As a dictator-in-thought currently, and ready to make my move on the quickness, I’m am SO VERY HAPPY that my website (or 5.85th Ubiquity Column) is 77% GOOD. It means the subliminal messages of my benevolent dictatorship are sinking in marvelously. You can have your dirty old 51% evil Dean. You too will soon bow down to the power of the Caramel Apple Pecan Pie Dictatorship of mine! Resistance is not only futile but so very BLAH! Have a slice of pie instead my subjects… [zing! to Dean Esmay]

Conversation with my oldest daughter Leana (2nd grade): LEANA: Daddy! I just figured something out! ME: What did you figure lil’ sista? LEANA: That 1 plus 1 always equals 11 when you look at it.

And my dear readers, the movie is pure style and so very good (in my opinion of course). A quick plot summary of the movie (via IMDB and written by Jeremy Perkins): At home, Lola gets a call from her frightened boyfriend...

Talk about a massive life change for Delphi workers! They are basically losing 60% or more of everything. My fellow Americans, how are we going to sustain the middle class with more and more manufacturing going the way of the square wheel? And can service jobs really keep many Americans solid standard of living things by itself? Full article on the Delphi cuts is here (via The Detroit News).

Well since the lovely and ultra negatively talented Comcast are taking forever and a month about restoring my cable TV and cable modem service, I just dropped them. I now have Dish Network and in another 3 - 4 days, WildBlue Satellite Internet. I’m going to be completely wireless for my entertainment and Internet needs. Happy, happy! Joy, joy! Dish Network is better than Comcast in my opinionation. I get more for less. And they have some very nice games for the kiddies to play via satellite also. WildBlue will be TOO COLL. 1.5Mbps down/256Kbps up. Perfect for my wife and I (I’m...

Yes sir! I’m still without hi-speed Internet access at home so blogging may be sporadic (using my dial-up right now). When hi-speed to dial-up is a shock but hey, you do what ya gotta do. In the meantime, I’ll probably be blogging from the local library in lovely Taylor, Michigan.
