Useful Thoughts and Actions Taken

The only way you can explain the total lack of innovation in the area of cell phones is that cell phone networks are walled gardens that are extremely limited in competition.  If you are are interested in browsing the internet whilst on the go to get information here is the minimal ATT/Cingular plan Rate Plan Details – Included Data 5MB – Additional Data 0.015/KB – International Data $0.02/KB Yes you read that right.

How many times have I woken up in the morning to the helicoptors beating the air early in the day. Not just one helicopter.  I’ve seen 4 and 5 of you at a time when the story is marketable.  Now some of you are no more and you are a marketable story yourselves.   Am I sorry you are gone ? Yes its terrible this happened.  Am I surprised ?  NO! This collision is a metaphor for what the press is doing to the country.  If the story is sellable you’ll tell it from the angle that sells best even if its Read more…

A poem I came across on the internet:   ITHACA By Constantine P. Cavafy, circa 1900 Translated from Greek by Daniel Mendelsohn As you set out on the way to Ithaca hope that the road is a long one, filled with adventures, filled with understanding. The Laestrygonians and the Cyclopes, Poseidon in his anger: do not fear them, you’ll never come across them on your way as long as your mind stays aloft, and a choice emotion touches your spirit and your body. The Laestrygonians and the Cyclopes, savage Poseidon; you’ll not encounter them unless you carry them within your soul, unless your Read more…

Do you assume that Paris’ porn tapes are not *reality TV* ?  That they are sex tapes leaked by a money hungry cad ?  I don’t.  Long ago I came to the conclusion that all the *leaked* sex tapes like Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson were intended leaks meant to allow them to use the porn angle to promote themselves and enhance their fame without being *porn stars*. Full on porn stars are seen as limiting themselves while leaked tapes do the same job without the limitations on career.  Thus Paris has smoked her sausage and ate it too!

I wrote an article a while back about how certain big online Amazon sellers tend to do a bait and switch.  They list large numbers of books and they do not have alot of them.  Then if they get an order they do not have they send ANYTHING hoping to buy time or ???.  You can see the original artical here:  frugalmedia01 apparent bait and switch techniques This article is about how certain types of postings are set to very low google search placements or possibly supressed altogether…… 1- Do this search -  frugalmedia01   site:amarketplaceofideas.com RESULT: It appears this article is in Read more…

So you are a high dopamine personality type and you are in tech school.  What do you do for fun ?  You are creative and you have capacitors?  I’ll give you a clue: More clues: You and your friends that are also bored are full of salt water that conducts pretty well once you get past the dry skin. Yes that is what you do.  You fashion the high voltage electrolytic capacitor into a dart with fins and sharpened tip.  Then you charge up your capacitor darts.  Then you all rampage around having a dart war.  When the person goes to Read more…

Er well almost never. My neighbor Eric Snell snapped the following photo because he's queer for the weather and he's not even a chronic pot smoker.

  I once took an comedy improvisation class with Melanie Chartoff. ( her website)    She played the sexy nasty principle Grace Musso on Parker Lewis Can’t Lose. ( I had a secret little boner for her when she was on that show )  She was on Seinfeld a few times too.  Before I went there to take the class in Santa Monica I was afraid that everyone would think I stupid and and laugh at me. But then I thought    “Wait ….. its comedy……they are supposed to laugh at me”   I then realized that I should try to be more stupid not less. Read more…

My neighbor has a new toy that consists of magnetic links and ball bearings. Just spent a couple of hours eating Bacon Avocado and Tomato sandwiches (BAT’s) and building this and thats
