Caleb Kalev

The other night the name Caleb popped into my head. I recognized it
as biblical. Tonight, I looked the name up. I found the bible story.
The Hebrew form of the name is Kalev, which is also a name common in
Estonia. Both Estonia and Finland are part of a region known as
Kaleva. The epic Kalevala is based on the oral traditions of that
region. Just more coincidences.

Be Nice

It sounds simple or hokey. Belief that it works makes a difference. When I was driving a taxicab, I made a decision to be nice. I believe there is a famous quote in HARVEY on that and I found it in the script and highlighted it when I gave it as a gift to the lady that opened a place named after the play/film.

Deciding to be nice takes practice. Especially for a smart alec like myself. Sometimes it started with acting nice or playing nice. Soon the rewards started being noticed. Eventually it wasn't an act. But being nice is not being a doormat and giving in. One my most difficult challenges is learning when being nice is really doing more harm than good. Enabling does more harm in the big show.

its NICE to be NICE.
MEAN PEOPLE SUCK.

Crazy Insanity

Some time ago I heard an opinion that stated that our world is so insane that going insane is an ex officio sane act.

Currently I am struck by the apparent rapid rise in mass killings. Parents killing children, children killing parents, workers killing bosses, strangers killing ministers and I will not go on. Are there that many people so close to snapping? What happened to world society?

The world is in many types of turmoil. It is easy to say "Its the economy stupid" But I don't buy that argument. I believe the loss of hope is the culprit. Persons that derive their feelings of worth externally are also part of this. Constant need for attention or recognition or points which can even be cash, all play into what I am thinking.

This hopeless or loss of external life points seem to drive people to extend their misery to others in their sphere. I have no idea how this can be fixed and can only hope this purge will remove the elements from the grand plan. I have weathered a good number of setbacks and have got past them with a number of external intervention. While it is difficult for me to ask for help when I need it, I force myself to seek it when I have lost hope. I am afraid I may be losing hope over these crazy killings. I don't know who can help. Maybe we all can.

Be nice. We cannot know what is going on in someone else's life. A cruel remark or even indifference may be what it takes to set off a volatile soul.

Blue Shirts

SEARS is touting their appliance blue crew on recent TV Ads. I can't miss the comparison to BEST BUY associates. I wonder if consumers will see the shirts and subconciously associate the blue with low prices? Intriging I know, just wish I had more to back up my hunch.

Phone books by their very nature are out of date immediately upon
printing. People move and businesses close. But for that very reason
they should at least be fact checked. Windstream is the land based
network for the majority of addresses, the data custodian. It took
over from Alltel which in turn took over from Verizon which grew out of
GTE. In the new book, Alltel is still listed as the local carrier.
This despite their exit from all land line service years ago to become
a wireless only company. The Lexington non emergency number only has
six digits.

The Perfect Friendfeed for Ke7in

The Perfect Friend may already be here. I believe it suffers from the do everything for everyone mentality that bloats the Redmonsters product. I have always been a multi-tasker, and I have long had multiple blogs on multiple topics.

The way I think friendfeed should work, is, as a new user, you should be prompted to add your feeds. Once you have a coherent feed, then look for your friends. But by default channels be you + friends or just you. Chances are, the friends you find (at this time) will be power users that do it in excess, and that can be intimidating to someone that just wants to combine his facebook status and diggs into an easy RSS feed. Can a for dummies book be requested? Can you get that vidiot professor to give away a cd-rom on it?


At the risk of sounding like a self aggrandizing sop, I think of friendfeed as my effortless way of creating my own personal version of daVinci's notebooks. An easier analogy may be how Dracula the novel is arranged. Thats what friendfeed does for me. It pulls everything from my disparate sources and puts them in a one stop shop. sometimes I will come up with a revolutionary and clever something, and I will send out a twitter one shot, refer to it in Facebook Note then clarify direct to Friendfeed, as comments. such that FF is the only place you need to go, IF you actually want to know what I am talking about.

I am not out to change the world. I hate proselytizing to others about how I think they should do things or how things are. So I create my metaphorical mountaintop, and let seekers come to me for the answers. If they know how.

Incidentally, I have my ff rss feed shipping out to another twitter account that I never post directly, well, I do, but only when I want the seekers to have a bit more info than my standard run of the mill followers.
