On the 8 Spot

Nods head in agreement!

“It’s much easier to seduce a man than a woman,” he goes on. “Women don’t have affairs for fun; for them it’s serious.” That makes it far more difficult to manipulate a woman than a man. Men are not suspicious when a lovely young girl starts chatting to them. Even a bald 40-year-old salesman in a crumpled suit with a cheap briefcase assumes he’s irresistible to women. Men are also much less hesitant about having sex with someone they hardly know.

Sometimes its all about the money. I wish I started bloggin before bloggin was about the money, but sadly I was too preoccupied then.

Recently an econoblogger emailed me to ask about a website which had been stealing his content without his permission. He asked them to stop, and they did — but he was still unhappy; I told him that the best thing to do was simply not be unhappy.

It’s the nature of blogs to put intellectual property out there, on the web, for free. If you do that, there will be lots of unintended consequences. Don’t sweat them. If Barry really thinks that Seeking Alpha wouldn’t have used the phrase “The Big Picture” were it not for the existence of his blog, then, well, that tab over at seekingalpha.com is just another one of thousands of unintended consequences that Barry’s blog has had.

Bloggers can control the content on their own sites; that’s hard enough. It’s just not worth it to start getting upset about content on other sites, especially when that content isn’t doing you any harm.

You Tube Search Is Broken

just realized that i search for a channel, well I believe its still broken.

Watching this obama ad, made me remember the my favorite show (tied with the Wire) the West Wing. I distinctly remember the matt santos ad where matt santos says “This is matt santos and you better believe that I approve this ad”. I was almost half expecting barack obama to say those very words.

This left me wanting to rewatch my favorite scenes from the west wing. thanks to youtube, Desire To watch Favorite Scenes + youtube means a half day spent on watching West Wing scenes. Damn you west wing. I love that show soooooo much!
