Why do I keep posting all this crap?

To all who subscribe to my blog:

Sorry for all the recent posts of Oscar doing nothing.  I am sure it is no longer even remotely cute :)

I am trying to figure out why my videos are posting as links and not embedded… so that’s why.  If anyone has any great words of wisdom, I would greatly appreciate them :)

More Partisan Politics for the Under Five Set

I posted this in January.  Now they have cute little bibs to go with the books!

Communist bib

I can’t quite put my finger on the reason why, but this freaks me out in much the same way as ”Veggie Tales.”

Non Interview: First iPhone Campers Not What Apple Expected

The camping is not unexpected.  Of course it was going to happen, and who else would it be BUT this guy?

My favorite part: “Do you have a girlfriend or anything?”

Be Careful What You Post on YouTube!

Or better said… be careful who you piss off with your content.

The firm, Cohen & Grigsby, recorded its immigration law conference in May and posted it to YouTube. In one segment of the hours-long video, two attorneys are seen telling the audience how to minimally advertise job postings to best avoid hearing from “qualified and interested” U.S. workers if they have a foreign worker in mind for the job. Federal law requires that an employer make a permanent job posting available to qualified U.S. citizens before hiring a non-citizen.

An anti-outsourcing/anti-H1-B organization of IT pros called the Programmers Guild got hold of the video, and that’s all she wrote. The organization copied the video and continues to play it at the site, adorning it with accusations such as advertising fake jobs is an act of fraud.

Here’s the whole article.  Love the title…

Start Your Own Virtual Winery!

I forgot to mention what may be the most surreal part of the Crushpad model.

Crushpad Commerce is a program that allows anyone to turn their passion for wine into a full-fledged commercial wine brand – without the high cost, complexity or time commitment required to operate a traditional winery.

I think I’ll call mine Oscar… delicate, but with a hell of a bite (just like my chihuahua).

Web, Voyeurism and Wine? Awesome…

Seriously?  Apparently so!

Good Lord, It’s a Crowdsourced, Web 2.0 Winemaking App

Crushpad is a San Francisco winery where you are the wine maker. Crushpad provides grapes from the West Coast’s top vineyards, an industry-acclaimed wine making team and a state-of-the-art winery 100% focused on making wine in small lots. You choose your level of involvement and we do the rest. No matter where you live, you can now make your own “cult” wine.

But really it’s all about the “Crushpad Cam.” 

I have no words…
