Ain’t No Party Like a Scranton Party

Oct

2007

If all goes according to plan, we’ll be spending the weekend of the 26th of October in Scranton, PA at the first ever Office Convention. It doesn’t seem quite as nerdy to me as going to a Star Trek convention, but I guess it’s pretty close.

Acting White

2007

I’m just curious why it’s alright for Jesse Jackson to criticize Barrack Obama’s response to the student beatings in Jena by saying that Obama is, “acting like he’s white.” Imagine the shoe being on the other foot and some outspoken, conservative, white person (insert your favorite conservative political pundit here) said that a leading Republican ...

2007

The resignation of Senator Craig this past weekend got me thinking about political hypocrisy and how rampant it is in America.Now, I don’t condone what Senator Craig allegedly did in any way, shape, or form, but I do find it interesting that he had to pay such a high price for his actions. It wasn’t ...

I just finished watching the 2007 Little League World Series championship game between Warner Robins, GA and Tokyo, Japan.

2007

Yesterday, Yahoo! Search Marketing announced the launch of their brand new Traffic Quality Center. The idea sounds good in theory, however… It seems the good folks at Yahoo! Search Marketing (afterwards referred to as YSM) have other issues that are at least equally as important as battling click fraud. The number one issue that comes ...

2007

The Canton, PA Little League All Star team was featured in a recent article by Jim Caple on ESPN.com. It was pretty cool to see a small neighboring (if 30 miles away is neighboring) town featured on ESPN. Apparently their 13-14 year old All Stars finished 4th in the state, so congratulations to them. Hey ...

10 Things I learned on Vacation 2007 in Ocean City, MD. The one piece bathing suit is apparently a thing of the past. Sunscreen lotion is much better than sunscreen spray. French fries taste really good with apple cider vinegar on them. Take your sunglasses off before you dive into a wave, no matter how ...

2007

So, we made it back safe and sound from vacation.Â Now the name of the game is, “Catch Up.” The beach was amazing. The weather was great every day except for a little bit on Friday, our last full day at the beach. Can’t complain about that. I’m so glad my parents aren’t the kind ...
