Mitch's Blog

Back on February 28th, I wrote a blog entry on a columnist for Asian Week and his article entitled “Why I Hate Blacks”. At that time, I also inserted my name in an online petition to get this guy fired (no, I’m not saying his name again). I rarely sign petitions, but this one just [...]

On Monday, in another forum, I presented this video as something that was motivational. Basically, it’s a video of a football coach showing one of his players that he could push himself more than he might have ever imagined with the right, well, motivation. The posting of the video link got all positive reviews initially. [...]

Well, I picked up this interesting tidbit on Tom McMahon’s blog, which seems to indicate that Pepsi hasn’t been getting its props on opening the world of marketing to minorities.

I was reading something on an online networking site that said every day one should contact at least 5 people within their sphere of influence that they don’t see every day, just to keep in touch, without asking for anything. I had to think about that one for a bit because, on the surface, I [...]

My wife has been out of town this entire week. Two weekends before, she was out of town for four days; this time it’ll be eight in total. Over that long weekend she was gone, I didn’t know how to take care of myself, and it was somewhat embarrassing. My wife does a lot of [...]

I have a friend that just had a business contract go badly and end abruptly. When she asked what the problem was, she couldn’t get a straight answer from the people other than to say they weren’t happy with the direction things were going. At the same time, even though she was upset at how [...]

I can’t believe the amount of spam (and I don’t mean the lunch meat) that’s been coming through lately. What’s even more interesting is the amount of spam that’s trying to come through. For my email, I use a program called Mailwasher. What it does is checks email while it’s still on the server, before [...]
