S.H.I.T.

on Wednesday, March 30, 2011

Memo to all employees:

In order to assure the highest levels of quality work and Productivity from employees, it will be our policy to keep all employees well trained through our program of SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (S.H.I.T).

We are trying to give our employees more S.H.I.T than anyone else. If you feel that you do not receive your share of S.H.I.T on the course, please see your supervisor. You will be immediately placed at the top of the S.H.I.T list and our supervisors are especially skilled at seeing you get all the S.H.I.T you can handle.

Employees who don’t take their S.H.I.T will be placed in DEPARTMENTAL EMPLOYEE EVALUATION PROGRAMS (D.E.E.P.S.H.I.T).

Those who fail to take D.E.E.P.S.H.I.T seriously will have to go to EMPLOYEE ATTITUDE TRAINING (E.A.T.S.H.I.T). Since our supervisors took S.H.I.T before they were promoted, they don’t have to do S.H.I.T anymore, and are all full of S.H.I.T already.

If you are full of S.H.I.T you may be interested in a job teaching others. We can add your name to our BASIC UNDERSTANDING LIST of LEADERS (B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T).

For employees who are intending to pursue a career in management and consulting, we will refer you to
the department of MANAGERIAL OPERATIONAL RESEARCH EDUCATION (M.O.R.E.S.H.I.T). This course emphasizes how to manage M.O.R.E.S.H.I.T

If you have further questions, please direct them to our HEAD OF TEACHING, SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (H.O.T.S.H.I.T).

Thank you,
BOSS IN GENERAL,
SPECIAL HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING (B.I.G.S.H.I.T)

P.S. Now send this S.H.I.T to 5 people who need S.H.I.T in their life, just not the same person who sent you this S.H.I.T. They have already had their fill of S.H.I.T.

Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
The Director Under the Main Bureau of Super High Intensity Training.
(The D.U.M.B.S.H.I.T).

My Response to ClamCase Reviews......

on Thursday, March 10, 2011

I have a problem with people reviewing iPad keyboard cases. They always want to compare them to netbooks and macbook air computers. I don't know if google will read this response, but I hope that you morons out there trying to make these comparisons will eventually see reason.

These so called 'tablets' (still nowhere near as cool as the TabletPCs which have existed since 2001) are very useful satellites to your regular use machines. I can take my iPad (and soon my Android powered tablet) into a meeting and not have to carry my really heavy laptop and charger. Sure the macbook air is pretty light and slim, but I promise you that VERY FEW businessmen are issued macbook airs when they start work. They are given five pound DELL and HP computers. So even if the case doubles the weight of the tablet, it still comes nowhere near the weight and size of probably over 95% of the businessmen out there who would even consider bringing their ipad into a meeting instead of their computer.

So size and weight really aren't viable dispute points. Any case is going to increase the thickness of the iPad, but seriously... who cares?? My iPad is currently in a leather portfolio with a bluetooth keyboard integrated with it and it is still half as thick as my Day Planner ever was and just as thick as my leather notebook portfolio. Size really isn't an issue here. It's not like we are comparing something slim like an iPhone to the old brick radio phones of the 1980's or something. So what if it turns out to be a whole INCH THICK!!! What will we do?!?!?!?!? The fact is, the iPad is too fragile to be without protection. The aluminum back will dent and scuff just by looking at it. The screens of iPhones are known to shatter on impact regardless of your screen protector, so that is another area which warrants protection. Don't call me crazy just because I'm smart enough not to care that my sexy slim iPad is encased in protective padding.

So get over it Apple fans. I know you are all trying to overcompensate for something, but size really doesn't matter. I don't know what you could be trying to compensate for by trying to get the smallest and slimmest toys around, but that's none of my business. You need to forget your 'form over function' ways that Steve Jobs has convinced you is the right way. It doesn't matter how sexy something is if it isn't functional. The iPad is not a functional business tool without a keyboard case. Well, not AS functional anyway.

A couple other points I've read is that the touchscreen isn't very practical when you have it in 'netbook mode' with a keyboard. There have been more than a few complaints that there isn't a trackpad to enable easier text selection. Wha?? Hey, go talk to Jobs about that one. Regardless of whether you are using a keyboard on the iPad or a bluetooth one in a case, the problem is the same. The iPad sucks at selecting text. If you are going to take shots at something, at least take shots at something it impairs over regular operation. The keyboard cases don't impair anything. Besides, I can count on one finger how many times I've needed to select text when I am in serious typing mode.

Another ridiculous point is that you can't use the keyboard with the iPad in portrait mode. Again, WHA??? Ok, so the Zaggmade let's you do that, but the Zaggmate also just has the iPad sitting on a stand with nothing holding it down. Try typing with that on a plane and watch your ipad fall into your lap every time the guy in front of you moves in his seat. For one, not having the iPad secured in whatever case it is using is a bad idea. The Zaggmate leaves the back of the iPad completely exposed when it is face down in the case. Two piece keyboard cases are not for me. Anyway, the point is, HOW MANY APPS REQUIRE YOU TYPE IN PORTRAIT MODE??? I don't know of any. In fact, not once have I ever wished I could type in portrait mode. That is a mode designed for when your iPad is NOT in a case and you want to type with your thumbs. If you have a keyboard, then you wouldn't want to use it that way anyway.

So here are the main points:

Weight: It doesn't matter that it is heavier than an iPad when you use the ClamCase or any keyboard case. The iPad is still lighter than the computer most people use anyway. Let's not forget how SMALL a population the macbook users really are.

Size: IT DOESN'T MATTER. The iPad, even with a case, is still slimmer than most laptops. I've never seen a case which bulks it up so much that it becomes a problem. Sure it is going to make it thicker, but it doesn't have to be paper thin to be functional. Sometimes things are less functional when they are smaller.

Touch Screen: The iOS has the same problems regardless of what kind of case it is in. No you can't use a mouse with it, no your keyboard won't have a trackpad, and no it is still going to suck to select text with your finger regardless of your case. Don't blame the shortcomings of the iOS on the peripherals. I wouldn't write a novel on the iPad or edit performance evaluations for a team of 20 or something, but it is perfect for those times when you need to take notes or update a document without dragging out the laptop. Sure, it has its limitations, but it works in a pinch. And having a keyboard on it is just about mandatory if you plan on doing any real work on it.

Use in Portrait mode: Please... Someone please give me ONE example of when you need to type in portrait mode and yet still have the space to pull out a keyboard. I've never been in that situation. These people who spend a hundred bucks on a keyboard and yet still type with it in portrait are like blind people who have been given sight and still walk around with their cane in front of them. Quit being stupid.

So the bottom line is that if you are using your iPad as an overgrown iPod, then screw you and your opinions on keyboard accessories. You know nothing. If you are trying to compare your iPad to your macbook, then screw you too. You aren't the target market for this product. And if I hear one more person say that it won't be compatible with the iPad 2 I think I'm going to be sick. The hugest SCREW YOU ever goes out to you. So what if it doesn't fit? They'll just make another one for that model. Do you bitch that the case for your iPhone 3G doesn't work for your iPhone 4? No, you just go buy a new one. DUH!!! You people can be so stupid sometimes... And you wonder why Apple product users are stuck with the stigma of being the dumbest people ever. I have an iPad because there wasn't anything in the Android market that compared when I bought it, but now there is. You better believe that the iPad will be replaced by an Android tablet soon enough and then I won't have to listen to you morons whine about things you know nothing about. ...IDIOTS!

Awesome iPhone site

on Wednesday, February 9, 2011

You gotta read this!

http://theiphonefever.blogspot.com/p/idont-list.html

This is probably the best argument I've ever read about why the iPhone is not the superior machine everybody seems to think it is. I think the number one reason people who use it have to believe it is awesome is because they bought the most expensive consumer phone on the market, so obviously it must be the BEST at everything. Yeah... So by that logic the Bugatti Veyron is better than anything else, right? It gets lousy gas milage, is ridiculously expensive to repair, Doesn't have any trunk space, no headroom, no back seat, lousy sound system, and very high insurance premiums. That makes it the best. It also does poorly in the snow, excels at little more than driving in a straight line very fast, and comes in a very limited number of color options. Yet for over a million dollars, it is clearly the best, right? Let's take this conversation off road and see how it does against a Jeep. Or let's take it around town and see how it does against a Civic. Just because something is expensive and sexy, doesn't mean it has any use in the real world.

That is the way an iPhone works. It doesn't support widgets or real multi tasking. Until the recent Verizon launch, it couldn't broadcast a wifi hotspot. It is a TOY, plain and simple. Most of the apps in the market are stupid games that nobody really wants to play. It has very little use as a business accessory, yet somehow it is THE BEST phone evaaar!

Apple fanboys give me gas. They are stupid and brainless. They hate everything which isn't an iPhone simply because it isn't an iPhone. Forget that for what they use their phones for they could get more functionality out of just about any Android on the market. Forget that it has a woefully slow processor, which is probably why it can't multitask or do many of the other things Android users are able to do with their phones. The market is very limited because only Apple gets to say what you put on it. I can put whatever I want on my Android and I don't have to jailbreak it to do so. They come out of the box that way. So without voiding my warranty one bit, I can develop and install any app I want on my phone. So take that Apple! Your loyal cult may say what they want, but I would challenge any current iPhone user in a battle with my G2 and I'll bet I can do everything they can do and tons of things they cannot. By the time the battle is over, I'll have them crying to mommy to buy them a real phone.

Rest in peace, Sissy Bird. We love you!

on Monday, January 31, 2011

We've had a very sad thing happen tonight...Anthony and Erik had just come home from Erik's baptism seminar. Erik had come downstairs to let me know he got to pick between 2 different kinds of brownies, and that made him so happy. Anthony had just made it down the stairs when Sissy made one of her squawks, both him and Erik ran upstairs. Usually when that happens, they hold her and console her because she has pulled out a feather. I was in the playroom with the other two, and I hear Erik crying. I yell up to see what is the matter...Erik tells me that Sissy is dead. I run upstairs, and Anthony is just holding her, sobbing. We think she must've had a heart attack, and she died in Anthony's hands. This has been Anthony's bird for 19 years. Her birthday was in a couple weeks...she would've been 20. We love you Sissy, and we will all miss you so much.She has been around since Erik was born...he is taking it really hard. He loved his Sissy bird.Adrienne has always been a little afraid of her, but she still loved the Sissy bird.
We just had to keep Parker away from her, he'd have her running around forever! Everytime he goes by her cage, he sticks out his finger because he wants to hold her.This was the last picture we took of Sissy right before Anthony left for Augusta. Erik was so happy because Sissy flew off his shoulder and then got right back on his finger when he went to pick her up.

Anthony is at least ok with it now. He spent time with her on Saturday when he got home from Augusta. She was a poofy feather bird and very happy. He talked with her that night and on Sunday afternoon when we got home from church. When she had her little freak out right before she died, he was able to be with her and hold her as she squeaked her last squeak. He has no regrets about the last hours he was able to spend with her. She felt loved and was able to be with Anthony and Erik when she died. There isn't a better way this could have happened if it was going to happen at all.
