Blog Video Comments
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:08:12 PDT
It's too bad I don't have a WordPress blog, because the folks at TechCrunch just announced something exciting! The ability to leave video comments on their complete blog family. The video comments are powered by Seesmic, and you can see examples on this comment thread at TechCrunch. Watch an overview of the offering here: I can't think of a cooler way for blogging to really move to a "conversation", as it brings a much more personal aspect to the contributions of readers to the discussion.
Wal-Mart Is Rationing Rice Purchases
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:15:16 PDT
That’s right. Rice is being rationed. In America. NEW YORK (MarketWatch)—Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said its Sam’s Club wholesale club chain is limiting the sale of some rice to four bags per member visit because of what it described as “supply and demand trends.” Jasmine, basmati and long-grain white rices will be subject to those purchase restrictions, as long as they are allowed by law, in the 594 clubs across the U.S., said Sam’s Club spokeswoman Kristy Reed. New Mexico and Idaho are the o

Panelists get together at the Web 2.0 Expo to talk about design led by Aaron Marcus (who is donning a horn-tipped hat).(Credit: CNET Networks / Josh Lowensohn) The last panel sessions for day two of the Web 2.0 Expo just wrapped up. One of my favorites was global design trends, a panel discussing the Web design around the world.

The immigration debate will never completely go away. Some anti-immigration types like it that way. Some immigration hawks really are driven by an honest sense of law and order, and fear of crime is particularly susceptible to anecdotal support (except when crime-rate statistics overwhelmingly argue against that fear, which, in L.A., they don’t). It’s an interesting paradox. Nearly all trends are going the way the restrictionists want. Some researchers say that border crossings peaked back in 2
Did Comcast Lie About Slowing Down P2P Traffic? Comcast]
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:36:46 PDT
When I was talking to Comcast for my round up of ISP network management practices (pre-BT deal), we talked a lot about how they manage p2p traffic, and they were very clear that the temporary slowdowns were "surgical," (their word) and only employed during heavy congestion. So I'd been using that caveat anytime I brought it up, out of fairness. FCC Chairman Kevin Martin told a Senate committee this week that Comcast lied about that: "It does not appear that this technique was used only to occas
Costco CEO Blames Media For Recent Run on Rice
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:44:41 PDT
In case you hadn't heard, the world is running scared about the world running out of rice. As a result, here in America, various food retailers have actually begun rationing the amount of the white stuff consumers are allowed to buy. Deliciously -- pun definitely intended -- the CEO of the nation's leading warehouse club, Costco's James Sinegal, blamed a lot of the problem on the media. As marvelously reported by Reuters Wednesday (emphasis added throughout): Costco Chief Executive James Sine

Hey Lampmates! I know, it’s been a minute. Esso recently asked me to update y’all with what’s been going on since the wedding. After going back and reading my last blog “The Countdown Continues,” I’m even more convinced of the benefit in doing so…So, I think it’s best to start with the prayer requests Trish and I had for the Wedding/Marriage, then bring you guys up to speed so y’all know what I’ve been up to recently. We asked for you to pray that… …the Lord would continue to give us wisdom,
Stagnating, declining life expectancy in segments of US population
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:00:07 PDT
The bottomline of a report on life expectancy in the United States is role of self-destructive personal behavior -- unprotected sex, smoking, fatty foods, and lack of exercise. But is it ultimately a failure of society, including the church, to identify the hurt and provide a message of hope? Harvard Medicine+Science reports: A new, long-term study of mortality trends in U.S. counties from 1960 to 2000 finds that an overall average life expectancy increase of 6.5 years for men and women is no
If Your Intuition Is Talking, Listen!
Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:16:13 PDT
Intuition is a primal gut instinct, built in for survival. When your pet senses danger – it retreats and follows its gut instinct. Humans are the only living creatures that ignore those primal gut instincts. We are the only living creatures that sense danger - yet continue to move toward it. Lynn Robinson, Author of “Trust Your Gut: How The Power of Intuition Can Grow Your Business” and Founder of LynnRobinson.com, is our featured guest in this Episode of The Small Business Trends Radio.
