As I told my team

by Bryan Strawser · Jan 15, 2002

As I told my team last week, my greatest fear is losing the edge…  so the quote below from Dylan says alot…

I find the whole Enron

by Bryan Strawser · Jan 15, 2002

I find the whole Enron thing interesting and sad, as so many folks were misled and lost so much.  What disturbs me is that we’re hearing from various legislators that the Government Must Do Something to compensate these individuals.


I’m sorry – you made the decision to invest your entire retirement in Enron, against all recommendations from any investment advisor.  You have to pay the price for your own stupidity.

Since when did the government have to compensate everyone for everything?  I was picked on alot as a kid, does that mean that the government owes me money to compensate me?  Gimme a break.

So this is my foray

by Bryan Strawser · Jan 14, 2002

So this is my foray in trying out Radio Userland 8.0.  I’ll admit up front that I’ve wanted to try out the web logging thing for quite some time.  I’ve been a long time read of Doc’s Weblog and Adam’s Weblog and even Wil Wheaton’s weblog. 


I started out trying Manila at feanor.weblogs.com, but that simply didn’t work out.  I finally figured out what all the fuss was about with Radio Userland.  Quite an impressive piece of software.


I’m still learning, stay tuned….

I am getting more excited

by Bryan Strawser · Jan 14, 2002

I am getting more excited than I probably should about owning a DVD Player.  I received the Godfather Special Edition DVD set for Christmas from some of my family, and have been racking up the “wish list” on amazon ever since.  Here’s another one that I want:

by Bryan Strawser · Jan 14, 2002

Took a look at this tonight, quite impressive.  Am fiddling with the news aggregator feeds available for Radio Userland.  I’m impressed!

by Bryan Strawser · Jan 14, 2002

If you’re a follower of Massachusetts politics, as I must be due to where I live, then you’ve been following the involvement of the Massachusetts Attorney General in the sale of the Boston Red Sox.


I’m still trying to figure out the Attorney General’s role in the sale of a private enterprise, but then again, he’s a politician, so why bother?

My boss has this rather

by Bryan Strawser · Jan 14, 2002

My boss has this rather entertianing habit of creating words, or just plain screwing words up, fairly regularly.  All of my peers find this rather entertianing..  so when one of my peers sent me the information on the Dictionary.com word of the day, I couldn’t resist:



pusillanimous: Dictionary.com Word of the Day. pusillanimous [Dictionary.com Word of the Day]


I send these to him regularly now! 😉
