • google
  • ebay
  • amazon

and so it goes… soon they will own the known universe and google maps will allow us to see all they own including our bases. Don’t bother to add some has been company to the list like Oracle or Microsoft. The true power is in the search bar, the fluctuating costs of a Thinkpad Battery, and the global shopping index at Amazon. Add to that making a free skype call and you got da power.

I don’t like Monday

Well, the BTR (boomtown rats) tell me not to also. There is something about Mondays which seem to always border on ends and beginnings. Perhaps it is like what they say,

The Telex machine is kept so clean.
As it types to a waiting world,
And Mother feels so shocked,
Father’s world is rocked,
And their thoughts turn to.
Their own little girl.
Sweet 16 ain’t that peachy keen,
No, it ain’t so neat to admit defeat,
They can see no reasons.
Cos there are no reasons.
What reason do you need to be shown,Br.

Perhaps there is no reason. But Mondays seem hazy to me in all regards. Its like I enjoyed the weekends and especially Friday night with friends at GB’s. Wednesday and Thursday, I’m heading up to visit Ed and no doubt we will also go to SN’s. I’m gonna be riding the Capitol Corridor Amtrak line up there and I’ll be sure to have a good Wednesday and Thursday.

But Today is Monday and I don’t like Mondays…

Tell me why.
I Dont’t like Mondays.
I want to shoot.
The whole day down.

Well not the whole day just the beginning when the kids go off to school and stuff and all the hesitation, desire not to go, etc.
