That is exactly what I was told by the customer support supervisor I asked to speak to at Clear.com today. This after being without internet service for 30 hours, when we had been told the problem would be resolved in 2-24 hours. So I assume being without internet service for the 24 hours previous WAS … Continue reading “This situation is no longer normal”

(Un)Clear.com
At last, a day I can write about my activities for a blog. Oh, really, you mean it was that interesting? Yes, in the "may you live in interesting times" Chinese curse way. Friday was supposed to be a good catchup day. Worked late at work Thursday night to catch some key items up. Got … Continue reading (Un)Clear.com
First Paper — editorial perspective
Huzzah! I just finished and turned in the first draft of my first paper for my Master's Degree in Communications and Leadership. It is the draft of my Personal Philosophy of Communication paper. Before starting the course I didn't know I needed a philosophy of communication. Wasn't hard for me. I'm always having a philosophy … Continue reading First Paper — editorial perspective
Objective vs. Subjective, or not vs.
At this stage I'm not sure whether I am taking a communications course or a philosophy course. Chapter two is talking about the Behavioral Scientist vs. the Rhetorician. Objective vs. Interpretive. Basically the historical Objective vs. Subjective debate. See a definition: Subjective information is one person's opinion. In a newspaper, the editorial section is the place … Continue reading Objective vs. Subjective, or not vs.
Happy 17th Carly!
For her 17th birthday we took our daughter to Cinzetti's in Overland Park, KS. It was her first time there. As every time we come there, they asked us if we have been before. And told them Betsy and I had, but Carly and Nathan hadn't. So they offered the tour, and Nathan and Carly … Continue reading Happy 17th Carly!
Amazon sub-prime
Several years ago we decided to do all our Christmas shopping online. I did one-stop shopping at Amazon.com. Shipping was supposed to have everything there by Dec. 23. On Dec. 30 the recipients were still waiting. This Monday evening I went online again at Amazon for the first time since then. Took advantage of their … Continue reading Amazon sub-prime

How come they aways save you more money than I spend in the first place? * Warning -- one piece of mild profanity in the link that you might not even notice. * I remember seeing this link before, and think the advertising is generally cute. Pokes a lot of fun at some of the … Continue reading How come they aways save you more money than I spend in the first place?
Not all Shark Bites are deadly….
This is what my son and I did last night, and it worked, but not as easily. We had a pipe freeze in the crawl space, and when it thawed yesterday, it started leaking. Since I was at work, Betsy and Nathan looked it over, and apparently it was leaking in the same spot that … Continue reading Not all Shark Bites are deadly….
The search for meaning — not quite so easy
For example, listen to Londo Mollari's attempt from this Babylon 5 clip: Okay, so most people don't try to find meaning in the Hokey Pokey. But they do try to find it in other seeming innocent places. Take for instance the below song: On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me: … Continue reading The search for meaning — not quite so easy
Is it the journey or the destination that is important
Okay, Today is the day people do New Year's Resolutions. They set goals. But usually in a few days or weeks the resolutions and goals are gone. Why? Well, in something I read earlier this week, it is because people concentrate on the goal, the destination, and ignore the process, the journey. Personally I have … Continue reading Is it the journey or the destination that is important
