Buffet has been warning for some time about some of the problems that we are now dealing with in the financial sector. He will make money in this crisis because he is a smart guy. This is kind of guy we need to listen to. Popularity: 1% [?] Sep 23
This was a beautiful piece of cloth but now it has a spot on it. Are you kidding? I was listening to a song about laundry. I set aside the translation sheet because I decided that giggling might be considered rude. Of course when one of the later songs was very sad I could only think “wow, she really liked that cloth”. When another song became fierce I was convinced “she is really mad that someone sold her cloth with a spot”. I was reminded by this experience that perhaps we sometimes put more effort into promoting a message than the message deserves. Perhaps when you get a spot on your clothes a short note to your dry cleaner would be a more appropriate mechanism for communicating your displeasure than an opera. I wonder what sort of an opus would have been created if the waiter forgot to serve the salad dressing on the side. I think as companies or individuals we should evaluate the message we have before we determine the means of communication. Sometimes when people are not responding it is not the communication mechanism that is the problem. As a footnote i thought is somehow cruel that one of only three pieces in English was a lullaby. Now that’s just mean. Popularity: 6% [?] Sep 16
The funny thing about LiveBar we wanted to show this to everyone months ago but we liked it too much. LiveBar did not start as a product, it started as a demo for our new LiveAPI Suite which we announced last month. To sell the LiveAPI suite we wanted to have a demo application that would show off what we could create with it. So we had one of our clever engineers start working on a demo. Our problem was that when he showed it to us we liked it so much that we did not want to show it to anyone, which as you may have figured out is OK for an application but really bad for a demo.

I was just trying out the script debugging in Safari version 4 developer preview tonight and got more than I bargained for. I was trying to find out if I had a script error in my tags for Google’s new AdManager on the Amateur Traveler discussion boards pages (http://AmateurTraveler.com/board). I turned on the web inspector by using the “Show Web Inspector” menu in the Developer Menu. Instead of getting just script errors on my page the web inspector showed me errors in my HTML as well in a very clear and helpful way. In the example below I was missing tags in my HTML and the inspector tells me where it is assuming I meant to have these tags. This is very helpful.

Watching this video of trick pool shots left me saying things like “I can’t believe it” and “how did he do that?”. We all learned in the Empire Strikes back with Luke Skywalker that if we don’t believe that something can be accomplished then we won’t be able to do it. I wonder how many times I let my imperfect understanding of what can be accomplished limit what I will accomplish. Popularity: 9% [?] |

I visited my daughter at her college this weekend and one of the activities we attended was a recital of her voice teacher Dr Margaret Hanegraaf. Her teacher and accompanist were performing a series of short operatic pieces predominantly written in Spanish. Dr Hanegraaf has a beautiful full operatic Soprano voice and the songs were very well performed. Now I personally am not an opera fan and I had been up to between 2-3 AM trying to stay up with a college sophomore so I was very tired. In my effort to stay focused I pulled out the translation of the very dramatic piece I was hearing. The translation went something like:
LiveWorld (where I am the EVP of Engineering and Operations) announced a new product called
