Anger ManagementThings that piss me off. Also general ranting and whiningSo Ready for Kansas- June 28, 2004 At least, I thought so when I started out. I have this way-cool Treo 600 smart phone. It's a phone and a Palm organizer in one. Back in 1999, when the president of Nokia came to say hello to the Network Alchemy crew after Nokia had purchased us, I stood up at the Q & A with my Palm VII in one hand and the neat new Nokia phone they had passed out to everyone in the other. I said "I want this the organizer in that. the phone" Alas, Nokia was committed to Symbian, a different OS, and.http://egbok.com/anger/archives/000060.html Newt- June 27, 2004 I am not making this journey alone.

On the one hand, one of the great musicians of the 20th century, and the creator of soul music was gone On the other, we could now claim the really epochal passing of last week was not some old white guy who we despised while he was in office. I actually felt sad at the passing of Ronald Reagan. The eulogies of the once and present powerful were correct in saying that the man had no rancor, and...http://egbok.com/anger/archives/000057.html Dave's Conspiracy Theory- June 9, 2004 Hot off the presses at a local bar's mailing list, comes this: A little fact that has been suppressed for over twenty years is that there were actually two shooters on that dark day in March, 1981, when it was almost Bedtime for Bonzo. Buford Spleen, an unemployed pipefitter and television addict, sought to assassinate the president because he had the hots for Kristy McNichol. He had thought, perhaps accurately, that the notoriety he gained from the shooting would help him get into her pants....http://egbok.com/anger/archives/000056.html |
