Comment on Phone Number Formatting by Licky

Licky — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:14:18 +0000

I have been reading recently that there are data miners out there that have a program that “mine” phone numbers on websites and social networking sites, and uses them for illegal telemarketing calls. The program can only use phone numbers formatted in the period form (xxx.xxx.xxxx) because the hyphenated form (xxx-xxx-xxxx)gives out too much erroneous results. Mainly from confusion with zip+4 codes.

So if you receive many telemarketing calls that you did not authorize, take take a minute to reformat your phone numbers to a hyphenated form, and this should cut down on most of those calls.

I generally don’t like flash sites, however this site is an exception. The color palette is nice and I agree, the big photos are nice. It would be cool if they had an online store, though it would be hard to tailor online.

Comment on Ever try peanut butter on your hamburger? by colormtchr

colormtchr — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 10:58:32 +0000

I have heard of the place in Minneapolis that serves peanut butter on their burgers, and everyone I know who has tried it love it. Personally I would love to try it but I hear at home is different than the ones in a resteraunt, but am willing to try it at home when I can fire up my grill. Come on people, try something different, how do you think all the other foods we eat were invented? it was all people trying this and trying that, we wouldn’t have the PIZZA if someone had not thought of putting tomato on it, as it used to be just crust and cheest and any condiment, so get daring and try one, and when I do, I will be back to let you know how it tasted.

Comment on If you inherited ten million dollars tomorrow what would you do with it? by RIch

RIch — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:14:04 +0000

$10,000,000

-$1,000,000 = Goes to tithing
-$2,000,000 = Goes to parents (mom, then dad & step-mom)
-$1,000,000 = Goes to in-laws
-$2,000,000 = Split up between 10 siblings/inlaws/friends
-$3,000,000 = Invest: Stock Market, CDs, etc.
-$1,000,000 = Go Play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With my $1 million in play money, i’d buy my wife a Murdered-out Range Rover and a Murdered-out F-150 for myself. I’d pay-off my home. I’d take my two friends and their families on a MASSIVE all-exclusive trip to somewhere amazing. I would quit work and simple study 8 hours a day for the GMAT and ace it. I would then get into a top-tier school to receive an MBA, then re-enter the work force, not as an employee but as an employer. Its game over after that! Meaning you wouldn’t be able to stop me! Wow, fun to dream! Now, time to go make it happen!

Comment on Boxee Launches New Site Design by Nils Geylen

It’s good looking but personally I wasn’t blown away. I also found the sticky dropdowns a tad annoying and can’t make sense of those Vimeo player controls with the time elapsed label cropped too closely. I thought the page hadn’t loaded well when I first looked at it.
The illustrations are great though and different – for once – from the candy-colored creatures we’re seeing everywhere these days.
But whatever as long as the service does what it says it will.

Love that you have a picture of Jake Shimabukuro for the post. Saw him a lot when I lived in Hawaii. He’s absolutely amazing on the ukulele. He’ll actually be here at the Orpheum on 1/15.

Great job by Chris and the Tornado Crew! I came across the redesign a few weeks back via a mention on Twitter (or possibly the Arizona Coffee blog) and really liked what you guys did. I especially like the latte art placeholder image on the about page; nice touch.

Comment on Longest you’ve ever stayed awake? by Possible

Possible — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 00:04:47 +0000

Staying up for long hours is easy. For me the first night is the hardest till about the 5th or 6th then shit really gets crazy It’s definitely a partner game tho if you want to go long amounts of time… I’d say 96 hours is okay by yourself but its much mch easier to go longer than that without out company.

Comment on E-Myth vs Good to Great: It’s about the people by Ahmad Omara

Ahmad Omara — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:08:03 +0000

Totally agree with comment posted by Don May 10, 2006.
That’s exactly what i always say.
E-Myth meant for Small Business and Startups
Good to Great meant for big companies who already have their processes, or would be for small biz after putting system and processes.

Is dimension suchlike a angular that exists on it’s own or is instance like the triangles that descriptor a rectangle (where clip is something that exclusive exists when fated different elements are in abode)? I suppose case exists on it’s own. I think it’s like the ocean: We are born in it. We die out of it. We all relocation in it.
