Come-on Apple!

I can’t believe Apple’s new developer agreement. It is draconian. When people complain about Microsoft practices of stomping competition, or fear that with Google’s size they are losing their “Don’t be evil” matra, they need to take a look at this new agreement.

Health care protester – seriously?

The health care protester has been identified at Chris Reichert. Watch the video here. Never mind what political party he belongs to, he’s just wrong. I’m guessing he also thinks of himself as a very religious person. Come on, seriously, is this how adults act?

What to do in 2009

News Years Eve we were talking over dinner with some friends about resolutions for 2009. My wife, while proud of my success with my 2008 resolution of running a 5K each month for charity, pointed out that this really wasn’t a resolution but more of a goal. I did challenge her “resolution”. Her resolution is to waste less. While I think this is a noble resolution I argued that measuring the success of this “resolution” is very subjective. It’s just my personality, things have to be measurable to determine if there is success or failure. There are numerous quotes from Caddyshack, Office Space or Talladega Nights to support my argument. Needless to say I lost the argument. That said, my goal (notice this is not a resolution) for 2009 is more conservative than 2008. I plan on running the Cap City Half Marathon in May. I’m planning on posting a running calendar and if things go well I might extend the “goal” to include the Columbus Marathon.
