Presenting to an audience with a confrintational perspective seems to be a recipy for failure. It is one thing to be nervis. If one does not find that they are there to provide an oppertunity for the audience to can knowledge of the subject they are there for. In a confritational presentation I would not listen to any thing that would be said or atleast utilize what was being said.
The presentation that I have given I have alway found that I learned somthing aswell.

I was thinking “It’s almost like copy and paste from your spam filter,” or, “Someone left the door open and to can knowledge got out, never to return.”

minimum wage + internet = this post

So I ordered some Chipotle online last night. You get to put names on the items ordered so you don’t have to open everything up to figure out what belongs to who. There has to be some equation for pay to sense of humor ratio for people in the food service industry, I can’t see the maître d’ at some fancy place laughing at this, then again you probably can’t order a burrito online from them either.

City Card Baaaallloooows

Seriously, they had a breach in their own security, which caused them to shut down my current card, and then issue me another one. Sucks, but that happens.

The crappy part?

It happened in a billing cycle, so I COULD NOT MAKE A PAYMENT.

THEY CHARGED ME A $39.00 LATE FEE AND RAISED MY INTEREST RATE TO 25%

Wow, I’m calling austrian babies on this one.

I just spent most of my morning getting them to reverse something that they caused. AND THEN. AND THEN!!! the lady offered me on the phone a protection plan so this would not happen again, which was 85 cents of EVERY dollar of my minimum balance, THAT WAS THE COST OF THE PLAN. So since my new minimum balance was $92.56, the program would cost me another $78.68 a month… FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS THEIR FAULT.

Credit card companies are evil. Come on Obama, the legislation for them has to be harder then what you just signed.

Beautiful Feeling

Sometimes I can see for miles
Through water and fire
From England to America
I feel life meet my eyes

And it’s the best thing
It’s the best thing
It’s the best thing
A beautiful feeling

A smile from San Diego
He’s still a boy
Two ends to every rainbow
And a train from Mexico

And he’s the best thing
He is the best thing
He is the best thing
A beautiful feeling

And when I watch you move
And I can’t think straight
And I am silenced
And I can’t think straight

And it’s the best thing
It’s the best thing
The best thing
Such a beautiful feeling

When I die

The one where they improved star wars dialogue by replacing words with “pants”

I find your lack of pants disturbing.
You are unwise to lower your pants.
Your pants, you will not need them.
Chewie and me got into a lot of pants more heavily guarded than this.
The Force is strong in my pants.
I cannot teach him. The boy has no pants.
You came in those pants? You’re braver than I thought.
In his pants you will find a new definition of pain and suffering
Governer Tarkin. I should have expected to find you holding Vader’s pants.
I think you just can’t bear to let a gorgeous guy like me out of your pants.
Pull up! All pants pull up!
A disturbance in the pants. I have not felt this since near my old master…
I sense the conflict within you. Let go of your pants!
That blast came from the pants! That thing’s operational!
He has no time for smugglers who drop their pants first sign of Imperials
I’ve just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of our pants forever
Alderan is peaceful, we have no pants!
These aren’t the pants you’re looking for.
