Mikes Thoughts

Call it subterfuge if you will… I end up on Sunday evenings with the kids in bed and having about 1.5 hours of purely personal time in which to decide to write a blog entry, update some information on my personal wiki, read, watch TV. Not watch the Raiders this year because they are [...]

Its come to me more than a few times that we live in a world of palindromes and paradigms. We need to have things like a man a plan a canal panama or our carefully fabricated world of seeing what you want, meaning what you say, but not hearing what you thought I [...]

You ever notice after a few beers that things that were rather oblique become somewhat clearer? Of course, things that were clear become all fuzzy as well. Its like beer can bring things that you could not see clearly into a bit more focus but the downside is that the things which seemed [...]

I’ve been considering hosting providers of late and wondering if cPanel is as slow everywhere as it is here. Perhaps I just need a candy bar. Perhaps I need a shot of bourbon. One thing about bluehost is that they never respond to support calls so I think I am gonna be outa [...]

I like food. Do you all like to eat food too? As I was reading in my vaunted news aggregator, I found this blog which has a picture of a pie. Pies are food and no matter where you live on the comet; either the tail, the head, or even somewhere inbetween [...]

When you live in the fast lane, you may only have time for a single blog. You rush to get whatever client you use fired up and then you let the lingo flow. I’ve wondered how people generate their thoughts around blogging for some time now. I kinda know the way I [...]

I’m still reading a lot about the Technorati stuff like the links here to Sifry’s weblog entry. As I blogged earlier, we tend to all want blogging to matter and we expect those that support the community to provide sets of services and products that matter. But perhaps we have all gone to [...]
