Would You Want This Scrutiny?
This guy in San Francisco is wearing a camera 24×7 as a sort of publicity stunt. I’m reminded of JenniCam – except this is even closer scrutiny with a mobile camera and has audio. And it’s a guy. See for yourself right now. I just watched him get kicked out of the Gap. You could […]

Warren Buffet’s Annual Shareholder Letter
Back in the day, you had to know someone to get a chance to read this. As the internet progressed you’d find someone who scanned it and posted it on the web. Nowadays, all you have to do is just click. I think it’s an interesting read. Buffet is such an interesting character, and he’s […]

Finance Committee Votes Budgets and Articles
(Catching up on notes; here is 3/21. I got there very late because I was busy at work. No FinCom until April 4. Black text is mostly objective, red text is mostly subjective in nature.) The committee was discussing the Council on Aging budget when I arrived. They were discussing moving someone out of the […]

(Catching up on notes; here is 3/19. Black text is mostly objective, red text is mostly subjective in nature.) First we heard from the Human Rights Commission on their requested budget increase.

Waste of Time and Money
I got my car inspected yesterday. According to the inspection results that I was handed, my horn is functional, my fuel tank cap works, and my headlights work. Funny thing is, the guy who “inspected” my car never looked at these things, or anything else for that matter. He drove my car into the inspection […]

HP Buying Tabblo
This morning Hewlett Packard announced that it was buying Tabblo. It’s a pretty interesting acquisition. Tabblo has been been building a business by converting an online experience into a real-world experience; we take your pictures and your words and we put them on paper. HP makes a lot of money in that real world, putting […]

Black text is mostly objective, red text is mostly subjective in nature.) Town Manager Sullivan and Deputy Town Manager Galkowski were at Wednesday’s meeting, and […]

Tom Brady Fathahed Ubah-Team
This YouTube video is not safe for work. It’s also not safe for people who are distressed by frequent swearing, loud belches, and adult-themed humor. It is for you if you want to know “what ‘300’ would be like if it had been cast entirely with guys from Charlestown who like to drink beer.” I […]
