Google dominates internet, hallways, print.

Google attack blimp prepares for the midnight run.

More reasons to love, nay, worship, the Google. It's most recent paradigmatic shift move was to quietly purchase off-line ad space in a number of magazines, including PC Magazine and Maximum PC and then reselling the space to their AdWords advertisers, using their discounted long-term bulk purchasing power to sell, for instance, a stand-alone 1/4 page ad for 3 g's instead of the 5 it would cost the advertiser on their own. Pretty freakin awesome I say, cut those congloms off at the knees. Can Google get any better? Yes, and it will continue to do so. Anyone who says otherwise is just poo-poohing and sour grapes. When the Model-T came out, many declared car "just a fad." So don't be that guy. Get with the Google.

It's a Man-Ride-Bull World out there.

Ready for action, Mad A-Team styles!

We just moved. It's pretty sweet, we sit right in front of the bull in downtown Manhattan. And I sit on top of the bull, because that's the kind of guy I am. You can't see it but across the street is where I lock up my bicycle, after riding through Wall Street area via Broadway. Lately I've taken a more confrontational approach to the absolutely fearless pedestrians who run back and forth between the high rises and the subways. If they're going to cross my path, I speed up and aim for them and they usually scurry out of the way. One gray-hair passed within two inches of me and feeling particularly enabled, I gave him a loud bark as I passed. Molesting pedestrians is a great way to get psyched up in the morning and saves a buck on the coffee. Aggressive? Maybe. Don't blame me, it was the bull that did it.
