Thirsty boy stuck in chimney trying to get drink This poor little boy was stranded outside and he decides to, instead of asking neighbors for a drink. he takes matters into his own hands and climbs up to the chimney and proceeds down to try to get into the house to get a drink. he was stuck there for 8 HOURS!!!! this article has more ! but..... Utah address systems are freaking awesome. 4300 South 4800 West... they work like co-ordinates. here's more explanation for that

"The worlds best restaurant" closes it's doors

"The worlds best restaurant" closes it's doors...... El Bulli, owned by award-winning chef Ferran Adria, will mark the end of a remarkable 27-years with a special sitting for staff and their families A Spanish restaurant repeatedly voted the best in the world has served its final dish to the public and is closing its doors for the last time They are only open 6 months out of the year. Apperantly they were not really turning a profit. that would explain the not turning a profit thing... businesses that are restrictive hours are the same as well. several local businesses had to shut down in my area becuase nobody came to buy stuff... they were only open during regular business hours, a time where not very many working people can show up to buy stuff. the places with expansive hours tend to do better since they can make more money from the evening traffic and rush after work. peak shopping times in my locale are from 2pm-10:30PM. Any time before that is dead....

last post of may--->fanboism and how destructive it is

This was in response to this: Apples sues teenager who sold White iPhone Conversion kit I dislike apple becuase of thier closed off environment, thier prices, and the general arrogance of jobs and co. and the cult like obsession with it. I know there's a microsoft equivalent, but it's not as creepy or aggressive. I also hate the fact there are so many who seem to kiss thier buttocks and make excuses for them or any company. I make no excuses for companies. If you continue to kiss butt about it you are actually hurting those companies by not letting them know something is wrong.... I always provide feedback to businesses and it helps them. I also vent about problems they don't fix on forums so they know that the knowledge is public and people are aware of it. apple users, or some dub them iholes, never seem to want to do so. they think they are perfect, when they are not, and it's disgusting. same with MS fanboys. same with linux fanboys. fanboisim i...

My intense day

we went to king's island on august 6th, 2010. the drive there to the place was smooth and uneventful. we did see a few LOLz. when we got there the price was pretty high (USD50) but we went anyways since we drove 4.5 hours to go there. we started with a really light ride called the monster, it was a little fun warmup, then us three went on adventure express, and we kinda enjoyed it, but my sister got her neck injured on that ride. we took her to the first aid center, I had to guide her there becuase her legs were numb and her neck hurted really badly. and they asked us a few questions about her situation, we told them that she got injured on the ride, and they had her resting in thier little "school nurses office" like infirmiry type place. me and hubby were deciding what to do and were confused, but we went to ride more rides to ease our tension and we wanted to se if she would just need to lie down for a while and get better and ride more rides with us. we we...

Report says Sillicon Valley economy is sputtering:PT2:case study

As for relocating, we need to kep the jobs in the US. I support relocating to cheaper areas. Disclaimer: I am in no way biased towards any company I feature on this site . Case study: GPS companies: Garmin VS magellan navigation: Garmin is the most successful GPS manufacturer out there. They have very good routing engines and have been enjoying HUGE successes in the GPS sector, They have expanded product lines and even have sponsoship with events. This company is growing and very stable and has increased thier marketshare in the GPS sector by 6% this year. magellan navigation on the other hand has passed hands 4 times and thier marketshare has dropped by 5-10% this year in the GPS sector. They have also dropped one product line and slimmed down the other. They have also dropped support for explorist label products for driving directions and made such units topo only. This company has confusing product ranges and inconsistancies. One company is located in Olathe KS The ot...

Report says Sillicon Valley economy is sputtering

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Report-says-Silicon-Valley-apf-1164884854.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=main&asset=&ccode= I think the main reason is that the area is getting more and more expensive. People don't want to move there because a 2BR condo is around 400-700k and the taxes are in the double digit k's. Also the expense in commuting is getting worse and worse. I think that if hardware companies and software companies wish to stay afloat and do good, I suggest they relocate to a much cheaper area, or they are going to continue to get burned. Another positive they can get from relocating is it will create jobs in a new area and boost another area up. However, the area that the companies do move to will need to plan the upsurge-economy very well so they do not suffer the same fate as the bay area. Also since the bay area is so expensive and exclusive to rich people it is deterring many young and fresh minded people from moving there, thus the am...
