Posted on: January 26th, 2009 Working 9-5 pt.2
Well, nothing has been done since my last rant. I guess I’m no different than the normal person when it comes to actually DOING something rather than taking about it. So, now I’m planning on the doing part. The reason for this particular rant is I came up with another example to justify my discontent with the “9-5″.
I equate working to this: have you ever had an error message pop-up on your computer screen and you just close it and continue working? That’s exactly what I’m going through. Every morning when I wake up to go to work, my error message pop’s up and says “ERROR: You are going to work to make someone else their Bentley payment. Would you like to continue?”.
What do I do? I hit yes and continue work because it’s safe and secure and society says “just do it and like it, we all have to do it”. I ignore the obvious sign telling me to get busy and do something, better yet, do what I was meant to do. I just want to add that, of course I’m speaking for myself and I’m not saying my thoughts are for everyone. Not everyone CAN handle their own thing. Until you realize it’s for you, keep your day job.
So part 3 will most likely be what steps I take to get myself on the proper course to not see that annoying error message again. Peace.

Sometimes you have to get something thats NOT the “go-to” supercar. This thing is beauty.
Project Kahn Ferrari 599 stands out in a crowd. The Carbon F1-X magnesium alloy wheels compliment the supercars sleek looks beautifully, whilst the interior completes the whole driving experience.

Posted on: January 21st, 2009 Lookback on Twitter
Twitter is an amazing application. I can see myself using it more than IM. I’ve actually made some decent business connections on there.
Once I started exploring more I noticed the things I don’t like about it. To start I don’t like being “followed” by people who don’t know me. Why is this? It seems there is some weird value in having a large number of followers. I guess if you’re a business that would be OK for marketing, but for personal use I don’t see it. Making a sandwich should only interest your close people. Not the world. Another thing I don’t like is whenever I respond to someone I follow, I get no reply, but they keep on Twittering? That’s the same as blatantly ignoring someone who’s talking to you, right? Cold. Lastly, I don’t like when a couple people are in a personal “inside joke” type conversation. That’s whats AIM is for. I at least try to keep my comments open for anyone to respond to. That seems to be the difference between IM and Twitter.
I’m still using so I obviously dig it. Just a few things that I can live without I had to get off my chest. If you want to hear more gripes, tune into VexedTech, a podcast about what vexes us in technology!
