David Unleashed

Yes, the rumors are true.  I am moving back to Whatcom county, WA.  Actually I am on the road right now.  We will be moving back into the old PRWeb facilities in downtown Ferndale in mid-July as soon as Vocus moves their employees to their new digs.

If you want to work with some of the smartest people on the planet and you live in Ferndale, WA (we may accept hampsters too) you need to submit your resume.  Email it to me if you can figure out my email address.  HINT, my name is David and I own the domain name, cranberry.com.

I am looking for LAMP developers and graphic designers.  Your skills must be approaching that of a ninja or at a minimum your average Castle Monkey.  Editorial and customer service staff will be ramped up shortly soon too.

I caught the headline of the newspaper yesterday that the average life expectancy is now 78 years old in America. This is not good. We should be shortening the average life expectancy if we want to reduce our carbon footprint. What a conundrum. Legislation please. We must stop this whole living too long thing. Hey Al, pass the smokes.

Here are your new environmentalists.

Overweight people. See, I do care about the environment.
Smokers.
Alcoholics.
Gangs; think drive by shootings.
Anyone who puts their life in jeopardy.

Join our green movement today!  It is easier than jogging everyday.  Or join your local chapter, fatbastards.com

When I read that Australia had made it illegal to use the incandescent light bulb I knew it was a matter of time before it was adopted here in the United States.  Then at the beginning of the year I noted that Ireland had implemented the same law.  It was inevitable then that it was destined to become a law here. Well, that day has arrived.  In a move reminiscent of Mussolini’s fascist state, Congress has made your light bulbs illegal.  That’s right, you need to burn out all of your incandescent bulbs by 2014.

I am reminded how my town of Ferndale passed a ban on big-box stores a week after Bellingham passed their ban.  Worse, Ferndale did it without much, if any, input from residents.  They just rubber stamped the action taken by Bellingham, WA.  Well, this post is not about Bellingham.

I have nothing against saving the environment or using compact florescent bulbs (I have a house full of them).   I do resent congress mandating what type of bulbs I can use in my home ostensibly to save electricity, especially when they are funding research into alternative fuels that produce electricity so that we can consume more–to fuel our electric or hybrid cars.  Is anybody thinking about this stuff?

In the midst of the non-sense, here is one Congressman that has a sense of humor about the subject.

It is late and I have been driving my gas powered car for about 11 hours (12.5mpg highway).  Going to bed now.

I spent a good part of the afternoon looking into this new service. It is both fun and useful. Nicely done.

DandyId makes it easy for me to manage all of my online social identities in one place. Check out the links to the right in the sidebar. I need to add more to my profile, but I am in the middle of a move back to Washington so that will have to wait.
