You might remember, my previous post regarding VeriSign and their dark plot to swallow all the web hits with their wildcard domain name search landing page.

I saw this on Slashdot.org. ICANN.org (The people who own all the domain names) issued a very harsh reprimand of Verisign.

As you should know by now, I love Humphrey Bogart. And a movie that I’ve always wanted to see, but never got around to, was The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

People have told me it was the action film of its day, but I saw something else to it, a trio of characters all with individual reactions to a fourth character. (See Below)

(Also note: I didn’t watch the game, I’m just reading the highlights on ESPN.com)

Okay, after two straight losses, My Philadelphia Eagles are back to .500 after their second straight victory, this time against the NFC East leaders: The Washington Redskins.

All I can say is YEAH! I LOVE THIS GAME!

Going back to my Geek roots, I found this on http colon slash slash slash dot dot org. Silicon.com realsed the Top 50 Influencial people in the Tech Sector.

I have a few concerns about some of the names, I highlight them below:

As I was crafting an E-mail to a friend this morning, I noticed I was using a lot of unorthodox vernacular that I’ve invented or stolen from somewhere else over the years.

I thought to myself, “How confusing of me.”

Most of these were made as a joke, but eventually developed into my common tongue. (So much so, that in some cases, people around me have adopted them as everyday language.)

Well, this justifies my computing behiavior.

(There’s always a study to justify and and unjustify things.)

But, on h t t p colon slash slash slash-dot dot org, they highlight a series of studies where Multiple Monitors increase productivity.

Now, as I read these articles, I’m not sure if they are speaking of split screening, or multiple PCs with multiple monitors.

Seeing that I don’t watch Mainstream TV, I’m forced to take advantage of when a TV Series releases on DVD.

Alias was one I was curious about.

I’m not curious anymore.

This is quickly becoming the bane of my existance.

I know I sound like a broken record, cause I rant on this subject far too much, but I don’t think enough can be said about this subject.

I’m getting sick of seeing advertisements.

I wonder about people sometimes.

Meaning: I wonder what drives people to do really odd things.

For example: Every week, I get some genius leaving me a message in my GuestBook.
Somethink like:

Name: Someone
E-mail: someone@anywhere
Homepage: homeless
Comment: …sigh

And that purpose of this is what?

This was posted on another website of mine, many months ago. I recently had a request to reprint it.

Before, the names were changes to protect the innocent.
Now, the names were just changed to give credit (Blame) where Credit is due.

Today, October 15, 2003, Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com, hosted four unique posts in a single day

Yeah, count them, four!

This is the first, and probably the last time, this has happened.

Enjoy!

That right folks. For 58 years, the Goat has won.

The Cubs are definitely under it.

It’s sad really.

Really Really Sad.

In baseball, this could be call “The Year of the Curse”

Yesterday, I commented on how the Goat Curse reared its ugly head and smote the Chicago Cubs. Last night, the The Bambino Curse smote the Boston Red Sox.

The Whig Party?
When was the last time the Whigs had someone in the White House?

Answer: Millard Fillmore, after he took over for Zachary Taylor who was elected in 1848
Taylor’s Presidency didn’t end so swell in 1850

After that, the last Whig to make a run for the White House was Winfield Scott in 1852, and he swung a whole 42 Electoral Votes in that election against Franklin Pierce.

Since then you havn’t heard much from the once proud Whig Political Party.

Until now.

I stumbled across this on Matthew-Maynard-dot-net.

The Smart Party….
For Smart People….
…. and you.

It was ugly, it was not something one would sit and watch though (I didn’t) and it always seems to end in something spectacular, something out-of-this world.

The Philadelphia Eagles went to play the New [Jersey] Giants.

Those silly Giants.
Pesky Giants.

Haven’t you learned that you have to expect the unexpected when the Eagles come to town?

April 6, 1973, a unique thing happened in Baseball. Ron Blomberg of the New York Yankees stepped up to the plate.

Problem: He wasn’t playing a position on the field.

He was just a hitter.
So that pitchers could get soft.

I was in a couple of conversations yesterday, regarding the differences in corporate cultures across this nation of ours.

And, working for a multi-national organization, with offices across the country, I’ve observed a lot of the permutations of corporate culture.
Corporate Culture, of course, being: Dress Codes, Meeting Etiquite, Communication Styles, etc.

Some of this common sense, but all of this is original thought.

You know those radio/TV spots for Bud Light?

Bud Light Salutes “Real American Heroes”

And the hero is someone like, “Mr. Handlebar Mustache Wearer” or “Mr. Giant Taco Salad Invetor”
And best of all, they are insanely funny.

Well, a new genius found the sound clips for all of them, and posted them on his website:

One of the truely revolutionizing things that happened in the past few years of Prime Time Television was the concept of “24“.

Imagine an entire day, displayed in “real time” over the course of 24 episodes. Where each hour episode corresponds to each hour of that single day.

So far the show has gone 2 seasons, and is about to start a third. “The Third Day”. And so far, this thing keeps getting better and better!

I just finished watching Season 2 on DVD, and it was amazing. Much better the Season 1.

Most of you know the punch line just by reading the title:

But this is just eerie.

As I mentioned Here, and Here, Steve McQueen is not a winning actor. But he’s not always a losing actor.

I’ve recently added a new McQueen Movie to my Steve McQueen awareness:

1. The Great Escape
2. The Magnificent Seven
3. Bullitt
4. The Thomas Crown Affair
5. The Sand Pebbles
6. The Cincinnati Kid
7. Hell is For Heroes
8. The Towering Inferno
9. The Getaway

(almost as racey as its horrible remake)

I stumbled over this article on FoxNews-dot-com.

In the public discourse on improving education, we believe the most important voice is often ignored. For the first time in the history of public schools, the student is being heard (and certainly not ignored).

When I was just about to enter high school. My mother read me an article from Dear Abby.

It was the now famous two cow model for Economic/Political Structures:

I found a reprint of it here.

Since then, I’ve always referred back to it (Cause its pretty much accurate)

And roommates who are high school history teachers, have incorporated it into their lesson plans.
I think people like it because its takes overly-complex political theory (that pseudogeniuses like Marx and Lenin droned over for years and delivered nothing) and boils them down to their pure essence.

I just finished watching another Bogey flick, Dead Reckoning. Its of the the better films during Humphrey Bogart‘s Columbia Years. (More on that below)

Its no Casablanca (The Best Movie of all time) but its equal to the Maltese Falcon.
