Sumocat's Rambles

At the Iwo Jima Memorial

Ugh. Social networks and people I know online keep using my real name this week.

Seeing my real name used online reminds me of how much my nickname has grown to be the online me. I don’t always like it, but in digital life, I am Sumocat.

Is social networking supposed to be viral? If not, sorry if I infected you. #Google+

Came home late last night and responded to an email that Josh Smith had added me to one of his Google+ circles. Logged in and wound up joining the network. Next morning I found I repeated the process. Feel a little unclean now.

Despite poor reviews, people chose comic book star over Mormon. Bad sign for Mitt. http://tinyurl.com/3fqturv

We’ll see in 2012 if political life imitates the arts.

Sorry for the looping tweets. Hopefully I've fixed the issue.

If not this entry will show up on Twitter a dozen times.

That sound you hear is my brain sizzling as I attempt to catch up with a week's worth of work.

The problem with going above and beyond one’s regular duties is that those regular duties need to get done eventually.

Geared up for Annual Meeting

Caught the bus to H.E.B.

Pretty good supermarket with great deli area. Enjoying sushi now.

This must be the place...

Waiting for my baggage in San Antonio.

Getting drunk at Sunset Hills Vineyard

Kidding. I'm stone sober as usual.

Feeling fantastic (at the moment)

Feel like I finally got a bad med out of my system. Will see how well diet and exercise serve me this weekend.

I like my batteries like I like my women: packing a jelly roll. http://tinyurl.com/3zpl4js

Sorry, I saw the words “jelly roll” and couldn’t help myself.

Great advice from @ChrisPirillo: "Is Your Blog Human Enough?" http://bit.ly/lG4Ngc

Between sarcasm and handwritten posts, I’ve got the human angle pretty well covered.

Why can't PowerPoint have an easy option to export high-res images?

People see these slides blown up across projector screens and think they’ve got massive images, then they export them to image format at 960 x 720 still believing they’re huge. Meanwhile, the solution of printing with Microsoft Document Imaging remains a well-kept secret. There needs to be an easy “export to printable format” option.
