My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

It's Only Monday ?

We watched the latest Karate Kid last night.  It was actually better than I expected it would be.  Believable, maybe not.  It was a good entry movie for Jaden Smith and a somewhat serious role for Jackie Chan, which he played pretty well.  I'm not sure which one I liked better, but to a new generation of kids, there is only the latest one.

Today was like three or four Mondays.  It was awesome.  It got to the point that I was reluctant to return to my office because the phone kept ringing.  In honor of all the people that got laid off, I am NOT complaining, just ragging a bit.

Well it looks like the World Series is set, Rangers vs Giants. I hope someone, somewhere is interested.  I guess it bothers me that grown men get to play a game shot up with drugs making boo- koo bucks AND they still charge a fortune to go to a game.  Even a hot-dog is $7.50 and up, depending where and what condiments.  I know somebody has to pay in order for the owner to pay the exorbitant salaries so that grown men can play a game, but it is just ridiculous.  SF vs Texas doesn't even strike me as an expected and natural kind of rivalry.
