Friday round up - Google, China, the FLDS, Twitter and other random thoughts

Published on April 25, 2008

Google brand equity. Someone thinks Google has the highest brand equity in the world. I disagree. If a better search tool came along you, me, and the rest of the world would dump them in two seconds. They may have “equity” given the value of the company but they have no real loyalty.
China has more […]

From the “WTF!” files: Tent cities spring up in LA as a result of the mortgage crisis. Notice this is a BBC report - I haven’t seen this in the national U.S. media:

Sad!

Today’s rate cut will only assist in our further economic demise

Published on January 22, 2008

The rate cut will be great in the short term. I expect a refi boom lasting into the summer that might help the subprime situation. Long term, this will only contribute to our economic demise - inflation and a weaker dollar are going to kill us.

One door closes, another opens

Published on November 22, 2007

As I sit here reading the news this morning I am convinced that the US is heading for a recession next year. However, I’m not really all that concerned about it. We’ll work through this cycle in the same way we did in 2002 and come out on top. Don’t get me wrong, I think […]

It is time to consider Ron Paul

Published on August 7, 2007

I guess some people might consider this blogging “off topic”. Let’s get something strait - this is my blog. The topic of my blog is whatever I say it is.
Now that I’ve got that out of the way I want to discuss religion and politics. I’m heavily leaning toward supporting Ron Paul of Texas for President […]

The problem isn’t Microsoft…its you.

Published on May 17, 2007

I’ve seen a lot complaining about Microsoft over the last several weeks. I can’t help but wonder what people’s problem is with Microsoft. Is it that they build sub par software and still make billions? Well GM builds sub par cars and makes billions but I don’t see anyone bashing them. Most of the open source community is building […]

A note on Society…

Published on April 11, 2007

When you are all alone in the middle of the night because you can’t sleep due to the constant sound of taxis honking at one another you have a lot of time to think over what’s going on in the world. Lately the world has been a bit of a disappointment.
Don Imus has said an […]

“Fiscal Cancer”

Published on March 8, 2007

David Walker, comptroller general of the U.S., totaled up our government’s income, liabilities and future obligations. He concluded the numbers don’t add up. Tired of politicians not listening, Mr. Walker has taken his message to America.
I highly encourage you to watch Mr. Walker in this 11 minute ABC news presentation. Here’s a great quote:
“We are […]
