Health Care, My Two Cents...

2009-09-09T06:37:00.004-05:00

Can for-profit companies be a better health care choice than the govt? Then what's wrong with having a public option? The better companies will make their products more attractive... Think FEDEX, UPS... versus USPS...Personally, from my view point they (health care insurance companies) seem more like T-Mobile, ATT, Verizon, Sprint...For example, why am I settling for a phone service that...Has

Attended the first Lamda Lounge meeting Thursday night. Saw some Groovy and OCAML code, all of it was interesting and I'm totally looking forward to the next meeting. If you're in the St. Louis area and can get by Apistry (might have hosed that spelling) Jan 8th @ 6PM come on by. Thirty plus uber geeks made it Thursday, you might like it. I do.

Deep Thoughts

Okay, so I was mowing the lawn as I do most Saturdays (or Sundays) and I had a thought. I've had the chance to hear about the trickle down or trickle up economics and I've come to a place on that. I believe, in most instances, that a person's choice will entirely be based on if they will be the recipient or provider of the trickle.

Ok, let's give it another go. I'm spreading out a little and hope to be intensive for a period to see what I think. Maybe someone will happen by and take an idea, or some such, forward from here and change the world, or not.

Well I try to write something every two months even when there is not that much to say. Life has been pretty simple, abundant and a little hot lately. Happens every year around this time, what's up with that? Not much to brag or complain about, but thought I'd say 'Hey'. Hey!As Always...

In a small business coup dennisRadio took Code to Joy's iStone to the next level. Once engineers at dennisRadio got a chance to actually get an iStone in their hands, they quickly felt there was a niche that had been overlooked. In cooperation with CtJ, dennisRadio is proud to announce the open source wiiStone. Less than a tenth the weight or size with all the power and almost all the

Well I'd heard about the iStone. Now EB's stuff that happens site confirms it... the iStone is little more than a glorified paper weight. Some companies really have a lot of gall, they should call this thing the gallStone, not the iStone. Wait till Steve what's his name hears about this.

Have been wakened two or three mornings lately by a thump... thump, thump... Kinda like a dryer vent thump, but not. Seems a wild tom turkey has been seeing himself in our basement windows. I'm not sure the image has pleased him. Think he's wanting to pick a fight with the new guy in town, too bad he can't see that it's his reflection. Wifey has shooed him off, but figure that will not
