GOP Meltdown
January 22nd, 2008I can’t really find a single good thing to say about the current state of politics. The GOP has manifestly disappointed me with the slate of candidates (Fred Thompson could have done it for me, but he ran a lousy campaign). McCain is a RINO, Huckabee is the worst thing we could have, Romney strikes me as a used car salesman, Giuliani is pretty left-ish and probably not acceptable to the party (and for the life of me I can’t figure out why someone who is left of Giuliani does okay so long as he has the word ‘Christian’ next to his name e.g. Huckabee). It is just a lousy slate of people, and it is clear that the party of Reagan died some time ago.
Voters get the party we deserve.

Cleaning Up
December 10th, 2007Yeah, I think I’m back to this thing. You might see some changes in the next few days as I start cleaning up and re-organizing some things.
Test Post
December 9th, 2007Blowing the dust off….
Long Silence
July 2nd, 2007A whole month went by without a post. I’ve got to admit that surprises me. I’ve been so busy it only seems like a couple of weeks. I’m alive, and things are going well. AudioMonk.com is still doing very well, and I’ve had to expand by bringing my brother and a mutual friend on board as formal partners to divide the work and start designing the company to move to the next level where we will have actual employees. We’ve just come off of a two week break in our advertising to catch our breath, and we finally have all of the work caught up to present day. Now that we’ve taken the time to write some processes and lay out a procedure map, the work should flow more smoothly from here on out. In addition, I’ve established a direct relationship with parties in India to do some of the transcription work at rates favorable to us and them. I never would have believed this would go so quickly.
From the media consumption perspective, I have won back some time to read and work through Netflix again, so those will continue to be updated. I have some reviews in me, and maybe I’ll get some time to put those together.
And if you made a habit of checking here over the past month of nothing, many thanks from me.
I’m Not Dead Yet
April 24th, 2007Long time, no blog.
Truth is, I just don’t have the time for it right now. AudioMonk.com just ‘re-launched’ with a new look, and I’ve been swamped in work up until today. I certainly can’t complain, but it has been more successful than I had thought possible. Maybe I’ll be giving up that pizza job soon.
Spring is here, without a doubt.
She looks like she is up to something. It’ll probably be bad for me.
I’ve plowed through a lot of books in the idle moments I manage to shoe-horn in between three different jobs and the occasional sleep. Charles Stoss is currently wowing me with Glasshouse, Singularity Sky, and Iron Sunrise. Glasshouse in particular is a book I’d like to heavily endorse. As usual with Stross, there are more ideas per page than most writers pack into a single book.
On the DVD front, I’ve been slowly picking my way through HBO’s Deadwood. What a great f*&#ing series if you can f*&#ing all of the f*&#ing swearing. Seriously, it is great, but the language is some of the most vile stuff I’ve ever heard. There is a YouTube clip out there (no, I’m not linking) where someone strung together every curse word from one episode. It runs about 4 minutes and you can almost make out the plotline.
Have fun, and thanks for stopping in.
