PoliticalBase.com

Political Statement

I recently discovered politicalbase.com and highly recommend it to any one interested in learning more about their politicians. They lay out information in an easy to navigate manner and list the total contributions each politician has received. You can browse by ‘issues’ to find out which politicians are doing what on the topics that you care about. Also their sign up process is fast and beautifully executed.

Each candidate has a wiki style entry where users can upload and manage information. It’s light on some specific types of content (e.g. proposed legislation, bill tracking) but it shows tons of promise and will no doubt help usher in a new era of transparency.

An Open Letter to Manufacturers of Treadmills

January 21st, 2008

treadmill

Please allow the user to turn the display on and off during their workout. When I use a treadmill I am obsessed with how much time I have left. So much so that I can never stop looking at the timer. I’ve tried putting a towel over it, but eventually it just slides off (usually under my feet). I’ve even considered building some device that would clip on to the machine to cover the display but somehow I think the people at NYSC might have a problem with that.

We have the technology. We just need someone to lead us! I’m looking at you Life Fitness.

Flickr Stats!

December 20th, 2007

Prostitutes

Flickr has recently added stats to their pro accounts. It should come as no surprise that my most viewed photo is the image titled ‘prostitutes’.

These ladies were outside my hotel in Madrid. Apparently coverall dresses are de riguer. It’s worth noting that this was not some alley in the bad part of town. This was a busy thoroughfare.

I didn’t actually ask them if they were prostitutes. They may have all been standing around for several hours waiting for friends. Click the picture for more photos.

10 Things You Should Not Say in Your Job Interview

December 20th, 2007

Dan

1. “I work well with others. I also work well on others.”

2. “This job will serve me well until ‘The Quickening’ begins.”

3. “I believe in a diverse workplace. Some of my best friends are darkies.”

4. “I’m not big on pants.”

5. “Things didn’t work out so well at my last job. Apparently they hate the 2nd Amendment.”

6. “My sponsor says this is a great place to work.”

7. “I’m looking for a job that will really challenge me. At my last job, all those that challenged me were swiftly felled by the cold steel of my warhammer.”

8. “I feel like my strengths are time management and appearing productive.”

9. “My relationship with God is an important part of my life. He’s sitting beside me.”

10. “What happened to your face?”
