Jew Petition?

Got an email from a friend about signing a petition for google to take down a site from a listing. I won't mention the site. This issue has been around for a while. Google has a good write up on it. http://www.google.com/explanation.html

And the ADL wrote about it as well: http://www.adl.org/rumors/google_search_rumors.asp

But the peititon is a waste of time. I suggest people set up a page and link to their favorite jewish sites like this:

Jew

Jew Stuff

Jew isn't the right form, Judaism should be used too.

Babysitter Worthy

My wife and I have not been out to the movies lately, well maybe on the last year. Some of that is due to lousy choices, some to cost, but mostly cause it is quieter and more friendly to watch movies at home. I hate listening to others at the movies and can't stand the rudeness in the age of cell phones. So here's an idea coming our way soon I can get behind.

A Crackdown on Keeping their Crack Down

Was walking at lunch and had a discussion with my walking partner about how we must be getting old because we don't like that kids are wearing their pants too low. And they came back and lo and behold.....

Really, I mean REALLY Bad Error Message

I spend way too much time in my life thinking about what is and isn't appropriate to say. We all do. I do it for software programs and web sites from time to time. Mostly developers will make an error but more times than not the error is in the hands of the user. We try to make messages that are helpful and not condescending. But this one is ridiculous.....

Where to Kayak in PA

I love to kayak so much I have two Otters, one for me and one for my wife. Just don't get the time to do it enough. We have gone to Marsh Creek a lot and the Brandywine and all the way to McGrath Pond in Maine. There is a group out there that takes trips in PA and NJ and DE and they have started a list of the places you can put in. Great resource if you are just getting started.

Anybody got a light?

Took the ladies to center city today to tour city hall. OMG, it was incredible. No not the tower. No, not the sculptures. What I was amazed with was the lack of caring this building has had. There are amazing murals hidden unders many layers of white paint. There are drop ceilings covering up beautiful tile. There are doors made of multiple woods and designs painted over. There are clerks working in incredible surroundings with the most dour looks. But not in the Mayor's reception room. No way. That thing has the gaudiness down to an art form. Sure we need to put a good face forward in that area. But on a recent trip to Chicago, we saw that the city takes care of the government buildings and shows them off. And it brings tourists and interested parties to check out what the city has to offer. Instead, we wonder how we can market the crap we have instead of just fixing what doesn't work. Michael Nutter - we are so doomed....

What seperates you from the rest

You know who you are. You know you are different. You know you produce results and wonder why others don't. Here's why......

Is she not the greatest eSolutions Team Leader there ever was (besides the fact that she is the only eSolutions Team Leader there ever was).

WiiKii

Wikipedia, the not so evil W, the Wickster, Wicklash, Wicknerizzle. I find I am using it more and more along with Google's "define: whatever" function to quickly get answers to life's little annoying questions. But, yesterday, I was turned onto the flip side of the Wickmeister, Unusual Articles. Beyond Random pages, beyond useless info, this stuff is Wikiwierd...
