Another sign of a dying company. They are really getting hit by Netflix and RedBox.

WMD grant money hard at work. There was a day when this would have just said HAZMAT. At least NOFD spent their money on something that actually gets used. Happy Mardi Gras!

Toyota gas pedal fix, a "precision-cut steel reinforcement bar"

Toyota gas pedal fix, a "precision-cut steel reinforcement bar":

So they figured out a band-aid fix for the part now on to work on repairing their reputation. I still think the delays in resolving this problem were because they wanted to find the cheapest solution to “fix” your gas pedal.

NFL backs down on enforcing Who Dat claim, for now.

NFL backs down on enforcing Who Dat claim, for now. :

After some vocal political opposition to the NFL enforcing their trademark claim of the phrase “Who Dat” they have backed down on the attempt to stop local t-shirt shops from selling items with the phrase. For those of you that think this is the end of this issue it is not. Until a court returns “who dat” to the public domain the NFL can decide to start sending out letters on a whim like it did earlier in the week. Shame on the NFL and its lawyers for attempting to alienate fans in the name of profit. What is needed at this point is support from the city and the state to return the trademark to its rightful owners, the people of New Orleans.

Who Dat belongs to the people of New Orleans NOT the NFL!

Who Dat belongs to the people of New Orleans NOT the NFL!:

Intellectual property rights have now officially gone off the rail in New Orleans. To even consider that the term “Who Dat” as trademarkable is absurd at best. Oh well, as the world crumbles around intellectual property disputes and the Saints head to the Super Bowl I will wear my #whodat shirt from Storyville proudly knowing I am supporting two causes.

Graham Cracker Revelation:

After tasting home made graham crackers you will never want to go back to those crispy dry, almost stale, Honey Maid versions. The Nanaimo bars are not bad either.

Jon Gruber's Thoughts and Observations Regarding the Apple iPad

Apple iPad

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:57:29 -0600

Yesterday Apple announced the widely speculated tablet format device that they have named the iPad. However much potential this device has across various sectors (medical, education, aviation etc…) it appears that the name, not the specs, is getting the most attention. Personally I think the name fits the device, an “Internet Notepad”. Unfortunately like the iPhone it will take some time (and the actual release of the device) to convince many that this is a legitimate device that will define a new segment of mobile computing. Yes there are currently software limitations but look at the software on the 1st gen iPhone with no apps and compare it to today, big difference. Apple has done one thing no other device manufacturer has been able to do so far and that is to build platforms in slightly different flavors (iPod touch, iPhone and now ipad) that serve unique purposes but are all able to tap into the “killer app” of the app store and continually updated firmware. Do you remember ever updating the software on your Motorolla StarTac to get new features? When you buy one of these devices the expectation is that it will evolve with time. New software releases will only improve functionality of this rev 1 device.
