Re: First Impressions of Google Wave

Daniel, I just saw your post and sent you a Google Wave invitation. It will take a few days before they invite you. Here's some information directly from Google about the Wave invitation process:

"Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could be a bit rocky at times.

Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.

Happy waving! "

That's true! Sometimes, I don't see to get that far into the process...

Re: BLOCKBUSTER Total Access policy change — eliminates due dates, limits “overclocking” the queue

Jewels, Good for you!
It's important for Blockbuster customers (and soon-to-be-ex-customers) to
express their disappointment with this service change.

Erica, I left Netflix to join Blockbuster a few years ago because I saw the
value in the return-to-store option. When I moved from an area with the
convenience of a Blockbuster store, I went back to Netflix. My only reason
for being with BB was the ability to return movies to the store, walk out
with a different one, and having another one shipped from my queue.

I agree, this was a dumb move for Blockbuster.

Thanks for commenting!

Re: Dispute over Monkey Repossession - Police Beat

Dude... That is so true. One of my coworkers pointed this monkey repossession dispute out to me and all I could do was drop my head.

Re: Guns in church bill shot down by Arkansas Senate panel

akvalley — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 09:37:08 -0000

I was talking to one of my former college roommates about this whole thing and he mentioned something out that we tend to forget about although it's a logical concept. Usually when we are in church, our backs are facing the doors. How would you stop an armed person when you did not have the split-second time to react? Especially if your first clue that there is an incident is the gunfire from the incident? The person with the carry permit trying to return fire to the shooter would have to identify correctly said shoot in the midst of pandemonium and In the close quarters of the building. And that is just part of the practical/logistical reason for not getting into this -- leave the protection services to the trained professionals. Shooting wildlife and protecting innocent lives in distress are completely different disciplines. A carry permit does not prepare you for these circumstances.

Kevin, my pleasure! I had a great three year experience working for ALLTEL around Y2K. Your site is timely and relevant. I still have a lot of friends who are working at Verizon and your site's research helps ease the transition from Verizon to whatever the future holds. Thanks!

SocialWhois has a nice implementation of auto-discovered services. My default tags (from delicious?) took me back in time a number of years. Eeek! Nonetheless, good stuff, here. Lots of potential.

I prefer "losing to myself" and "talking to myself" more than the rest. The ghost images are cool too.

Re: Can Social Networks Hurt You? | My Philly Network

akvalley — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:15:23 -0000

Can Social Networks Hurt You? Absolutely. As we leave our mark on the internet in any manner we are contributing to our autobiography for others to read at some point. The content of our autobiography may impact the opportunities we have in the future.

Your social profile can reveal details about your personality that background checks and personal references cannot -- either by design or by protections granted through privacy laws. As played out in the media, we are seeing individuals who, having disclosed information about their character, personal habits, and lifestyles through social networking sites, regret these choices.

As for me, my identity is real, my name is real. I am Anthony K. Valley. I have been googled before and I will be googled again.

Re: As Yet Untitled. | Lisa McClendon singing at Agape Temple Community...

Lisa McClendon has got to be one of the nicest Christian artists I've ever had the pleasure meeting. She's like regular people, blending in with the crowd. If you didn't know who she was, you won't know who she was.
