I just thought this was cool....

Okay - so I live in Oregon. Guess what's in Oregon?
Well...there's Oregon itself...and its stupid communist voting block which breeds here in Portland....
Um, trees.
Rain.
Oh, um, trees!
Fresh salmon.
Fresh seafood.
Nike.
INTEL!
And - my father in law is a computer geek ( a very smart computer geek) who works at - GUESS WHERE? INTEL!
So - today Intel had an open house and I got to see inside - see a clean room - a fab plant (I don't know all the technical names for it - was pretty focused on the crowds and my kids and the massive number of Asians and East Indians (I only saw one black person there and he was security and looked like he could kick anyone's ass) and the cubicles and such....it was pretty cool.
I realized why I struggle so damned hard being a former engineer and physics major who decides to go into the social sciences.
Because all these social sciences liberal art free thinking bleeding hearts are a bunch of retards when it comes to operating a business and standardizing systems and making a company run.It seems more like at the end of the day "as long as I feel good about myself and I tried or had good intentions then that's all that matters....too bad someone died while I was trying my best....ah well.....nobody loves my job like I do which even though I suck at it it makes me better than everyone which means I don't have to do my job....I'm so effing special nobody understands me...I'm going to file a hurt-feelings-report." Or my favorite - the "Spin the finger and blame game" for problem solving.
So, even though I don't work at Intel - the spirit - the feel - the energy - the ESSENCE - of the buildings was one of progress - innovation - development - improvement - progress - organization - sense - order - ingenuity - it was AMAZING!
Perhaps the most amazing thing I saw was THE PROTOTYPE of a 3-D TV.......HOLY BLEEP! HOLY FRICKING COW Y'ALL!
You know what you see in the movies about 3D TV without the glasses? I saw one today at Intel!
The man who was so excited to show me the prototype, Wang Yuen (I'm guessing he's from New Jersey originally with a name like that)was VERY excited! It was soooo refreshing to be around people who loved what they were doing and excited about the new ideas and improvements. Beyond that - no joke - move your head around in front of the screen and you could see behind the objects that were being shown on the screen! And it was in High Definition!!!!!
Right now where I work - come up with a new idea and my boss says "you're acting like we're going national...." - or "crap...now what do we have to do?" and hear stupid excuses like....lets just say I swear some of the people who work for our company have IQ's low enough to live where I work rather than working there (I manage developmentally disabled group homes).
Anyways - it was AMAZING to see the 3D Television - WOW - all that nonsense with the glasses? Forget it. You got ripped off. Never mind it costs like $12,000 for one - at least according to Wang.
So - photography wasn't allowed at Intel. So - to take you on a tour of Intel - I'm turning you over to Conan O'Brien for his tour of Intel. (I could have done without the meercats reproducing at one point in it but whatever).
Either way though - it was pretty cool.

If people bought cars like they buy computers.......
General Motors doesn't have a "help line" for people who don't know how to drive, because people don't buy cars like they buy computers - but imagine if they did...
- Helpline:
- "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"
- Customer:
- "I got in my car and closed the door, and nothing happened!"
- Helpline:
- "Did you put the key in the ignition and turn it?"
- Customer:
- "What's an ignition?"
- Helpline:
- "It's a starter motor that draws current from your battery and turns over the engine."
- Customer:
- "Ignition? Motor? Battery? Engine? How come I have to know all of these technical terms just to use my car?"
- Helpline:
- "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"
- Customer:
- "My car ran fine for a week, and now it won't go anywhere!"
- Helpline:
- "Is the gas tank empty?"
- Customer:
- "Huh? How do I know?"
- Helpline:
- "There's a little gauge on the front panel, with a needle, and markings from 'E' to 'F'. Where is the needle pointing?"
- Customer:
- "I see an 'E' but no 'F'."
- Helpline:
- "You see the 'E' and just to the right is the 'F'."
- Customer:
- "No, just to the right of the first 'E' is a 'V'."
- Helpline:
- "A 'V'?!?"
- Customer:
- "Yeah, there's a 'C', an 'H', the first 'E', then a 'V', followed by 'R', 'O', 'L' ..."
- Helpline:
- "No, no, no sir! That's the front of the car. When you sit behind the steering wheel, that's the panel I'm talking about."
- Customer:
- "That steering wheel thingy -- Is that the round thing that honks the horn?"
- Helpline:
- "Yes, among other things."
- Customer:
- "The needle's pointing to 'E'. What does that mean?"
- Helpline:
- "It means that you have to visit a gasoline vendor and purchase some more gasoline. You can install it yourself, or pay the vendor to install it for you."
- Customer:
- "What? I paid $12,000 for this car! Now you tell me that I have to keep buying more components? I want a car that comes with everything built in!"
- Helpline:
- "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"
- Customer:
- "Your cars suck!"
- Helpline:
- "What's wrong?"
- Customer:
- "It crashed, that's what went wrong!"
- Helpline:
- "What were you doing?"
- Customer:
- "I wanted to go faster, so I pushed the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor. It worked for a while, and then it crashed -- and now it won't even start up!"
- Helpline:
- "I'm sorry, sir, but it's your responsibility if you misuse the product."
- Customer:
- "Misuse it? I was just following this damned manual of yours. It said to make the car go to put the transmission in 'D' and press the accelerator pedal. That's exactly what I did -- now the damn thing's crashed."
- Helpline:
- "Did you read the entire operator's manual before operating the car sir?"
- Customer:
- "What? Of course I did! I told you I did EVERYTHING the manual said and it didn't work!"
- Helpline:
- "Didn't you attempt to slow down so you wouldn't crash?"
- Customer:
- "How do you do THAT?"
- Helpline:
- "You said you read the entire manual, sir. It's on page 14. The pedal next to the accelerator."
- Customer:
- "Well, I don't have all day to sit around and read this manual you know."
- Helpline:
- "Of course not. What do you expect us to do about it?"
- Customer:
- "I want you to send me one of the latest versions that goes fast and won't crash anymore!"
- Helpline:
- "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"
- Customer:
- "Hi! I just bought my first car, and I chose your car because it has automatic transmission, cruise control, power steering, power brakes, and power door locks."
- Helpline:
- "Thanks for buying our car. How can I help you?"
- Customer:
- "How do I work it?"
- Helpline:
- "Do you know how to drive?"
- Customer:
- "Do I know how to what?"
- Helpline:
- "Do you know how to DRIVE?"
- Customer:
- "I'm not a technical person! I just want to go places in my car!"

Isa Yuguda |
In an interview with journalists (Punch, Next Newspaper) after casting his vote in Thursday's rescheduled elections in Bauchi state, Bauchi State governor, Isa Yuguda had this to say about the Corps Members that were killed in his state,
"As far as I am concerned, these corps members were destined to experience what they experienced during the course of their service to their fatherland because every new day is a new experience to each and every one of us as human beings. You cannot hold Yuguda or Bauchi State (responsible) for what happened to those corps members, because it was the responsibility of INEC to take care of them."
What a mindless statement to make.

That's according to a reliable industry source. $1000 is like N150grand. Is this remotely true? If so, is that how cheap our movie industry is?

The veteran musician has sixteen children, the youngest, a two months old.
"At 84 years old, I am still sexually active and I am still having kids at my age. I don't have the feelings of an old man. I am still very strong when it comes to making babies. I still want to marry more wives and make more babies."
I think they should arrest any young woman who sleeps with any man above eighty years old. You wan kill am...? There should be a name for such women...oldmanphile or something...lol

Folly Asiko |
In the song, Asiko takes aim, particularly, at what he sees as the capitalistic exploitation of Fela's image on Broadway where the show Fela has distorted and simplified the hard work and ideology of Abami Eda. Foly explains that the Fela being presented on Broadway is not the Fela he knew and grew up with. The Fela on Broadway is not the image or representation of the fearless leader he so much admired, and learned a lot from.
According to him, his song takes listeners from the daily comfort of illusion back to the real world of Afrobeat, where truth is the code of existence and honesty is the modus operandi.
