Sometimes finding news online is just outright fun

Depending on what website you use, sometimes finding that daily “fix” you’re seeking for online news can be fun.

Try it for yourself and see what I mean. Go to “Yahoo” news or Google news. Type a random phrase into the “search news” box and see what you get.

No, this isn’t a massive appeal for new comments to my blog — although I’m always eager for anyone who reads this to also write a comment on what they’re reading.

Looking for online MBA? Take a look at The University of Scranton

Just a Guy — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:12:59 +0000

It’s been awhile since I’ve done specific “Useful Website” posts here, but I was looking at some online study options and found an excellent possibility if you are specifically looking for an MBA online: The University of Scranton. They’re located (no surprise here) in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but that really doesn’t matter for an online MBA degree, does it?

If you haven’t seen Pausch’s ‘Last Lecture’ — don’t wait another minute

If you haven’t yet seen the YouTube video of Prof. Randy Pausch’s “Last Lecture” — don’t wait another minute. I’ve put it in this post so you don’t even need to locate it on YouTube. You can watch it right here.

How cool is this — ‘Allio’ is an all-in-one HDTV with built-in, quality computer

Just a Guy — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 00:20:32 +0000

How cool is this — I just ran onto an All in one HDTV / PC: a 32-inch or 42-inch LCD HDTV television with a “Intel Atom 330 Dual Core processor, 2GB of high-speed DDR2-800 memory, and a massive 250GB SATA II hard drive” computer built right into it. It comes complete with USB ports and an ethernet or wireless Internet capability. It also has surround sound, home theater speakers — and the unit is wall mountable.

RUN — don’t walk, RUN! — to find Uncle Jay

Just a Guy — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 20:06:55 +0000

RUN — quick, don’t just walk, RUN! — over to Uncle Jay’s website to find out what’s really going on in the news.

I don’t know who “Uncle Jay” really is. I don’t know that, because his website has a brief “About Uncle Jay” page, but it really says little about him. When I get the time, I’ll Google around and see what I can find out.

Time for a memory upgrade? No, I don’t mean your computer

Just a Guy — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:02:57 +0000

Ever have one of those days when you think you really need a memory upgrade — I don’t mean more RAM in your computer, necessarily, but a real-life “memory upgrade,” is what I’m talking about.

Useful holiday gift ideas for real coffee lovers

Just a Guy — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 20:10:47 +0000

Having just posted about the wonders of “real man’s” coffee and made fun of “hoytee-toytee” specialty coffee, I hasten to add that I drink espresso and an occasional latte when I can find a good one. It’s just that where I live the espresso and lattes I find are mostly poor and watery. Unlike the wonderful, heavenly shores of Seattle, Boulder, or even Denver — it’s really hard to find great specialty coffee here in good old Springfield, Missouri. My apologies to all in this town who THINK they offer good specialty coffee, but they just need to get out more to discover the truth.

Don’t fall for this folder or any similar email voter scam — it is vile!

Just a Guy — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:14:17 +0000

Don’t fall for any folders, flyers, brochures, or email or any other information you get from ANYONE telling you you must vote on November 5. That is an extremely vicious, VILE fraud and your vote will not be counted if you fall for it.

Amazing presidential campaign, isn’t it? What happened to the issues?

Just a Guy — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:55:31 +0000

Am I the only one — of course I’m not! — who thinks both the McCain and Obama campaigns have veered off the issues and started flinging mud, trying to deal political “death by innuendo” blows at each other?
