It's always interesting to chat with someone I don't know. But even if you don't want to reveal any information about yourself, just give me one little fact about you. It could be anything, from the mundane (I like cheese) to the extraordinary (I have read this blog from the foothills of the Himalayas).Anyway, it was fun to chat. I hope you swing by again.-Shamiq

Here's more chatter about Brian Roberts, this time again from ESPN's Jayson Stark.Again, take all this talk for what it's worth, because in the end, there are only a handful who really, really know what's going on.STRIKE ONE -- MR. ROBERTS: Clubs that have spoken with the Cubs report that their frustration with the Orioles is mounting, after three months on the Brian Roberts trail. Despite all the names rumored to be in this deal and all the scouts who have hovered around all those names all spring, the Cubs have been indicating they still haven't been told by Baltimore what it would take to get this trade done.Now add in the fact that it's less than two weeks to Opening Day, and that The Angelos Factor could gum up these talks for who knows how long, even if they make progress. And it's n

Malam ini (29/02/08) empat orang chatters #karo diantaranya, cOz, mbuyak, lojangna_me, dan Syndrome melakukan kopi darat di jalan Gajah Mada Medan.Pertemuan kopi darat kali ini sebenarnya tanpa direncanakan terlebih dahulu, namun hanya sekedar kopi darat dadakan yang digagas oleh cOz dengan mbuyak.Karena acara ini cenderung dadakan, sehingga hal-hal yang dilakukan disanapun tidak lebih dari sekedar makan dan minum, selebihnya dibarengi dengan kegiatan ngalor ngidul saja.Meski kegiatan hanya sebatas pertemuan biasa, namun hal yang seperti ini diharapkan senantiasa dapat selalu dilakukan, karena besar kemungkinan dengan dilakukan kegiatan bercakap-cakap melalui media IRC, dan dilanjutkan dengan pertemuan-pertemuan darat, sehingga kekompakan antara anak-anak channel, akan semakin akrab dan ti

A Google-Skype partnership would make sense on some levels because the companies have teamed up on some major issues.Google and Skype, together at last? At least on some blog posts they are.The rumor that Google might acquire Skype was started Monday in a blog on the U.K.'s respected Guardian and since then, the report has taken on a life of its own at investment firms.Like many Google rumors there is no solid basis for any such speculation (remember the Google phone?). But it persists because there are some logical reasons for the two companies to establish a deeper relationship."Currently in favor around London's webbist community is the rumor that Google has been in negotiations to buy Skype," wrote Guardian blogger Jemima Kiss. "Google bases all of its mobile projects in London, so this is the fitting place for such a rumor.A Google-Skype partnership would make sense on some levels because the companies have teamed up on some major issues. For instance, the two companies partnere

Many of these you know are straight from the chatter monkeys. We have all heard the chatter monkeys before. "that's not going to work", "I know what she's going to say.." "I'd like to, but I… "I can't because.." "I would like to try that but.."Some chatter monkeys are loud and obnoxious, its easy to tell when they are around. These are more like gorillas on our backs. These guys tend to get personal. "What was I thinking" "That was pretty stupid."

Stu said No. Roger says maybe.Board members met Saturday for a special meeting and decided they wanted a Kentuckian for the Commissioner's job. Fayette County schools Superintendent Stu Silberman is not interested in becoming state education commissioner, but Marion County Superintendent Roger Marcum said he would strongly consider it....Marcum, who is president of the state's superintendent association, said he was contacted during the first search but wasn't sure if he wanted to take on the task. But after watching the controversy with Erwin unfold, he's rethinking his stance."It just reaffirms to me that we've got some folks in Kentucky that are very capable of providing that kind of leadership," Marcum said. "I hope this time we find the right person."Marcum also heads the Council for Better Education, a group representing most of the state's 175 school districts, which sued the legislature in 2003 for failing to adequately fund Kentucky schools. In February, a Franklin Circ

Whoa, talk about deja-vu (re: yesterday's post)! Bloombery chimes in this AM...Stocks in U.S. Poised for 10% Drop, Options Bets Showby Bloomberg - 7/16/07 snip:Bets in the options market against the Standard & Poor's 500 Index have exceeded wagers it will rise by a 2-to-1 margin for a month, the longest since Bloomberg began compiling the data in 1995. That's seen as a warning sign the market is due for a decline of 5 to 10 percent after the S&P 500 rose to two records last week, say managers of almost $1 trillion at Morgan Stanley Global Wealth Management, National City Private Client Group and Russell Investment Group. The Leuthold Group, whose flagship fund has beaten 99 percent of similar funds over the last five years, expects the S&P 500 to slide as much as 19 percent by the end of the year... Investors are buying the put options as protection from the crisis in housing, said Joseph Quinlan, chief market strategist at Bank of America's investment strategy group in New Yo

Coming soon, the water cooler conversation on your job might be about the show “Hot Ghetto Mess,” which will air on BET. Hot Ghetto Mess is a show hosted by comedian Charlie Murphy and is based on a web site of the same name, which displays photos and web videos of Black people in all manner of portraying “real” stereotypes. Images of pimps, people dressed like pimps (and hos), children with liquor, “ghetto” fashion, “ghetto” weddings, “ghetto” beach wear, etc. are all on heavy display. The BET show will air the photos and clips from the web site. Supposedly the point of the web site and the show is to spark dialogue and debate in the Black community and to encourage Blacks to stop behaving in a “ghetto” fashion.Bullsh*t!!The point of the site and the show is to exploit Blacks for monetary gain, to perpetuate stereotypical images of Blacks to the global community, and to poke fun at those perceived by many to be on the lower echelon of the American totem pole.I

Tell a friend [MyPhamOriflame blog] - Ngôn ngữ của chatter và blogger có cái gí đó rất đặc trưng. Để biết một người nào đó có thường hay chating/blogging hay không thì chỉ cần nhìn vào ngôn ngữ người đó xài. Đó là xu hướng tất yếu, rất tự nhiên cũng giống như internet đã làm biến đổi cuộc sống con người, đang ngày đêm "đục đẽo" để thế giới ngày càng "phẳng" hơn. Trên mạng, các danh từ dần biến thành động từ như blog, google,... Hàng loạt khái niệm mới xuất hiện xoay quanh nền tảng hạ tầng internet mà chỉ có cư dân mạng mới hiểu và cảm nhận nổi. Việt Nam cũng không nằm ngoài xu thế đó. Tiên phong trong việc tiệp cận internet là giới trẻ Việt Nam, đa phần nằm trong thế hệ 9x, 8x. Những người đa số on

I was in a business meeting, a few years ago, where a White VP stated that she was surprised to read a recent research study that found that—more than White parents—Black parents warned their children and teenagers to stay away from drugs and alcohol and not to smoke (including warnings not to smoke marijuana). The White VP asked, “Can you believe that? I didn’t think Black parents would care. Can you believe they actually warn their kids about drugs? I didn’t think they did that in the ghetto!”She was so shocked by the research study that her voice became shrill and more annoying than usual. She was so shocked that she couldn’t hear the absolute silence in the room. So, she continued to talk about how amazing it was that Black parents didn’t want their children using drugs.There was senior Black and minority staff in the room making 6 figure salaries or close to 6 figure salaries. One of these Black staff was actually an executive and the boss of the VP making the rema

Bipolar, Hilary Clinton, Cole Porter ingenue, Grace Kelly and now country club trophy wife. Most intriguing, the range of reponses to Jennifer Ehle's Lady Macbeth. The latest is from Lynn's LJ.Macbeth was fantastic. There are no bad seats in that theater. The performance was amazing. Liev Schreiber has my everlasting respect as an actor. Jennifer Ehle played Lady Macbeth very close to the chest, which I appreciate. She was like the most conniving, blonde country-club wife. Not the ham-fisted dripping-with-evil interpretation. Just an overly ambitious trophy wife playing with forces she doesn't understand. I'd never seen it performed before, so this was a treat. The weather was fantastic, and considering it's really just a ghost story, the weather was really conspiratorial. There were times when a breeze picked up that were uncanny considering the dialog on stage. And there were bats, of course, drawn by the lights. Also appropriate.But the highlight for today is the first in-depth
