Useful Thoughts and Actions Taken

I love portuguese. When I found these common phrases I called a brazilian friend to help me pronounce.  Vocabulário e expressões coloquiais populares no Brasil e seus equivalentes nos EUA: Essa “pequenina” lisstinha…foi minha amiga fofa Tabatha q me enviou…. Obrigada Tatha…..com certeza vai ser muito util p/ todas nos…rsrs . One for the road = A saideira . The worst-case scenario = A pior das hipóteses . To give something up = Abrir mão de algo . To hit the nail on the head = Acertar em cheio . Come what may = Aconteça o que acontecer . After all = Afinal Read more…

It is simply not that good.  I watched it during my last stay in Brazil. Its story is takes an odd detour half way through. It could have been so much better with a better story.  They used the same sort of camera techniques and splits in the sequence that Cidade de Deus used.  However Cidade de Deus was much much better.  You’ll need to know portuguese to watch them! unless you have subtitles. And by the way…the Germans tried to say it was a film about Police corruption.  Of course yet another holier than thou Germanic European with their socialist Read more…

And creative friend Phil has a blinking light globe.  A cut crystal glass rotates inside as 4 or 5 blinking bulbs blink inside the central glass cylinder.  Around all this is the globe.   Well he’s had it since the 70’s and over the years lots of people have thought that when he played music that the flashing lights where sync’d to it. In reality its just the human mind matching the lights creatively to the music. Pretty much how global warming has become man made.  You have to keep your ideas close and constantly check them. Otherwise you won’t know which ones are just your tinfoil hat creations.  Read more…

Think about it !  Women are cheap with their own money but not with their man’s!  They do like money.   An ugly man can suddenly be oddly gorgeous once a woman finds out he has some net worth.

Thought experiment: You work in engineering and you need to borrow some hand work assemblers from the production department of you company.  Describe who they loan you? Results: Generally speaking they will give you the screw up. Reason: They have a job to do and its called PRODUCTION ……not ENGINEERING!  You can be sure they will give you the person they would be most likely to lay off in the next round.  This principle applies to outsourcing also. The following is an exerpt for this arty: Outsourcing – too successful to waste on teams of less than 50 people  We hire Read more…

There are two very important things to remember if you are trapped in close quarters with a nut job with a gun: 1- Most people are not that good with a gun – put a solid object in between you and them and do not stand still.  Dance according to the rythm of their shooting.  I am not joking. Remember the lawyer Jerry Curry?  He dodged bullets from behind a tree until his would be killer William Strier emptied a 6 shooter revolver from the other side of the tree.   The link below is to a slide show. I could not Read more…

Government workers should not be allowed to be unionized OR WHY? Because it sets up classic run away system parameters.  Here is why: 1- unionized workers vote for politicians who have the power to raise their wages and increase the number of workers 2- politicians take office and increase the number of government workers 3- go to step #1 and start the process all over. Now you know a large part of why we have a HUGE federal government.   You can break this positive feedback loop one of 2 ways.  Either do not allow them to unionize/give money to political candidates OR Read more…

News Flash to Neil Young …. Musicians are idiots.   The only people more stupid than musicians are rappers.  Their idiotic penchant for quasi-rhyming is a disguise for nothing inside. Due to the internet some day we will pay the correct amount for what songs are worth.  They will pay us to listen to them.  After all they are the ones who need their ego stroked by us listening.   Boom Boom Shakey Boom
