I realized I haven't blogged here in a while. Other Internet attractions such as Facebook and Twitter have stolen some of the attention away, but as I started browsing some of my old blog entries from many, many years ago, I realized how much I miss blogging. Maybe it isn't the blogging itself that I miss - I think ultimately I will look back years from now and say, "Man, I wish I had blogged more during that time in my life."

I will start blogging more now. Not today, but soon...

An entrepreneur I respect quite a bit told me recently, "Don't believe your own bullshit.  Sometimes you have to look yourself in the mirror and ask the tough questions."  I actually used that advice today and know I made a good business decision because of it.  If you don't grow from what you learn, you're not actually growing.

Opportunity is available for those who look the hardest.

It's been over a year since I have logged into MySpace and I just did. Wow, that was weird!

If Apple asked me, "On a scale of 1-10, how satisfied are you with your new MacBook?" I would say 10+.

Trying our ping.fm. Pretty sweet! Setup Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, and GTalk.

I watch the Today show almost every morning. Most mornings it's only for 5 minutes or less, but I usually always catch at least a little bit. I've wondered for a while about a familiar face in the crowd. He's always there, rain or shine, almost every day of the year. This morning, I decided to finally Google him and came up with this article. His name is Lenny Boyette and I am glad I have solved that mystery!

Here's an interesting article about various websites Terms of Service that Curt sent to me yesterday. Not sure how much of this is actually enforceable (as I am not a lawyer), but still an interesting read nonetheless. I wonder what the Blogger.com TOS says since it is part of Google. For all I know, they now own both my left and right hands!

I was driving in to work this morning, turned right onto Adams off of Woodward and was just about to pass through the light at Adams and Lincoln when I saw a small animal run in front of my car. At first I thought it was a squirrel but quickly realized it was a kitten! I got out of my car, put on my flashers (in the middle of Adams, mind you, with a dozen cars behind me), and picked up the kitten from under my front tires. He was a bit scared. I held him up to show the drivers behind me not to be angry and pulled into an adjacent parking lot.

I went inside the local bagel shop and asked the owners and patrons if anyone came in saying they had lost a kitten. The bagel shop people seemed annoyed but a few of the partons wanted to hold and pet the cat. I was hoping someone would want it and my time with the kitten would be done, but alas, it was not.

I put the kitten back into my car and drove the 1/2 mile I had left to my office. Deyer and I were the first ones in so I brought him upstairs to try and figure out what to do with him. We questioned taking him to the Humane Society but didn't want anything bad to happen to him. In the mean-time, we decided we would keep him at the office and try to find his owner. I put some posters up at businesses in the area I found him in hopes of his owner calling, looking for him back.

We named him Cat-5, after the ethernet cable we use so often. For now, he is our office cat, but hopefully we can find him a good home soon. He already took a piss and poop in the corner of Deyer's office. That was funny.

If you find anyone who is missing their kitten in the Birmingham area, please have them call me at 248-840-6866. Thanks!
