Appearance
Posted by MarlenaG in Personal Expressions on September 11, 2009
Appearance, it is a topic that comes up regularly. We all wish it wasn’t what we are judged by but it is. My question, or rant, is why does everyone need to fit in a box? I am of mixed decent. I am short and curvy, my hair style is a big afro, my skin [...]
My TMI Post
Warning: This post may be a bit, um, private or sensitive but it must be said. Time and time again I see the commercials for Viagra and Levitra and they have their spokesmen saying, puzzled that one medical condition or another has effected their performance in the bedroom. EVERY SINGLE TIME I yell at the [...]
Tethered Shooting – Professional Chimping?
Posted by RyanG in Photography, Rants on March 8, 2009
Okay, first.. This post/rant was inspired by a few tweets from Chase Jarvis. That said, I’m not throwing stones, or trying to start a fight. The topic just got me thinking and I wanted to share my train of thought. Chase, and any other professional who shots tethered, I’m actually jealous. I wish I could shoot tethered. Read [...]
I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for water today.
Posted by RyanG in Photography, Rants on February 12, 2009
For the past few weeks there have been a rash of issues with our water supply lines here in our apartment complex. We’ve been without cold or hot water or both for hours at a time. It’s culminated into our landlord deciding to basically gut our water lines and replace them. So since last Friday [...]
UNYK Address Book
Posted by RyanG in Cloud computing, Rants, Reviews on December 22, 2008
I just received an email today from one of my contacts on LinkedIn. It was an invitation to join this new UNYK Address Book application which is apparently in beta. I think I’ve made it clear that I’m a big fan of anything which centralizes my information and allows me to access it through a [...]
Whopper Virgins Campaign
What you’ve just seen is the latest marketing campaign by Burger King. Every time I see teasers for this on TV, I feel… I dunno.. Just… Wrong. Something about this offends me, and I’m not really sure what it is yet. There are others who feel very strongly about it. I’m not sure I agree [...]
Check out my new ride!
No, I didn’t actually buy a super car, but I think that I should be able to. Allow me to elaborate. I live in a rather affluent part of Southern California and nice (expensive) cars are not uncommon on our roads. I spent just a couple hours recently at Shoreline (some bluffs just over the [...]
With great power comes?
I’ve been noticing a trend lately in modern cars. Everything is getting exponentially faster and more powerful, and meanwhile more affordable. You can go out today and buy a lightweight SUV or sedan from Jeep/Dodge/Chrystler with a 420hp Hemi for around $35k. But it’s not just the “hot rod” cars that are getting big power, [...]
WGA Strike, A national emergency
War in Iraq? Old news. Lead laden toys from china? Big deal. Peak Oil? Puhleez! Global warming? Pffft. What we really ought to be worried about is the Writers Guild Strike!! Now, you may already be clicking the comments link to remind me about my rant about our much adored entertainment. Yeah, I know a [...]
Where’s the music?
My wife and I recently visited a Starbucks in town, and I noticed that in place of the usual CD’s featuring the music they’re currently subjecting us to, instead I noticed a plastic card, in the height and width of a CD, but only about as thick as a credit card. I picked the up [...]
