Below are posts from a blog that I had and had not really had the chance to develop called 'One More Blog.' It was hosted at eponym.com, which met with the same sort of demise that most startups and small shrimps do.

Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance
by Kitlat on Tue 01 Aug 2006 01:57 PM EDT
"Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance." Someone posted that on a listserv.
It reminded me of John Wooden who said, "Failing to Prepare is Preparing to Fail."
It also reminded me of the professor I had at BU, Stephen Geller, who said that planning will bring you more success at anything than talent.

Our President-Live Blogging today's news conference
Right now I am listening to WBUR's broadcast of the president's news conference concerning North Korea and Iraq.
I try to listen objectively to his addresses to the nation but it is hard. I am always left with the image of a comedian who is just not very good but insists on trying to keep the audience's attention. I don't know that this is better than the typical image I have of him, which is as the teenage son who tries really hard to do adult things but ultimately needs his dad, usually in the form of Mike Brady, to bail him out.
Apparently we are working really hard in Iraq and while the news broadcasts are terrible, we have to stay the course. As to North Korea, while we are not pleased with what they have done, [nuclear testing] we will work with them diplomatically to resolve the issue.
Now we have come to the portion of the news conference that is always good for a chuckle-
the Q & A. Random reporter asks wreally hahd question and the president fumbles for an answer and falls back on stuttering and hyperbole to answer it. He often sounds like a naughty boy caught in a lie.
This reporter just asked a very specific question about whether or not we should acknolwedge as former Secretary of State James Baker has, that we need to change tactics.
From the president, we get:
-we are constanting changing tactics
-the goal is to create a stable country
-the stakes are high
-apparently the Clinton administration dropped the ball
-we are constanting changing tactics
-we cannot leave before the job is done
-the stakes are high
-this is the way it is in the 21st century
-we are constanting changing tactics
-we want to solve this diplomatically
-the stakes are high
A lot of his answers to the subsquent questions are answered generally along those lines and all of the complements on the reporters' suits simply will not abate their tough questions.
On that note, back to Classical music on 89.7FM...
This was my first attempt at live blogging a press conference. I imagine that I will get better with time and perhaps with another president.

More Blogthings...for October
| You Are An Elm Tree |
 You are easygoing and a pleasure to be around. Good looking, you have a pleasant shape and tasteful clothes. You demand little in others, but you tend not to forgive their mistakes. Dominant, you like to lead and enjoy making decisions for others. Overall, you are cheerful, honest, noble, generous, and funny. |
October's BlogThings
| Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence |
 You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well. An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly. You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view. A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary. You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator. |
What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?
| You Are 8: The Challenger |
You're brave, impulsive, and gutsy - loving challenges. You act first and think later. And you're not afraid to speak up. You are confident, so much so that you can be a bit bossy at times. Whether people like it or not, you always stand up for yourself. |
Wal-Mart closes their Social Networking website.
It looks like Wal-Mart clearly did not read the August 23rd post at "What's Your Brand Mantra."
I honestly thought that they canned this earlier but no.
What were they thinking? Teens can be naive and stupid but not all the time. They saw a marketing harvester and acted accordingly.
The article can be found here.

Another...Huh?
Today's "huh?"comes from actress Kimberly McCullough's blog at her website: http://www.kimberlymccullough.com
(kimberlymccullough.net is the fansite that has been around since...forever)
I have loved her ever since she was a tot on General Hospital and have pretty much followed her througout her career. I am still there even though I hate the direction that her character, Dr. Robin Scorpio, takes on "General Hospital" at times.
While rooting around in her website, I came across this quote:
I suppose I will have top take her word on that.

I can’t wait to come back here and take more photos of this quaint, charming town. In the mean time, I will leave you with a little bit of goodness...baby goodness. Nothing cheers me up like a good dose of wonderfully smelling baby feet.
I suppose I will have top take her word on that.

An old love revisited
Saturday night I spent a great time with a friend who reminded me that just hanging out can be fun. He brought up Invader Zim, a cartoon I was not familiar that was created by Jhonen Vasquez, a name I was very familiar. There was a time where I worshipped at the altar of "Jonny, the Homicidal Maniac." Not having cable cause me to miss out on Invader Zim, but it is available on DVD.
This friend also informed me that Mr. Vasquez has a blog on livejournal: http://chancrescolex.livejournal.com/
Read and...be translated.
