I just picked up a new book from John Hagel III, author of Net Gain and Net Worth. This one is titled “Out of the Box: Strategies for Achieving Profits Today and Growth Tomorrow through Web Services”. Web Services is the TCP/IP of the Integration world. Where TCP/IP allowed a variety of computers to connect via the browser, Web Services Continue Reading
After doubling in his season opening at-bat, Griffey strikes out on a pitch head high with the bases loaded and one out, thus starting the fans grumbling. If he can stay healthy, this won’t be the norm. But I sure was frustrated that he couldn’t capitalize on that great opportunity to begin some fan PR by getting a big slam Continue Reading
This sports page will remain Blue in honor of the Kentucky Wildcats of 2003, and the Tennessee Titans, who just fell short of another SuperBowl Birth. Both teams overcame discouraging starts to end the season on amazing streaks (Titans went 11-1 until losing to Oakland in the AFC championship, and Kentucky won 26 in a row after starting 6-3, before Continue Reading
Used to be the Reds made a good showing opening day, even in not so hot years. I was about to say, “Maybe the Reds offense can come alive and make a game of it yet, just before Adam Dunn grounded out to the pitcher after jumping ahead 3 balls and no strikes. I thought that was usually a hitter’s Continue Reading
Reds opening day starter signals ominous beginnings for a questionable rotation in 2003. See “Reds stinking up Great American Ballpark early”.
2003 starts off just great for the Reds. Haynes gives up a 2-run homer ro ex-Red Reggie Sanders, then after issuing a 2-out walk to opposing pitcher Benson, gives up a 3-run homerun to Kenny Lofton? The pathetic pitching already killing us. Before I can get another sentence complete, Jason Kendall jacks another for back-to-back homeruns, the third in the Continue Reading

“ColdFusionMX” is an entry in My Web development, which has been a ghost section over the past few months.
I bought the Cold Fusion MX Web Application Construction Kit earlier this week, out of a sense of urgency to get going and learn this….already several contacts I have made are doing work in Cold Fusion. Since I’m already in the Macromedia fan corner, I might as well do it. It all looks so familiar, from having been an ASP Continue Reading
Today I have found myself feeling more hopeful and confident than I’ve been in a while. A doctor had given me a 4 week supply of Paxil back on Feb. 20th, when I was having all kinds of back tightness and tightness in the lower chest and left side. It seemed to keep in check a lot of feelings of Continue Reading
Kenneth links to a great piece exposing some of the most common prowar arguments and their holes
This piece pointed to by Dave Winer and a few others is outstanding, particularly the punch at the end: So I put this on as a modest riposte to men with flags in their lapels who shoot missiles from the safety of Washington think tanks, or argue that sacrifice is good as long as they don’t have to make it, Continue Reading
Being a Kentucky Basketball fan, I’m a bit deflated tonight (sports wise — otherwise it was a pretty good day —- see the post later today) . Actually, the gloomy outlook for the Cats began Thursday night in the first half when Keith Bogans went down, and then finding out later that he had a high ankle sprain. They outlasted Continue Reading
Yesterday morning was one of my toughest times since my unemployment began. I even got in the car and drove over to Janet’s place of work ( a day care program at a Church) , and happened to arrive during nap time, so I could sit there and tell her a little of the discouragement I was feeling. The night before, Continue Reading
Wouldn’t it be great if I were able to find that dream job, with a theological organization, that sent me to an event like this to research the possibilities for the Church?
