Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
Something I’ve always wondered is why car companies feel compelled to use inflatable something or other to get attention. I mean, does anyone ever actually see one of these things and go “Oh. I wasn’t thinking about buying a car, but with this stupid inflatable here, I think I’ll pull in and take a look”. […]
I’m from Philadelphia, and I know the politics there fairly well. I can’t imagine my old town is at the forefront of a move to bring either free/dirt cheap wireless internet to all. Check out this plan – it’s quite amazing. Although since it is government issued, one would have to think it would get […]
The annual cash cow juggernaut that is EA’s Madden NFL Football 2005 came out a couple of weeks ago. It’s selling like wildfire. However, in a blatant act of “Give us $50 each year for the latest iteration of the game”, some stores are taking pre-orders for the Madden 2006 version already, which is listed […]
In reading my daily dose of tech news, I ran across this story about Real Networks, and their recent reverse engineering of the Apple iPod. The short of it is that Real Networks (a company who I’ve believed to be technically irrelevant for some time now) decided that they were going to essentially reverse engineer […]
Since I live in Dallas, and have the hell of living in Cowboy land, one majorly huge lifeline for me is the NFL Sunday Ticket package on DirecTV. It allows me to watch pretty much whatever game I want, so I get to see all the Eagles games, and Steeler games (my wife’s from Pittsburgh) […]
Last September, I wrote a blog entry about the greatness that is the Diet Pepsi Slurpee. It’s a great item for folks on a diet, or just don’t want to ingest a bunch of frozen sugar. Problem is that I can’t find it anymore. None of the three 7-11’s in my area seem to carry […]
Krispy Kreme introduces a frozen beverage drink, presumably to compete with Starbucks Frappucino drink. One of them is glazed flavored! http://money.cnn.com/2004/07/21/news/midcaps/krispy_kreme/index.htm.
If you’re reading this, you’ve noticed my new blog look. This is something I worked up some time ago, but never actually launched, but today decided to go with it. I haven’t totally finished it, some of the sub pages still aren’t finished, but I’m still working on that. So if you see some broken […]
At work I have one of those flip calendars where each day is a new saying. Well, the one I have at work is “The Best of George Carlin”. Today’s calendar entry was pretty funny, I thought I’d share it. “There is something refreshingly ironic about people lying on the beach contracting skin cancer, in […]
Here’s another entry from the “Would you please just GO AWAY” department. A group in Minnesota is protesting the Minnesota Twins’ plan to give away GI Joe doll to kids. I’m so blind with irritation over this, I don’t even know where to begin my rant. People like this just need to GO AWAY. It’s […]
