Rob's Rantings

Welcome! On this page you'll find my ranting about just about anything. Some of it might even be useful! Probably not though, most people think what I say is just useless dribble. I can't really argue with that though.

Car TV Ads

Here I thought I had no inspiration tonight and yet I cant seem to shutup.

While I see the need to advertise why is it that car companies cant manage to put together some sort of entertaining TV Ad. Come on... What ever happened to the great Joe Isuzu ads? There was some humor in there. Mitsubishi has people thinking that you can listen to dance music and actually dance in their car. I have to at least give them there is snazzy tunes in the ads. The rest don't seem to appeal to anything.

Here is a free tip. How about showing me "Doc Brown" in his Delorian saying "At 88 miles per hour you're going to see some serious shit" and actually have these cars do something amazing!

Duck and cover!

Has the government not learned yet that scare tacticts don't work to help americans learn. What a load of fun. Read this http://www.geocities.com/thefirethread/index.html Thanks to Mark Vorpagel for the fun!

Take your kids to work day?

What sort of sick joke is this. Take your kid to work day? First off, let your kids go play. They will have to put up with enough crap soon enough. Keep them in school and let them learn. Taking them to work is like taking bad kids to prison. Scare them away?

Please, while it's nice to show your kids where you work it's way more important to get them to learn. On top of it I really dont want a bunch of kids running around the office. Putting up with their parents is trouble enough!

Listen to what?

I'm sure I'm not the only person out there to use Music for inspiration for my work. I use it as a motivator and it allows me to work much more productively.

Don't you hate it when you need the inspiration though and don't have a clue on what to listen to? This drives me nuts. I need something other than songs that I know like a Christmas carol. Something new yet motivational. While rhapsody has radio, it's hit or miss. Finding new music consumables is tough to find when you need them to make a profound impact to you.

Moods like this are often frustrating.
