Bailouts suck!
We shouldn't be bailing out ANY of these companies. Not AIG, not Bear Stearns, not the banks, not the car companies, NONE OF THEM! We have got to clean all the garbage out of the system and the best way to do it is to let the incompetent companies fail. And the government MUST spend LESS, not more.
Yes it will be painful for all of us, but we all got ourselves in to this mess. Too many adjustable mortgages for homes we couldn't afford. Too many 52 inch flat panel TVs on credit cards or equity lines. Too many meals out. Too much. Now we gotta pay. We have to spend less, save more and work harder if we want any hope of a brighter future.

ROLL TIDE
Well, it has been a long time but Bama is #1 again. It may only be a week, but it is sweet to be there again. Even if this isn't our year to win it all, I am now confident we will sometime in the next 2 - 3 years. If we beat Auburn, anything above that is gravy for 2008!
Saban is a great recruiter anyway, but the success of this year coupled with the collapse of Auburn bodes well for the future. I'm excited about this year, but even more so for 2009 and beyond.

Ok, I'm back to try to start blogging again. My biggest problem is over thinking what I want to say. Blogs are "usually" should be spontaneous without much self-editing. Just a report of what you think, see, do, etc.
I'm a runner. It is my zone out and recharge place. There are a few time goals that I have and will be delving into those as the weeks and months go by. Given that I am fairly slow, these are modest goals to many, but a challenge to me. Ultimately, I want to run a sub 50 minute 10k, a sub 2 hour 1/2 marathon and a sub 4 hour marathon.
This past Saturday, I ran a 58:42 10k. Eight minutes and forty two seconds is a *lot* to trim off a 10k race time. My interim goal is 55 minutes within the new two months. I need the right course, the right weather and a little more mental toughness. After I hit 55 minutes, then it will be a steady march down to 50!

What is Social Media?
Frankly, I don't know. I hear about it, I read about it, it seems to be everywhere. Lots of people who are a lot smarter than me, like Jeff Pulver, have lot lot to say about it. But I'm still not sure what it really is, or more precisely, what is it to me? And how does it affect me and why should I care?
Maybe social media is just something as simple as any tool or technology that allows for interactive communication between two or more people. I'll keep searching for an answer.

No "Joy"ent yet. I was pretty stoked about Joyent's free Facebook hosting offer. Now I'm getting frustrated.
I know it is "free" and I shouldn't complain, but don't make promises and then not deliver. When I signed up yesterday, they said that demand was high, but I would receive my account info in less than 24 hours. Well, it has been over 27 hours and still no joy. I hope this isn't a indicator of the type of service they will deliver.

Running
Running is when I have time to ponder and think and clear the mind. I think those "Ipod runners" are missing out on a lot of great think time. Or maybe they can think deep life changing thoughts with Staind blasting in their ears. Not me. Give me a great trail around a lake, such as Winston-Salem's Salem Lake and I get a great hour of exercise and idea generation or problem solving. Then I crank up AC/DC Back in Black on the car CD player on the way home!
