Sometimes it is just amazing at how stupid some people are.

As many of you know I work at a Telephone company that specializes in Business telephone systems (We don’t mention names for the purpose of this story).  Today I had an especially interesting call.  I was trying to help a person out with one of their phones.  At one point I had asked her if the phone she was using had a standard size phone jack like she would have at her house or a larger one like a computer uses for the internet.  Her reply almost made me fall out of my chair.  She told me that she didn’t have a home phone.  She just has an iPhone so she had never had a phone at home.

Now I understand that this s a pretty common thing to now have a home phone anymore but I don’t believe that this person that had to be around my age had never what the jack looks like on a home phone.  The iPhone/smart phone movement hasn’t been here long enough that her statement could be true.

This actually reminded me of another example that Aramelle had run into at work.  She actually had a person get mad at her because she didn’t tell them that to be able to send a fax that they would have to dial a 1 infront of the fax number.  This person actually has been using a cell phone so long that they forgot that you acutally have to dial a 1 before the area code and number when calling long distance.

In the long run this might all be for the better.  Maybe cell phone can get natural selection working again so we don’t have to deal with these brain dead people anymore.

Well I have found that getting the time to go back and get all the posts that some how didn’t make it all the way up here is impossible.  At this point I am just let those older posts die and try to do a better job of making sure new post make it up and try to even post on a more consistent basis.

We will just have to see how that works out!

No, this isn’t a dead site.  I have actually been making posts here but I didn’t realize that they weren’t showing up at all after publishing them and seem to not exist.  I guess I should have be watching my front page more so they I would have noticed this.

The ones that I am can I am going to go back and redo on about the dates they were posted on so that would be why you may see some older posts on here that you could have sworn you never saw before.

A Parody of the trailer for the new movie about how Facebook was founded.

Been so excited every since I saw this article come across Gossip Gamers.  I remember playing Worms 2 for hours.  Sine that game was out over 10 years ago you just can’t get it to work on today’s computers.  Well now I will have a chance to play it once again.

Anyone that has ever heard me talk about Nevada Football you know how much I really despise Boise St.  The feeling I have for it is not just because they are a huge rival of the Wolfpack, but also just the way that they just feel like they more deserving then other teams just because they are Boise St. and just how much their fans have just become complete assholes (anyone that has been to Boise or been go a game and roots for another team knows what I am talking about).

Then I find on ESPN this story that apparently it isn’t just their fans that are in a whole new level of crazy that just boggles my mind.  The problem even extends to the the President of the University.  The President in an interview with the Idaho Statesman (which may be the most biased newspaper in the country) was quoted as saying the Idaho culture was “nasty” and “inebriated”.  This was a follow up to questions asked of Head Football Coach Chris Peterson about continuing the Idaho rivalry after they have moved to the Mountain West Conference.   To which his response was "I don’t think our fans even like to go up there. Most of Idaho’s fans are in Boise anyway.

At first when it was announced that Boise St. would be going to the Mountain West Conference I was worried about that the meant for the teams left in the WAC.  Now I have to see that thought of not having to deal with Boise St Fans Once every football season kind of excites me.

See the ESPN article here.

A while back I got an invite to Google Voice and set it up although at the time I didn’t get the Google number to go with it.  Recently I finally broke down at got myself a good number when I started realizing it was very hard for people to get hold of me in the sense for Doctor appointments and other things that I wouldn’t give out my cell phone number.  After finding out that you can also use this number to block and screen calls.

Google Voice

A while back I posted that I was starting to use Live Writer to make posts.  Well shortly after that I have tried several different programs that really basically did the same thing but now of those had the only thing that Live Writer has, plug-ins!  Well because of that and now with the release of the new Windows Live Writer Beta.  I had already been thinking about coming back just because of the plug-ins but when I saw the screen shot and saw that they were going to be using the Microsoft Ribbon for the menus.  It is going to take a lot for me to switch again.
