Thank God It’s Friday!

I really didn’t want to get up this morning when my alarm went off. It was so bad that I didn’t even realize how much I didn’t want to get up until after I went through a 5 minute process of realizing that, my alarm was in fact going off for real, meaning I wasn’t having a weird reoccurring nightmare, which led me to the horrible realization that I was about to piss all over myself. Work was gay as usual (Pun intended with the least possible offense intended… Hey that’s just how I talk, and/or think so quit judging me), and the 60 minutes trip home on the metro was even worse, but after I disrobed my day suddenly took a turn for the much better. I don’t think that the undressing had anything to do with it, and at this point I don’t really want to explain my reasons for sharing that seemingly unimportant undertaking, so lets just chalk that one up to some good old harmless humour. Anyway I made some serious progress with my del.icio.us links. I didn’t really understand the importance of consistent and meaningful tags until Id been actively using the service for about a week, so I had some tedious nonsense that I needed to tend to. I’m still in the process of updating the comments, but I feel pretty good about what I’ve accomplished. If you wanna check it out, CLICK ME ONE TIME ONLY!!! I just had to make light of this ridiculous shit that I always see int he computer lab at work. These computer illiterate nincompoops clicking hypertext links 15 times because “I think the Internet is down!” Perhaps if there wasn’t 35 people sharing one dedicated line, we could all enjoy immediate satisfaction with all link clicking, but as it stands, WE ARE STILL IN THE FRICKEN STONE AGE IN AMERICA, and suffer we must, until something better sustains for awhile. If you are wondering where all this passion comes from, just check out a couple links to get you thinking (If this is not new to you please skip ahead to the last link).: Tapei becomes wireless city; that’s just some interesting crap right there. I don’t know exactly what it means in relation to my earlier comments, but at least we’re staying on topic. Here’s an interesting link that I’ll bet started some very interesting conversations…: The Phone Companies Still Don’t Get It. And Finally here’s the culmination… Has The Free Market Failed The US When It Comes To Broadband? I really like this article. The message is closely aligned with my point of view which is of course all but worthless given my semi-incomplete understanding of these things, but anyway I hope it gives you something to think about. So Ive had enough of this post, and this blog for now. Thanks for staying with me till the end. Have a nice weekend.. Jacob Barde

can’t help but to point out the mis-spelling: it’s “Taipei” not “Tapei”
… ‘cuz I was born there.

Well I feel like a dumbass. What a thing to get wrong. I apologize for any offense, and I offer no excuse. I am on the road right now, and have been for about a month, so I have found it difficult to keep up with the blog, which explains why I didn’t respond sooner. I originally intended to correct my error, but I don’t think that would do my learning experience and apology any justice so Ill leave the typo. Furthermore, what kind of record (if you are willing to think of it as such) would this be if I edited after posting. Anyhow Hsu Yang Chang, thanks a lot for taking the time to point out my error, and in doing so, giving me the opportunity to address my mistake. Have a great season. Jacob Barde

Nice blog!

Thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog, and as I am not sure I take your comment for what it is (of course it is simply a genuine compliment), I cant help but feel as if you are patronizing me. I haven’t posted for almost six months. Anyway regardless of my notions, any well meaning compliment deserves a quiet thank you, and perhaps a bit of a blush. So Thank You again Livette, and yes of course I am blushing a bit.
