Text of the page (random words):
nd sexier version of an already wildly successful product it has worlds of potential it may even turn out to be what the tablet computer market is missing any real serious competition for the ipad but it has one big problem in the short term they have yet to announce a release date for honeycomb and if it happens anywhere close to the release date of the ipad 2 nobody will notice or care for a while that will have a bearing on android powered tablet sales because most techno geeks or at least the well funded ones are instinctively drawn to the newest thing google got a tiny taste of what that kind of overshadowing might be like yesterday apparently somebody who knows somebody who knows how to contact reuters saw an ipad 2 off on the sidelines at the launch of the daily and the net was all over it honeycomb what isn t that a cereal at first blush this sounded absolutely excellent a sneak peek at what i ve begun calling the precious snuck into the launch of something far less cool simultaneously proving to the world that the ipad 2 is in fact on the way and getting free press for at least a few days from blogs twitter and a news cycle mention from traditional media as well what a stroke of genius i twittered news of the sighting just like many others after a few seconds of thought though it didn t add up there s one big flaw in this scenario as far as i see it one thing that is impossible to ignore in this age where every cell phone no matter how cheap and basic has a camera in it and in a room full of professional journalists no one got a picture of the thing that so many are waiting for that makes no sense one of them might have missed it half a dozen at most but a whole room full of reporters representing all sorts of media outlets from tech blogs to major news channels and none of them sees what is almost surely going to be one of the next big things on the market and grabs their camera or smartphone quicker than a fat kid grabs a ring ding no way this article from techcrunch com cool site has a few other points but it echos my main one as well i think we got punked sorry reuters i ll believe it when i see the pictures apple is still getting some free press and the ipad 2 is still shrouded in mystery also yesterday while google was showing off its cool new tablet os the post holiday return numbers for the android running samsung galaxy tab an android powered tablet and the ipad s closest competition were released and the news isn t good according to this article in beatweek the return rate for the galaxy tab was 13 thirteen out of every 100 are returned for a refund that s a big deal because not everyone who isn t completely happy with a device returns it sometimes people miss the return deadline or otherwise end up keeping the thing and waiting until something better comes along to upgrade so there are theoretically more unsatisfied customers out there who just weren t unsatisfied enough or able to return their galaxy tabs by the way the return rate on the ipad 2 on the bright side for non ipad tablets many tech blogs including techcrunch com were really impressed with the honeycomb os and think it might challenge the ipad they got to test it for about 20 minutes on a motorola xoom even with all the improvements to the tablet version of android we still have no concrete knowledge of what the ipad 2 s specs are yet so it really is anyone s guess still i think that apple had a bit of fun with all of us and maybe ruffled google s feather s in the process well played apple well played comments leave a comment tags android android honeycomb galaxy tab geekery and nerditude honeycomb ipad ipad2 ipostulating motorola xoom punked review rumors samsung samsung galaxy tab technology the precious work in progress xoom categories my many issues quest rant review techno logic or a lack thereof snow chaos and the merchant of hate 12 01 2011 according to this we got the most snow this state has ever seen in one day that s saying something considering the state is connecticut it s up to my hips i don t think i ve seen this much snow at one time i have dug out and am feeling the results this is the amalfi coast in italy and that is where i have been wishing i was all day today the warm sun a glass of wine and gorgeous men sounds great right now there s too much going on in the aftermath of the shooting in arizona my previous post s topic not to go back to it and since i couldn t do much other than dig out i ve had a decent amount of time to work on this here is my opus magnum on monday evening bill o reilly said on his fox news show the o reilly factor that those calling for the political debate in this country to take a more civil tone in the wake of the shooting of a congresswoman merchants of hate because some on the left had taken the opportunity to go after various conservative voices naming them as potential unintentional accessories to the crime before anything was known about the shooter go figure he singled out national publication which had specified specific individuals like sarah palin michele bachmann or groups like the tea party ites conservatives or the right in general but expanded his point to include anyone who had put out ideas about lowering the intensity level of our nation s partisan tone so you say can t we all treat each other properly cause somebody could get hurt and you re labeled a merchant of hate i expected being an evil nation destroying villain would be different to tell you the truth i mean do i get a costume do i get a scythe a mace a cat o nine tails it seems like a merchant of hate should have something dangerous painful and medieval in their hand i m envisioning a combination of the grim reaper a ringwraith and a dominatrix or the male version thereof beware you are in the presence of a merchant of hate hey are those bbq potato chips sweet mr o reilly also made a claim that it was all due to a great liberal fear of the left wing dissolving that s madness plain and simple the left wing isn t going anywhere even in the good old conservative days of father knows best mandatory prayer in schools the acceptance of the use of every racial ethnic religious and social slurs except those pertaining to white protestant middle or upper class men the days before the civil rights movement women s liberation or the first pride parade was ever thought of there was still a left wing don t believe me look up joe mccarthy to see how scared they got people they were always there and no matter how small or large their number conservatives have always been screaming that they would destroy the country and should be stopped news flash mr o reilly the left is not going away there s been a political shift a common occurrence in this country but barring some large scale mao style re education effort or the far right wingnuts getting the right to make arrests on sedition or treason charges there will still be a population of liberal thinkers in this country involved in politics voting and serving in elected office if the our system of national government can accommodate the views of the likes of ron paul in can also handle those held by people like nancy pelosi and everyone else on the spectrum it s been making things work in spite of our elected officials flaws for 235 years and i have faith in it i find it strange that some who would wrap themselves in the mantle of patriotism and americana would view the building blocks of our country as so easily able to be broken come on we re stronger than that i might be a merchant of hate according to mr o reilly but i stand by my statements in my last post i don t care what the shooter s motive was if thousands of people not the usual punditry suspects but average people hear that a member of congress was shot and start talking about tempering political rhetoric that should be a hint that maybe there s a problem there why not be proactive and curb our collective enthusiasm before it gets someone hurt and for goodness sake don t ramp it up just for the hell of it or because you like controversy or because you think your base will love it i still believe that the caustic nature of our national climate is unhealthy and should be diffused not through the passage of legislation but through a little self restraint on the part of our leaders and those who put their political opinions out for all to see myself included this evening the president spoke at the university of arizona at a memorial for the victims of this senseless act his eloquence served him well i found his thoughts about the youngest victim nine year old christina taylor green words about public service viewed as nobel through the innocent lenses of a child s eyes i want to live up to her expectations he said why not try seriously let s make the effort there s no downside that i can see to treating politicians like people instead of demons a few paragraphs back i mention having faith in our governmental process well since i m in a quoting mood ella grasso the former governor of connecticut the first woman elected governor in her own right is quoted as saying it is not enough to profess faith in the democratic process we must do something about it we need to do something about the way we debate we need to not take the easy way out the systematic shredding of an opponent s humanity as opposed to taking them to task on the more academic less sensational realm of stands on issues and economic plans and polling data and all the other nuts and bolts of policy wonkery another politician who is way before my time said in his inaugural address so let us begin anew remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness and sincerity is always subject to proof the topic of john f kennedy s quote was the cold war compared to that partisan hyperbole seems a lot easier to handle if you missed it this is the president s speech and the

what i refer to as good christian driving 14 12 2010 first of all this isn t me railing on christianity less than two weeks before the big divine birthday party no this is about bad driving habits particularly those of people who feel it necessary to immediately slam on the brakes and allow any vehicle that wishes to cross the road or merge into traffic no manner what is going on around them in an effort to be a nice good sweet person incidentally i ve included directions so that my explanations make more sense it might sound a little like algebra but i promise it s not i happen call this process good christian driving because it reminds me of all of those small selfless actions that the teachers of the religious instruction classes i took as a child would ask us to do around advent and lent see it s nothing derogatory just me reminiscing of my angelic child self ok i m stretching the term angelic but you get my point the image to the left is what can and often does result from good christian driving even if you ve never been in an accident because of someone in front of you trying to get one random act of kindness closer to a spot on heaven s reservation list i m sure you can think of time that this has almost happened up until today the closest i d come to being an unintended consequence of someone s goodwill toward others came when i was helping one of my aunts move and someone who had been given a chance to cut across into my lane of traffic drove out and nearly t boned me because at this particular point on the road if there is heavy traffic in the lane in front of you northbound you can t see the lane you re trying to merge into southbound essentially you trust the person letting you cross in front of them and drive blindly into the southbound lane not good the only thing that saved my butt both from the car suddenly appearing in front of me and from my aunt who was following couple cars behind me was that my chronic leadfoot itis had been tempered by the fact that i had all of my aunt s glassware rather shoddily packed in the back of my car the sound of it rattling around back there and knowing that if anything got broken in transit there would be no escape from my aunt once we got to my house for dinner clipped a good 5 10 mph off my average speed today i officially became a good christian driving victim there was i nice fellow in front of me in a large pickup truck how do i know he was nice well he let several people going east cut through rush hour traffic on a main road westbound to get to a side street northbound he did so even after the light turned green how kind the issue came when with two cars stacked up behind me now someone missed the memo that everyone was still stopping even though the light was green and hit the gas instead of the brake that suv hit a car that hit a car that hit my car at least one car was towed and at least one person went to the hospital my mother my dog and i are all ok my pink chariot is too aside from a messed up back bumper which i m not too phased by the car drove home fine and since i was in no way at fault i got no ticket on an unfortunate note as a result of the traffic backing up from our accident at least one more collision was caused by a similar chain of events that s a minimum of six cars messed up in one way or another and at least one hospitalization all because somebody thought holding up everyone on a busy road when they re impatient to get home was a good idea and what happened to saint pickup truck once i got hit i m certain he got to watch my mother and me whip forward and my 25 lbs dog bounce off the back of the seats he was gone hell of a good samaritan right this is for you saint pickup truck wherever you are i have another symbolic gesture for you but i ll leave that to your imagination comments leave a comment tags central digit salutation worthy good christian driving accident bad driving car crash driving epic fail my pink chariot rant
