Totally Geeked out!

Posted on 6:34 AM by Unknown
So the City of Columbus website says


"Have you got a question for someone "at City Hall"?
Got a suggestion?
Or a complaint?
Well.... here's your chance.... Just click on Request Tracker
to get in touch with someone in city government who can (and will) respond."

Odd - I've registered twice and have gotten zero response! 

Here is the crazy thing the Police Department does.  They say that you can not park on EITHER side of the street on snow emergencies (3 inches or more snow), (even though everyone wants alternate side parking but they do not complain to their Aldermen) HOWEVER - out of the kindness of their hearts you are free to park in the City Parking lots - HOWEVER - there - you have to figure out what row because it's ALTERNATE ROW PARKING ALL THE TIME in the FREAKING PARKING LOT and you can get a $30 ticket.

How anal is THAT!  Yet - no one complains to their Aldermen.  Seems Alderman have a pretty easy job since no one ever tells them what they want.

If you want to tell your Aldermen something here is a map so you can figure out who to complain too.


So now you know where you are - here is who to complain too!

Columbus Aldermen
-----------------------------------------

Packers - the only reason I'm sad is that the Pack still so not have home field through out the playoffs!  I don't mind if they lost - almost happy actually. NOW they can concentrate on the big picture. The Superbowl.  Injuries are mounting up in some critical areas, the front "O" line.

I gotta give credit to the Chiefs - they played a really good game.   OH - The field goal kicker that scored all the points is Mr. Irrelevant - He was the very last guy drafted in the draft! 

OH - The Patriots vs. Tebow - Did you see after the game when the woman was interviewing Brady and her first question to Brady was ABOUT TEBOW  LOL   
------------------------------------------

Sort of rushed today as I'm heading to the Brewery for the hanging!

I have to rent a hammer drill to get through the reinforced tungsten walls for getting a little nail for hanging a few more images!  Then I'll let them have their ultra important inspections and MAYBE MAYBE Hydro Street Brewery will be open at some point tomorrow!

SO - I gotta get going.  (actually coffee is ready and I have to get some food in me).

And Christmas?  I received an iPad early - WOW - I am in total geek heaven.  If you go to the Weather Channel App you can see the entire world weather systems in almost real time from space - WOW - BUT WAIT.  You can zoom in more and more and more and more until you can see DJs car parked next to Jenny and Josh's house!!!   GEEK OUT!!!!!

You can go from this
   
To this - and all points inbetween


Geek me out the door!!!

I remember when there was a technology lull.  For a while there was a time when hardware could not keep up with the software.  Memory was still expensive.  Then there were developments in hardware and outstanding software caught up.  Now with the advent of game consoles like PS3 and Xbox and software is no longer stuck with so many versions of operating system they can go wild.

I believe we are on the cusp of some major life changing developments in how the world interacts.  With SO MUCH free knowledge available at you finger tips we are bound to reap benefits.

I downloaded a travel magazine (for free)  and I can touch the screen and BAM - I can instantly see where they are.

When I got my very first computer job for the State of Wisconsin my keyboard (seriously - this is 100% true) - my keyboard had no "1" and no "0"   I had to use a capitol "I" and a capital "O". 

I could go on and on - I probably will this week  LOL.

Cheers
Rod
