Isiah doesn’t want me to come to new york

Isiah doesn't want me to come to new yorkI have a theory about Isiah Thomas. He is, I think, possibly the most intensely competitive athlete ever in professional sports. So intense in fact, that way beyond his salad days with the Detroit Pistons, he’s still determined to see his chief rivals lose in the NBA. I mean, how else do you explain what he’s doing to my beloved New York Knicks?

Turning It Up A Notch

nokia kl tripIf anything, the recent trip to Malaysia (yes, I’m still going on about that), has made me realize one thing – that I should concentrate on writing. I know that sounds silly, given that seems to be the only thing I’m doing, but truth is I’ve never really given writing as much attention as I should.

2 Sony Gadgets, 6 Nokia Phones, 1 Highly Thankful Writer

2 Sony Gadgets, 6 Nokia Phones, 1 Highly Thankful WriterSeveral years ago, I had the opportunity to spend a day driving a Porsche.

So we looked into their schedule of events, one of which just jumped out at me. Apparently, every so often they sink a car into the ocean to repopulate coral depleted areas. What’s more, an avid diver who happened to own an airplane repair shop decided to donate, of all things, the metal carcass of a long – dead helicopter.

Epixtar Doesn’t Like Bloggers

Some new developments on this silly Epixtar thing. But before that, a backgrounder: Like I said in post last January 10, Migs made a post about how the local Epixtar’s callcenter might be in for a rough ride after how their offices in Florida, US filed for bankruptcy. There was a reference to an alleged phone cramming situation, indicating this might be the reason for said bankruptcy.

At any rate, on January 12 someone named “Karl” made a very long comment with a list of names and their salaries, looking like it was lifted directly from a spreadsheet. This happened with Migs as well, although in his case the poster was “Gary” (definitely not me).
