This was the very first house I designed as a self-employed poor man. It is finally under construction.

Update of the Webbynets and Stuff (Dammit! It's Cold!!!)
But, dammit, it is cold here. I am wearing long pants and socks, a danged fleece jacket, and just turned the heat on. On the last day of MARCH!!! I blame Al Gore.
Anyhoo, since I have never done this ever before FAH REALS, there is a Pay Pal link on the right sidebar that needs for you to use it. It is in the very top widget. If you have one million dollars laying around gathering dust, I know someone that can put that to good use. Trust me. I blame Obama for that, too. This is what is going on in my industry right now. Seriously, do it, I'm not kidding.
Now for the webbynet news.
We added Disqus comments to our business Tumblr. Go check our stuff out and now you can comment, too!
Today is a HUGE HUGE HUGE day at Blogger, too! They have added some SUH-WEET template upgrades that are going to change the appearance of blogs. If you want to see what Your MoM looks like with these new breast implants and sexy clothing, CHECK HER ASS OUT! Dude, she is SMOKING HAWT! (Yes, it just keeps going and going as you scroll down, too. I went all the way back to September of last year that I can tell.)
Check out the new +1 feature on Google Social Search. At some point in the future, we will not even speak to our friends anymore. We'll just click one button and they'll know everything that is going on in our lives and will know where we are. That future day is NOW.
This week in Teh Google Search. Oh, look, they have a new iPhone app, too! That is good for iPhone users because you cannot CALL anybody.
Oh, LOOK! Chrome Bookmarks integrate with Google Search, now.
Here are the Google Apps highlights from last week. That discussion thingy seems like it will be the next Wave. Online collaboration might have a future, I just do not know how soon that will occur, though.
Speaking of online collaboration and other stuff, here is a Google apology for sharing failures with Buzz.
Google Docs is testing a pagination feature. The thing that gets to me about Docs is that "Home" shows all files. Even when you move those files into a "Folder," they still show up on "Home." I kinda like things cleaner than that, personally.
Flickr has added a Share feature that allows you to integrate with FAILbook, Twittah, Blogger, and Wordpress. The only hiccup? You have to have a Yahoo account. Yuck.
And from PMD Affiliates, "How to do Email Marketing Right." These posts are going to be compiled into a traffic e-book that I am putting together. I think that I am going to sell it for nine bucks or so. Any thoughts on that?
Try to remember to hits that Pay Pal and maybe click some ads. Deddy needs some cheese, please.

A Local "Progressive" Moron
(Yes, I know that "Progressive" moron is redundant.)
This past Wednesday, Kingfish at Jackson Jambalaya linked a post at Jackson Fool Press posted by DonnerK about why folks leave Jackson. I want to point out how fucking stupid you have to be to be "Progressive" using DonnerK's post for the LITERAL example.
Here is the post at the Fondren Bugle. Trust me, if you built a spreadsheet to tabulate the TOTAL CUMULATIVE IQ of the people that read and comment at the Jackson Free Press, your spreadsheet would only need single digits and use only addition. The posts there make Cynthia Tucker at the AJC appear to be a rocket scientist, because even though Tucker's arguments are ridiculously stupid, at least there is a recurring theme. RAAAAACISM!!!
The topic: Why do people leave Jackson?
DonnerK says,
And...
And...
Do we see the problem here? Lemme help. "Fear of crime" is not an issue. CRIME is an issue. "Progressives" never pay any attention to actual results or outcomes, they only focus on INTENT or the emotional aspects of stuff. You see, words actually mean something. The issue for DonnerK is FEAR. "Of crime" describes that fear.
Intelligent people do not leave Jackson because of fear, they leave because of the much higher crime rate.
Of course, if you are an idiot, maybe fear is your motivation. Also, I found out that there are children getting MUGGED waiting on the school bus in Jackson. Does the emotion FEAR enter into the equation? Certainly, but when a normal person talks about why they are moving from Jacktroit, they say "I am moving because the crime rates are continually going up." One is an emotional reaction and one is a logical reaction to a real world problem. Of course, Jackson is run by "Progressives" so it is going to "progress" just like those other "Progressive" cities. Into the shitter.
Number two is a "Belief that public officials are inept." No, those public officials ARE INEPT. That is kinda why y'all elected Frank over Harvey the last go around, because Harvey was an incompetent BOOB. Of course, the minute Frank was sworn in, The Bugle went all in trashing the shit out of him. So did Ronnie Agnew at the Clarion-Ledger, but that is beside the point. And now, since that was in The Ago and the "Progressive" mental Etch-A-Sketch was turned over and shaken, Harvey is right back where he was when y'all threw him out of office for his incompetence. Wow, same thing, but different results are expected? MORONS.
DonnerK's third point about the too many black folks well, that is simply stupid. The black folks are getting the Hell out, too!!! Because of the CRIME!
On number four, if Jackson's population continues to elect the morons that they have for the past thirty years, the number of people is not going to be an issue because everyone is fleeing! Therefore the noise is going to plummet. That problem is solved by continuing to elect "Progressives."
Here's five: "Belief that public schools are unsuitable." Again, it is not a matter of a "belief," it is a matter of HOLY SHIT!!! the schools in Jacktroit are terrible. Maybe it is because of our "belief that public officials are inept?"
NO. It is because those dumbasses ARE inept.
Six and seven are the EXACT same thing. Blah, blah, blah...it could be that there are no jobs in Jackson because the tax rates are much higher than surrounding areas? Maybe?
Fifteen, same thing. FEAR of flooding. Well, actual flooding could devalue your property and stuff, but that FEAR!!!
As a disclaimer, I have never met DonnerK and probably never will because I am forty-six years old and she only hangs out with college students. So, I cannot make a definitive statement about her INTENT, but I can say that she is a dumbass because she admits that she is a "Progressive."
Stereotypes become stereotypes for a reason, you know? "Progressives" become stereotyped as morons because "Progressive" ideology is so freaking stupid.
Sidebar: QB posted a few of his/her LEGITIMATE reasons for leaving Jackson. The word FEAR did not occur once in the list. Remember my comment above about what intelligent people say?
The very next comment was from an obvious "Progressive" because it was so stupid, "is #50 hearsay?"
Yeah, dumbass, it is hearsay when I state plainly and definitively that my cars have been broken into on four occasions and the JPD refused to take fingerprints on three of those occasions. How is it even possible that "Progressives" have not been naturally selected OUT of the gene pool?

DonnerK says,
1. Fear of crime.
2. Belief that public officials are inept, etc.
3. Too many black people.
4. Don't like city living (too many people, too noisy, etc.)
5. Belief that public schools are unsuitable.
6. Can't find a fulfilling job.
7. Can't find a job, or one that pays enough.
And...
9. Too many potholes.
10. City residents not tolerant enough of ___________ (gays, Republicans, crazy artists).
11. Want to live in a more creative, artsy city with those opportunities.
12. City too liberal/Democratic.
And...
15. Fear of flooding.
16. Going to school somewhere else.

The Comcast Update - An Ongoing Series (UPDATED!!!)
UPDATE: This post is the first item on the second page of Google Blog Search immediately upon publication. Wow!
Well, just to fill y'all in on the ongoing wunnerFAIL service being delivered from Comcast...
And a...Part 1, and a...Part 2, and a...Part 3...
In case you don't get this picture, I originally placed an order for "highspeed" wireless internet access with Comcast on March 2, 2011. The modem was installed on March 4, 2011. Today is March 26, 2011 and I still do not actually have internet service at my home.
BUT!!! I received the SECOND bill for service today. Not the FIRST, mind you, the SECOND. I have received TWO bills in 24 days since I signed up for service. Ignore the fact that I paid them seventy dollars ($70.00) CASH when they installed the modem, allegedly for my first month and the installation charge.
After I received the first bill, I gave Comcast a call and let them have what minute part of my mind that I could spare. They finally assured me (after talking to five people over two days) that I would not receive a bill until I had the router that is required to complete my connection.
They LIED.
I opened today's received bill on my short walk from the mailbox and when I saw that it was indeed a bill, I deposited it in the trash receptacle on my carport. The fun part? Even if I never pay the bill and service is "disconnected," I would never know because I do not have the router necessary to use their service yet.
In the defense of Comcast, however, they did tell me that the routers were on backorder until after the first of April. So, I am not sweating it. But, if I receive the router, go to plug it in and my service STILL doesn't work, I am going to LOSE. MY. SHIT.
Yes,I have dealt with large communications corporations in my lifetime. Yes, I have had problems with those corporations in my lifetime. But, NO, I have never experienced anything that remotely compares with this, not even trying to get Verizon to credit me the 700 bucks text overage charges that went on for a solid year. (Verizon doesn't know the difference between 0.007 CENTS v. 0.007 DOLLARS)
Anyhoo, still no internet, YO.

Interwebs, Teh Google, and Tech Stuff
Since we are all about some online jamming, I thought that we could check out how the browsers are doing for hacked. See if you can guess which ones were the easiest to hack and which ones were the toughest. Go ahead, pick the toughest to crack and the easiest. NO CHEATING!!!
Just so you know, Firefox 4 got a bunch more downloads that IE9 on the concomitant release day. Almost FOUR TIMES more. Of course, I still get hits from folks with IE6, so maybe, well, you know.
Here are the stats from the first 48 hours of Firefox 4's release. DANG.
By the way, Basil still has not released his review of RockMelt. And, he doesn't like phones, either.
Here are some freebie apps to help you with your internet and website experience. All free and all good, too. I am going to add some of these to my Web Resources page. And as long as we are dumping this kind of info, I never really found a way to describe this JavaScript Source page.
Since the main thing that we do here is blog, getting more readers engaged with our published work is always a huge goal. Google suggests that you add the new "Follow by Email" widget. I have not tried this yet, but it uses the very same Feedburner technology that the RSS Feed uses.
Here are some of the upcoming features for Blogger. I am already using the mobile template and it looks pretty good on my Droid X, too.
Here are some more features to be released.
One of the main things that I tweak on this blog is junk that produces better page load times. Google has add-ons for Firefox and Chrome to help you in that endeavor.
I have been keeping a really close eye on things since installing Disqus. I know that some people have said that they have to log in every time they visit, but I have not experienced that problem. Plus, Disqus has added log in with your Google Profile, so that makes it easier, hopefully.
I know that I told y'all about the increased internal linking with Disqus, but did you know that most people are saying adding Facebook comments is HURTING your SEO?
A sure fire way to grab all the traffic you want and more is to develop a good lining system. And those links? They need to have a good diversity in order to build Page Ranking and SERP ranking.
One of things that I use to reduce the number of people leaving this site is Linkwithin. The Link Medic has some steps to change the look of that widget. Why change it if it works? Some stuff could work better.
Gmail has added even more services to import into your Gmail. I wish they had done this about five years ago, that sure would have made my life easier.
Xobni has released their sidebar magic into Gmail, too. Xobni adds rich profiles for your contacts. Get Xobni here.
Rapportive is another rich contact insert for Gmail.
More on Google Docs discussions. And more.
Docs has new ways to filter your data in spreadsheets, too.
New stuff in Drawings in Docs.
The Link Medic has a post on Picnik resizing of photos for Picasa. I have Photoshop, Gimp, and Paint.net on my computer, and still I use this method. Strange, huh? No, because it is easier and quicker to change forty different photos at one fell swoop when I am uploading to the Paul Mitchell Design Architecture Tumblr.
You Tube has added the ability to embed Xtranormal and other services to your You Tube videos. No video camera needed!
More NEW! You Tube features.
AdSense has a new homepage. They are rolling out new features for AdSense every Wednesday. Usually, it is a buttload of stuff, too.
Yahoo is trying to actually compete with Google now. Yahoo has added Search Direct. They are offering Real-Time Answers with it, too.
Even Adobe is getting into the traffic game with analytics on their stuff, now.
My next post like this is going to be own transforming FAILbook profiles to pages. Keep coming back.
Please take the time to comment.
Avatar - A Movie Review
Well, since I have been back in The 'Sip, I have quickly become exactly who I was before I left. Right down to the not paying a penny to watch movies. Yes, my reviews come a little later than other reviewers, but I do not have to wear clothes to my viewings!
Now, there were plenty of folks that said Avatar was the typical liberal claptrap about hating the United States and our military, anti-capitalism, and a bunch of crystal worshiping bullshit.
THEY WERE RIGHT, but only up to a point. Let's get this done, mmmmkay?
Sigourney Weaver looks just the same as she did in Ghostbusters. Albeit, she is BLUE instead of RED in this movie. Seriously, I have seen a bunch of folks with braces on their teeth and wearing all kinds of dental implements, but never have I witnessed anyone that had teeth that looked as overly orthodontured as Weaver's. How in the mortal Hell does anyone get their teeth to look that freaking FAKE?
Plus, she still doesn't have any curves. What the Hell? Aren't women supposed to put on weight in good places once they start to age? If you took her into the shower and slicked her hair back, she would look just like a ten year old BOY. Now, that I think about it, ALL of the blue people looked like that. Maybe instead of being a granola-crunching libfest, this movie is really about promoting pedophilia?
Anyhoo, the movie was the typical fantasy movie with 90% cartoon action. Now, there have been IDIOTS that said that they wanted to DIE so they could go to Pandora. Ignore the fact that Pandora was a fantasy place FROM A MOVIE. Why imagine dying to go to somewhere when you can see Pandora right here on Earth? Obviously James Cameron did a bunch of SCUBA diving in preparation to film Titanic. Pandora is the Santa Rosa Reef, folks. You don't believe me? Check it out. You might have to scroll down a bit to get past all the BLUE PHOTOS, but seriously, if you could not tell that all that stupid cartoon crap was nothing but jellyfish, maybe you should stay indoors. And humans had to wear SCUBA gear to be there? Good Lord, even those six-legged water buffalo looking animals were Hammerheads. The reason that those people want to DIE to go to Pandora instead of simply diving Santa Rosa is because to actually see that stuff HERE, they would have to go outside and exert actual physical energy. FUCK THAT!!!
Now, if you ignore the fact that Avatar was incredibly boring and stupid, maybe you could get to a critique of the computer generated stuff? Blade Runner's stuff was more interesting and I was not a HUGE fan of Blade Runner. In case you were wondering, Blade Runner came out in 1982, so the computer generated stuff of Avatar, 2009, did not even stack up to that.
So, let's recap the concept, the players, the background, and the technology. You go SCUBA diving, you like the pretty colors, and you want to film a fantasy. You get a bunch of no-names and has-beens to star in your picture so you do not have to pay them anything so you will make an ass-load of cash, you imagine a culture of hillbilly rubes that worship Mother Gaia, and you get a bunch of basement dwelling "Progressive" cretins, who jack off to anime all day long, that you can browbeat on your plantation to put the movie together. That about wraps that whole thing up.
And weird, you pretty much make fun of everyone, ("Progressives," Conservatives, and retarded savages) and I do mean everyone on Earth in the process while making boatloads of dust, too. WIN and WIN!
Now, the plot/story/indoctrination.
Dumb as dirt young man somehow gets crippled. Brother is killed getting robbed. Moron cripple takes smart brother's place in some kind of weird "science" thingy at a money-making operation. Now, the twist. Cripple moron sees that making money is bad and living in trees is awesome. Sounds like Bezerkley, huh?
The only way that someone can grasp the liberal claptrap of drum circles and Kumbaya is to be dumb as dirt. Please keep in mind that Kumbaya is allegedly based on an African spiritual, but that has never been proven. And we all know that Africa is the mostest awesomest place that has all of the things that "Progressives" want. No electricity, rampant starvation, AIDS all over the place, and slaughter. But, the thing Cameron attempts to do with the whole worship the planet thingy contradicts itself so many times as to render the person of minimally average intelligence so confused that he/she/ambiguous other just surrenders and accepts the basic premise. That is cool, THIS IS A MOVIE.
The Blue Folks live in trees, participate in drum circles, do not have any technology, ride on pterodactyls, worship jellyfish, yet STILL Cameron wants you to think that they are more advanced than someone that understands electricity? What "Progressives" fail to even comprehend is that the more advanced a culture or civilization becomes, the MORE humane that culture becomes. An example? ANY THIRD WORLD COUNTRY v. the United States. Ours is a much more advanced culture and we keep those dung-hut-dwelling rubes ALIVE. Another example is that Afghanistan devolved into tribal warlord slaughter even though parts of the country had running water.
Why would anyone make the leap of stupidity to even imagine that the blue people would be anything other than slaughtering savages? OH! That's right, because they believe that the American Indians were not slaughtering savages, thanks to Howard Zinn and countless other useful idiots. I think that is why some folks say that Avatar is Dances with Wolves in space.
No, Avatar is Scooby Doo with killing with jellyfish and dinosaurs.
All that said, Avatar was not unwatchable. Granted, most movies are made for stupid people, by stupid people, with stupid people. This movie entertains the stupid people's target audience, other stupid people, while employing other stupid people. So, if you want to sit down, blow a couple of hours watching stupid cartoon jellyfish and dinosaurs, Avatar will be right up your alley.
And if you go to the library, you can borrow the movie for free and not give Cameron any more money, from what this movie teaches, that is what he wants, anyway.
Final conclusion: Movie is gay and not funny.
Please take the time to comment.

Drive-By Blogging - What's Up, Dude?
On to the BLOG SHOW!!!
Barry Obama gets head stuck between the balusters of the White House grand stair!
Those folks in the UK have decided that Barry Obama's best traits are that he is so stupid that he cannot be evil.
But, at least he knows how to spend the money!
Has the Nobel clusterf*ck ever taken away their Heisman?
The Obama Stimulus only cost seven million jobs. That is the closest to a success President Shit-Eater has ever had.
And luckily gas is not going to cost more than five bucks a gallon. In case you forgot, national average was $1.799 a gallon when W. Bush left office.
Two Dogs does evolution, AGAIN.
Ann Coulter likes "Progressive" science.
I am currently working on the latest issue of Playing With Your Google and will post quite a few architecture links to the Tumblr today. Hit me up over there, I am doing some testing and I need your help.

The Two Dogs Take on Barry's War Against Libya
Sure, it is right to bomb Muslim countries because Muslims endanger the whole world. Yes, it is all good to firmly fight back against the Islamic political death machine. Yes, it is right to attack the people that terrorize innocent people that are just going about their daily lives. BUT, it is beyond ignorantly stupid to tell those Muslim enemies that there will be no ground support in this endeavor. What kind of special stupidity must someone possess to actually give military information to the other side? Seriously, how fucking moronic does someone have to be to do that?
By the way, Dennis Kucinich, "Islam is a religion based on PEACE." No, there is no such thing as an intelligent Democrat.
Plus, trouble in public school Paradise. They be shutting down Barry Obama (BAH!) Elementary School. In case you do not know the BAH! Check it.
Well, I have been saying that Barry Obama is that kind of special moron since way back in 2005. WOW! Six years that I have been telling anyone that would listen that Barry Obama is a collectivist, water-carrying Libtard. And it is very hard to keep posting more and more of the idiotic policy stuff that he spews. Dammit, I am utterly sick of it.
There is only one reason that Barry Obama has decided to stick it to Libya and that is to prop up his plummeting poll numbers. And, if Barry fails with this tactic to kick off his reelection campaign, men and women in our military DIE. Already, one F-15 has gone down in Libya.
Look, it is not just his fecklessness on the military action against Islamic Libya, but Barry actually said that Nancy Pelosi would go down as one of the BEST Speakers of the House in history. Dude, I have suggested that Barry's IQ hovers around 40 or 45, but to actually say aloud that Pelosi was anything other than a complete failure at everything she has ever attempted and is embarrassingly stupid, has made me think about recalculating his numbers. There is little possibility that his IQ could exceed maybe four or five. The fact that so far I have not seen any video of him eating the heat rocks that Bo drops on the Barry White House lawn STUNS ME and keeps me from making that single digit call right now.
By the way, if you really, really want to see exactly how stupid Nancy Pelosi really is, watch the video that I have linked here. Simply put, she is dumb.
Now, while Barry is partying his wife's HUGH JASS off in South America, he is asking to get him a Czar Czar. To point out that Barry is simply like every other Democrat brain-dead idiot, I offer the Von Anderson Form a Committee to Develop a Committee to Work on a Problem Committee to Determine a Problem Initiative.
Czar Czar.
More Democrats head to the slammer.
More Democrats get unelected because of their love for FASCISM.
Still more correlation of minimum wage and unemployment. I am so glad that this is finally getting some print and airplay.
Iowahawk has figured out how to budget to a mere ten billion a day.
Another Democrat from back in the day admits his faults. In related news, Joseph McCarthy continues to be correct in all his undeniable truths. Odd, with all the Communists in Wisconsin wilding lately, huh?
Oh, coveting is the ideological direction of the Democrat Party.

Drive-By Blogging - Obama Follows Fwance into War
Who on Earth gives one shit? Me.
Since Barry Obama has only produced failure, hate, and economic discontent around the entire globe, this PREEMPTIVE WAR can only end poorly because it will be driven by the lack of planning and knowledge of real world data that only comes when Democrats get involved with REALITY.
My heart goes out to the military men and women, plus their families, that will be led by the most feckless moron ever to inhabit the Barry White House.
Prayers to you folks and hopefully we will remove this idiot from the helm very, very soon.

Slumdog Millionaire - A Movie Review
It was a freaking romantic comedy, y'all. Yes, it was watchable, but it was the kind of movie that you would expect Julia Roberts as the female lead. This was the BEST picture in 2009? Sorry, but I just do not remember, did 2009 really, really suck for movies? Let's see.
(By the way, Freida Pinto was the kinda lead female and she is hot. Freida Pinto NUDE!!!)
OH YEAH. Other Best Picture nominees were Milk, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, and The Reader. I have seen NONE of these, but they cannot be worse than Slumdog, huh? 2009 was also the year of The Dark Knight, which was awful, and Hellboy II. Dammit, they made another Hellboy? Wasn't the first Hellboy bad enough?
Oh, wait, the 2009 Oscar season was also the year of Ironman!!! So, I have now seen a total of three of the movies nominated by the Academy for awards that year. Obviously, Ironman was the best of the three and was pretty damned boring.
If you want to burn a couple of hours watching a movie that is not Southland Tales bad, Slumdog is doable.
Make no mistake, the ONLY reason that Slumdog Millionaire won Best Picture is because at least four times in the movie, it is pointed out that the main male character is MUSLIM.
That makes at least fourteen years in a row where being the nominees for Academy Awards means NOTHING. I guess that I'll get a movie from 2010 next time. The Hurt Locker won Best Picture, any comments on that?

Things that NEED to be Said - A Never-Ending Series
* The powers that be at CNN do not understand science, mathematics, history, language, or anything else for that matter.
* There is a right and a wrong in every situation.
* Abortion is WRONG. There is no way to make it right. AT ALL.
* Taking money from people that earn it and giving it to people that do NOTHING to earn ANY money is WRONG. And it is certainly NOT Biblical teaching.
* Barry Obama has set the Being President Barre so low that John Kruk could do a better job.
* Or, G_d forbid, even Hillary Clinton. (She's almost as smart as Krukkie, right?
* It just dawned on me the way to tell if something is right or wrong is to find out what "Progressives" believe and do the exact opposite. They have never been right on a single issue.
* When a "Progressive" makes a declarative statement, just point and laugh.
* Comcast has a tendency to Peter Principle people into supervisory roles.
* Firing dumbasses is better than promoting them out of producing areas of your company. Just saying.
* If you are wondering why the DJIA is UP at this particular point in time, find out how much tax money that has been given to the Wall Street guys by their buddy, Barry Obama.
* Posting really has nothing to do with how much traffic a blog gets. Especially when the blog in question ranks as number one or two on Teh Google for a bunch of different chicks NUDE.

An Update of the Failure of Comcast to Offer Even BASIC Internet Access (UPDATED!!!)
Update at bottom of post...
This image from FAILBLOG.
Here is the ultimate on FAIL to deliver even a MINOR service.
On March 2, 2011, I called Comcast Cable to have wireless internet installed in my home. WIRELESS internet. Get it, Comcast, WIRELESS.
On Friday, March 4, 2011, the Comcast technicians came to my home, ran a cable to the house, drilled through my brick and interior wall finish, added a junction box on the outside of my home, and installed a cable modem. These guys had their shit in one sock, did not make a mess, were super friendly, and fast.
ONE PROBLEM, COMCAST. They did not have a router to provide the WIRELESS INTERNET. That router was supposed to be shipped to my home within five to seven business days.
Today, my dear friends, is March 14, 2011. Still no router, but guess what showed up?
YEPPERS, THE BILL for a month of internet. Of course, I have already paid Comcast seventy dollars for the installation and the first month of access.
So, I called Comcast. After about half an hour of trying to get through the menu to talk to someone, a very nice customer service representative informed me that since the modem was installed, my internet was working.
Um, WIRELESS INTERNET, COMCAST.
So, since the routers are backordered, and they cannot give me a definitive date for the delivery of said router, the customer service SUPERVISOR said that the only way that I could NOT have to pay for the month of March would be for me to return the modem and they would credit my money. A thirty day refund or some other kinda idiocy.
So, I informed the customer service supervisor that they were going to have to repair my brick and my interior wall where they installed the modem. THAT MORON TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD HAVE THEM DO THAT.
Holy crap!!! And I believe her!!!
Now, to add insult to injury, they also informed me that for another ONE HUNDRED FORTY-NINE DOLLARS, I could have a technician come out and hook up a wireless router. A router that I have already PAID for I might add.
Look here, Comcast, this is WIRELESS INTERNET. That means that there are NO WIRES to the computers, get it? No, I will not use a network card to hook up to your modem, no I will not pay for something that I did not receive, and YES, I will tell everyone that will listen, how idiotic this scam is.
For twenty-nine dollars ninety-nine cents ($29.99) a month, you can get NOTHING from Comcast. But, they will come out and drill through your house to install something that is useless, require you to call THROUGH quite possibly the most difficult menu ever devised, and STILL not offer you any satisfaction.
My attorney is headed out here right now to photograph and document the damage done to my house for the installation of NOTHING. Yes, I know that all you had to do was send out the stupid router, which was already on the technician's truck, but you must have wanted to repair some brick and gypsum board instead.
Great business model, Comcast, I am sure that y'all will do very well with that.
So, I guess it is back to AT&T, again. And court to get my brick fixed, too.
YAY!
UPDATE: I sent an e-mail to the address that the last Comcast person left on THIS BLOG POST.
Here's what I sent at 5:08 PM:
One of Comcast's people responded at 5:30 PM and said:
They actually signed with their name and iPhone number, so, we'll see what happens...
(At the time of the update, there have been over seventy hits on this blog from COMCAST. I hope they think that I am funny...)

Here's what I sent at 5:08 PM:
I paid seventy dollars for wireless internet on March 4, 2011. I still do not have this service, because I have yet to receive a router. But, I got another bill, today. With no satisfaction from customer service to have a wireless router delivered, I was told that Comcast would have to uninstall the modem just for me to get credited for the month of March on internet service.
I have requested that if that is the case, a technician should repair my brick and interior wall where the installation was performed. I was told this would happen on Thursday, March 17, 2011. Seriously, this is the dumbest thing that I have ever heard. That supervisor should be fired, because she is basically too stupid to be employed outside of the food service industry.
Simply send me the router and credit me for service not delivered during the month of March.
I wrote more at my blog which receives about eighty thousand hits a month HERE. (Link to this post)
I shall remove this post if Comcast offers to correct this problem by sending me the router and crediting the month of March. Otherwise, I fully expect my home to be restored to the condition before the technicians performed the install.
Thanks,
Paul Mitchell
One of Comcast's people responded at 5:30 PM and said:
Paul,
Thank you for reaching out to us and making us aware of your matter. We will review your experience with area leadership and see your concerns are addressed. You can expect a call tomorrow.
Kind Regards,
Person that is NOT a moron working at Comcast...
They actually signed with their name and iPhone number, so, we'll see what happens...

Drive-by Blogging - Google Links and a Site Update (More Comcast FAIL)
Just so y'all know, Comcast STILL has not delivered the wireless thingy, so I am still having to tether on my Droid X or lay down on the hardwood floor to plug in. Trust me when I say that I have yet to lay down on the floor. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. It has been eight days since the order was placed for wireless internet and tomorrow will be a whole week since the modem was installed. Still no router.
COMCAST FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL.
But, whatever. Anyhoo, this has given me ample time to watch traffic shift and to gauge what is going on with the Disqus commenting system and here's what I got on dat!
This is a screengrab of the address line of a click-through from Google Reader. The bottom line shows what the URL looks like when you get to the Feedburner link. The blue "C" button means "Canonical." If you click on that button, you go to the actual page of the post that you clicked through to read rather than the feed page. This is important for linking purposes, so the site or page you link gets the full amount of link juice that you can spray on it.
Therein lies the problem with Disqus. In case you do not notice, on any page that has Disqus comments, there are added characters (#axzz1GF7nn2Vq on the post below this one to recognize my user settings, yours will be different) that link to the Disqus comments that are not hosted on the blog on which they are installed.
So, Disqus adds to the canonical address of the page in order to link the place for comments.
This is notoriously BAD for link juice purposes. So, either you, as a blogger, must request that the site linking to you uses the canonical page or you lose the traffic that comes with NOT having that canonical page linked. Conundrum? Hells to the YEA-UH!!!
The saving grace to that problem is that if you FEED your blog posts to Twittah or FAILbook, with Disqus, you automatically get the links shown as a "Reaction." This is delicious for ranking. Every time you post, you automatically get two links (or more) if you are sharing that feed with your social media sites.
Plus, I love the fact that you can respond directly to each individual comment. WIN!
Not only that, but Disqus allows you to link to images in your comments with a preview. Double WIN! More link juice for everyone!
On to the stuff!!!
Google has now developed a Delicious import tool. With Yahoo running Delicious now, that might become VERY important. Enjoy.
Google also has One Pass for purchases and sales. Anything that makes buying online easier and more secure is a good thing in my book.
A couple of changes happened in Gmail this past week, too. "Smart Labels" were added. I have tried this and threw it out quickly. I get a lot of forwards and Notifications and I just do not like having those sent to different folders. You might want that if your mother is one of those folks that sends BULK e-mails to everyone. Then, you can go into the Bulk E-mail folder once a week or so and grab all of those, read through them quickly, and discard them.
The other Gmail add that IS a fine, fine addition is "Hide Read Labels." This allows you to set the folders that have unread e-mails to SHOW on the navigation bar and those that have no unread e-mails to HIDE. Good job, Google, I have been needing this since I have around 100 labels now.
Google Apps has added smart contacts. I am really looking forward to when our Profiles have all of the different sites under that one umbrella. I wish that You Tube would go ahead and let us change our user names to the same as our Profile name. Yes, new users get that option, but us "Invited" G-Mailers did not get that option once Google bought You Tube. That is why my You Tube user name is something like architect39042 or some other such nonsense.
Picasa has some pretty cool updates, too. Again, let's roll all these things under one umbrella, Google. I want my Blogger blog and Picasa to get even more cozy than they are already.
While we are talking about Blogger, here are some brand new templates that you can peruse. Yes, FREE.
At least we can now add multiple profile photos.
On the You Tube front, THEY. BE. HIRING.
Google is also claiming that Chrome is now faster, more stable, and simpler. I find that hard to believe, but what the Hell do I know? I am a Firefox Fanboi.
Alternate directions for Google Maps on Android. But, sadly, still no "Avoid Ghetto" option.
And while you are stuck in the ghetto, you have more editing options in Docs for your phone. I have never used Docs on my phone, except to open and read, but I am certain that we shall ALL be using it.
Load time problems with Digg and Facebook plug-ins? You better correct that shit or lose readers and money, yo.
Forty-Five new social media resources from Mashable. That will probably be the last time that I link Mashable unless something really big breaks over there. I just cannot deal with their Libtard philosophy anymore. Their batshit craziness over the Wisconsin stupidity sent me packing. I deleted their feed from my Reader and "Unliked" them on FAILbook. When they quit being dumbasses, maybe I'll join back up.
By the way, eighty percent (80%) of my traffic in the past week has come through image search. Think that MEANS something? Maybe that tells you that you had better put some photos on your blogs and sites?
More to come soon. Hopefully, I'll get my router TOMORROW, Comcast!!! If y'all think that I am going to pay for a week of internet that y'all did not deliver, you be dreaming, playa.

Drive-By Blogging - Obama FAILboat
Yes, we knew that Homobama was going to be a terrible President, there was never any doubt. But, did you think that there was ANYONE on Earth that could exceed Bush's 2007 deficit in the short month of February 2011?
Homobama did. Want even more, with graphics?
While Homobama and the Democrats in Congress work overtime to ruin the wealth of the planet, luckily the Religion of Peace continues to be incompetent.
And in a strange twist of events, Homobama backtracks on his military trials of Religion of Peacers. I struggled all morning long to find a single thing that Barry had as a campaign issue upon which he has delivered. Yes, the ObamaCare thingy passed, but has been declared unconstitutional. Anyone?
Do you remember why we were trying those Religion of Peacers in military trials? Yes, it was because the Muslims declared WAR on the United States.
Do you recall why we have Captain Moron as President in the first place? Yes, it is because the Party of Adults ran the McCainiac.
Iowahawk has two great posts describing the situation of public schools in Wisconsin. Post one. Post two. Take plenty of notes, math IS on the test.
After that, we need some meditation.
Late!

The Reactionary Left and the Morons that Join the "Cause"
But, Hells to the NAWS!!!
You see, "Progressives" have to display their FEELINGS first. They rarely, if ever, resort to actually thinking through things, they just immediately react from the standpoint of the victim. Oddly, most of these "Progressives" are some of the most silver-spoon-fed morons that you have ever encountered. Think Robert Kennedy Junior or Charlie Sheen. It doesn't get much more spoon-fed than that, huh?
More on Charlie Sheen, because watching him meltdown is terrible, but expected because he is a "Progressive." History does have a tendency to repeat itself, you know?
Let's attack the Charlie Sheen flip-out thingy, okay? Just keep in mind, I do not care what happens to Sheen. It is sad to see anyone display their "Progressivism" on such a huge platform, but just think about all of the morons that have done it in the past. John Kerry, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, Barry Obama, Joe FREAKING Biden, and just about everyone that is front and center in the Democrat Party.
OH! You mean that those are not Hollywood people, so they are not like Charlie Sheen? Oh, okay, how about George Clooney, Susan Sarandon, Ed Asner, Ed Begley, Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn, Rosie O'Donnell, Bill Maher, Barbra Streisand, and the list goes on and on. I almost started to add Danny Glover, but without Mel Gibson, where would Danny be?
Seriously, it is impossible to take "Progressives" seriously because never in history have their intentions ever led to good policy. Let's check out what Bill Whittle has to say in this less than ten minute video.
With that in mind, yesterday, a story ran about builders at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic site finding the remains of a slave distribution site. Since slavery is a wholly "Progressive" idea and they are all about enslaving people, what would be the proper "Progressive" reaction to the find? Of course, flip the Hell out, totally, and start demanding that white citizens of the United States start shelling out some big money!
No. That reaction does not make sense to normal people, but it is perfectly sane to the "Progressive."
How about the Orpah Network stinking up the airwaves? The proper "Progressive" reaction is FREAKING OUT because of racism. It will never occur to them that Orpah is the one that ditched soap opera television to start her own network and it is failing miserably. She thought that she was much more important than she actually is.
And finally, on HuffPo this past week, they were all up in arms about some town in Pennsylvania, that no one ever heard of, changing its name from "Intercourse" to something else. Of course, the story's lede was all about Christians and how stupid they are. Of course, HuffPo obviously has the Wiki blocked at their new AOL offices, because a cursory glance over the web finds ZERO stories about this even happening. Well, except for people linking to and quoting HuffPo.
I did a little checking on our fair town of Intercourse. Here's the Wiki.
Intercourse is a bedroom community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where the number one employer is the hospital there. See where this is going? RR Donnelley is the second largest employer in the area and they are a PRINT SHOP thingy, a dying industry. The printing business employs less than one third of the people that work at the hospital, though.
Now, if I were a JOURNALIST and this renaming story was TRUE, I would not immediately jump to the conclusion that it was the Christians wanting to change the name, I would think that it was the citizens that NEED JOBS in the Obamanomic induced DEPRESSION.
Then, I would look at the surrounding area and see what would lead businesses to relocate to my area since I am experiencing an eleven percent unemployment rate and if my people are not working, they are going to have to go where the jobs are. Plus, if my little town was built on the Amish historical sites surrounding my little town, and I was shelling out nearly one million dollars a year, in a town of barely 1500 people, to continually replace TWO CITY SIGNS, I could certainly see how renaming my town would be beneficial. That is even IF this name change is even being discussed.
But, the "Progressive" mentality is to immediately HATE G_d and all Christians. Weird, huh?
I have heard it said many times in the past that "Progressivism" is a mental disorder. I have come to the conclusion that it is a CANCER that must be eradicated from the planet in order for sane people to continue to exist.
But, enjoy your Saturday before the "Progressives" force you to "volunteer" to help the homeless on this day every week.

The Internet, On A Disc « The 401st Blow :: Thoughts On Media
The Internet, On A Disc « The 401st Blow :: Thoughts On Media: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"
This is what I need right now. Thanks, Comcast!
This is what I need right now. Thanks, Comcast!
Um, Comcast, We Got a Problem Here...
Here's how the conversation went...
Guess what the one thing is that they did not bring to hook up my wireless internet?
You guessed it, a router. That is being mailed to me. Probably Monday or Tuesday. So, now I am lying on a hardwood floor because the network cable they left with me is a full six inches long and the modem has a whopping eighteen inch cable attached to it.
So, we got off on the wrong foot, Comcast.
By the way, I am really liking the Disqus comments and yes, I know that I am the only one, too. It could be worse, they could be the FAILbook comments.
Please take the time to comment.
Me: I need to get wireless internet hooked up like right freaking now.
Her: No problem, Mr. Mitchell, I can schedule that right now. Is Friday morning between eight and ten AM good for you?
Me: Perfect, what else do you need?
Her: It shall be seventy dollars, cash or check, when the installers arive.
Me: Cool, see y'all Friday.
You guessed it, a router. That is being mailed to me. Probably Monday or Tuesday. So, now I am lying on a hardwood floor because the network cable they left with me is a full six inches long and the modem has a whopping eighteen inch cable attached to it.
So, we got off on the wrong foot, Comcast.
By the way, I am really liking the Disqus comments and yes, I know that I am the only one, too. It could be worse, they could be the FAILbook comments.

Drive-by Blogging - Back in The 'Sip
Been back in town for a week and things are shaping up to normal again. Sorry for the lack of posting, but stealing https access in my neighborhood is tough and Droid tethering doesn't support it without a monthly charge.
I'll have full access to internet tomorrow and I'll be back, y'all.
Oh, I am abandoning my current FAILbook account and moving all my posts to a new place (no politics), if you want in, just send me a link to your FAILbook or the e-mail that you signed up with and I'll add you at the new place. I'm not adding anyone that doesn't want in.
See y'all tomorrow.
