Random Thoughts

I decided today that I really miss Calvin & Hobbes and Bloom County. I don't get a newspaper any longer so I am not up with current comic strips, but I can't imagine there being anything up to these classics.

I really hate when things happen that make me regret trusting someone.

My TV seems to show nothing but Law & Order all the time, but I really don't mind.

I really want to start a couple of other blogs but I don't know how I could keep up with them. I really feel guilty that I haven't posted to techfires in a long time.

The new Jott to Amazon functionality is really cool - and really dangerous.

I really love working with the Drupal CMS - with a little creativity it seems to do just about everything.

I am still searching for the ultimate online contact management system. I've sort of settled on either Batchbook or Highrise - but neither are really what I am looking for.

I found a really cool blog that I think you all might like - Ton-Fifty-ONE - check it out.

TV just isn't the same since our TiVo broke. I am not sure how we are living without it.

I just recently heard of a great band called Band of Horses. I really like them. It also turns out they were here in Chicago the night before I discovered them which kind of sucks.

I am thinking that the tv news people should do something to cover the Thanksgiving travel situation. They could have someone at the airport and the train station, and maybe even at a toll booth or on a highway overpass. That would be really original. I can't believe that they have never thought to do that.

As I get older, my tolerance for the length of my own hair is getting remarkably low. Now it is pretty much 5 weeks before I start to feel it is out of control.

I started to make a list of all of the concerts I have seen but I gave up at about 200 shows. I really need to dig out the concert tickets and make an accurate list.

I like this sort of post - it lets me get a bunch of this little stuff off my list, stuff that I really can't make a full post about.

I'm a big fan of "random thoughts" posts, and while I know I just posted a short one recently myself, I don't write them often enough. They're fun to write...and fun to read.

I'm also rather fond of "random thoughts" posts that give a shout-out to my blog! (don't know if I'm hip enough to use the term "shout-out", but there it is. I tried.) Thanks, Scott! Much appreciated.

I'm looking forward to reading your concert list when you've got it all filled in and polished up.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Gregg - still haven't gotten around to putting together that list. I am still stuck thinking of the best way to present it. What started as a simple project turns into something larger but I'll get to it eventually.

Hi Scott - Michelle from BatchBlue Software here (makers of BatchBook). Glad to see you're giving BatchBook a try as a way to organize your online contacts! I would love to here your feedback on the product as we are still in beta. I'm married to the VP of Technology, so who knows? Maybe I can get some stuff implemented. We really want to be your "ultimate online contact management system"

Feel free to drop me a line. And congrads on completing NaBloPoMo, I always mean to participate in NaNoWriMo but somehow never manage to...

Thanks for the visit Michelle. I do like Batchbook quite a bit but am still on the fence.

I've posted some things in your forums and am part of your user group as well.

NaBloPoMo is one thing bu NaNoWriMo is insane - especially when you are in the midst of launching a product. Maybe next year
