Sarah Palin’s Alaska – What happened to Elmer’s Kill?
Interesting show, mildly entertaining but mostly exhausting to watch.
They walked 90 minutes out from the base camp on the first day and
started eating for the night. Elmer spotted a caribou and went to get
his own supper returning with a good sized rack and it appeared that
they went to bed. The next day, the Momma Grizzly bags one herself
and a they make a good point of cleaning and packing it to be frozen.
Congrats, killed a caribou. Unfortunately, we don’t know what
happened to Elmer’s kill. Did they clean and pack it up or was it
left behind? I am not sure if we’ll ever know but I do hope it didn’t
go to waste. “I’m a wed-hot sportsman after wild game. Heh-heh-heh-heh.” – Elmer Fudd

Poker test two

my blog, it should only appear under the Duece (poker) category. This
is only a test
Watching Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
you’re a graphic novel enthusiast, then you’ll think the movie is
fantastic. Abby’s a tad bored but putting up with me. Hey, if you
have a blog, twitter, and FB then check out Posterous.com. The
integration is spectacular.
Reaching out there by putting the job search in new spaces.
I have, along with many of my friends and former coworkers, been displaced, replaced, and shut out of new job hiring rounds. It’s not that our companies are not hiring anymore, but they have decided to get into a different sort of worker. The new workers, employee is suited for short term projects and intense long burnouts with little complaint. I’m for them. Seriously, but it puts me in a position: How am I to get a job?
I did consider creating a social network dedicated to me finding a job and I started looking into the notion. Guess what? There are already 10, or 1000, or 10k job sites out there waiting to be data mined and pulled apart for your own bag of tricks.
Here’s a good place to start: http://mashable.com/2009/03/02/ning-job-networks/
Research Tweets, XCelsius Dashboards
Today I was trying to think of an easily accessible set of RSS data feeds that can be used for the methods presented in this link: http://www.xcelsiusinfo.com/2010/02/19/consuming-xml-data-in-xcelsius-using-excel-xml-map/ The post inspired me to get over my fear of XML and XCelsius so I turned to our Twitter Feeds. I picked a very high volume user, Gary, and a lower volume user, @bradleymc. Using the techniques created in the aforementioned video, I determined one could easily create a dashboard of relevent tweets for private use and research. It’s the same that actual clients use but I had fun playing in XCelsius 2008 SP3. No video goes with this presentation, all techniques are presented in the earlier video.
Here is the link to the dashboard: http://www.michaelbradley.us/TRIZDash/TweetTut.html It’s not pretty and the old cross connection issue is not addressed so the update isn’t working properly. I’ll have to fix that, as well as make it “pretty”, but kudos to the original author.
