Re: ArtistData Blog - News and Updates from ArtistData

Congratulations! Sometimes services like this are overlooked as innovations because they serve a niche audience. It's great to see that this was recognized beyond the realm of the music industry, as well. It's a very beneficial service. Looking forward to even greater things in the future!

I've been using ArtistData. I might have to take a look at this to see how it compares. Wonder if it is more robust than what ArtistData currently offers?

Re: Gary Vaynerchuk - Why Facebook fan page Vanity URL’s will change the...

Good points, Gary. But for my own marketing, I've done it RIGHT (for me) since the beginning. When I first launched my Facebook page I set it up for marketing as http://richpalmer.com/facebook. Of course, marketing is only good if you do it... and I haven't. I didn't see the potential for the page until recently. So, its time to start adding it to my campaign!

As always, many thanks for all you do, Chris. These are great resources. I always seem to learn a lot from you.

Yes, this was a fun listen. Thanks for the kudos, Jack!

Re: US Army Recruiting Suicidal Teens?

richpalmer — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:53:54 -0000

Another logical choice is that they have chosen bad verbage to show that teens in distress can go to this location. Much like fire houses and other similar buildings allow for runaway teens, lost kids, kids in domestic trauma, etc. to have safe shelter.

I would think this would be a good location for a teen with some suicidal thoughts to go to be talked down (aside from an actual prevention center). The sign gives bad vibe with the choice of words, though.

Heh -- I'm sorry. I was being just a teensy bit of a dick there. I'm actually tapping this out on a G1 and, yes, rather dissapointed that mbile Disqus doesn't support me yet (and actually kinda wondering what kinda iPhone-specific hoo-ha the devs did to keep me from it: i can SEE all comments. just not act on 'em! c'mon guys - make the actions little statis buttons... links even. and you're done!)

Re: DISQUS for iPhone: Mobile comment moderation

Not bitter at all. Just disappointed that iPhone seems to be all the rave, yet there are many other phones/platforms that have been around longer. Very few people have developed apps for them -- and they seem to be an afterthought only when a new iPhone app is developed. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks for coming alongside this year Rich. Can't wait to see what's ahead for us.

Todd: I appreciate this article. It is great that you take some time to recognize that we are a community -- worldwide as it is -- contributing to each others conversation.

I thank you for being a member of my connections. We've shared some good conversations, some laughs, some insight . It's been fun so far! Have a great 2009 and I look forward to opportunities to engage in the discussions even further!

Well, hoop-de-doo.

Another iPhone app. Seems interesting that there are A LOT of us using mobile browsers that are not on the iPhone -- and that were around long before the iPhone -- yet the developers start with that platform on their apps.

Will look forward to other options when/if you do them.

You're absolutely right. But we can adapt and overcome. :D

Re: Pepsi, are you listening?

Thanks Rich for your feedback and comments about alternative soda options. :)

Re: Pepsi, are you listening?

richpalmer — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 23:59:21 -0000

I'm not a fan of Pepsi or Diet Pepsi (or most of the carbonated Pepsi and Coke brand products). Of course, I can't be. I have corn allergies. So... this fully and completely over-used ingredient in today's culture known as high fructose corn syrup gets a full thumbs down from me.

And, Diet Pepsi has Aspartame, which I personally choose not to ingest.

I favor Jones Sodas for easily obtainable soft drinks, but can only have two of their variety that I am aware: Jones Cola and Jones Root Beer. Other flavors have variants of my many food allergies that I cannot have. Sigh. I just wish Pepsi and Coke would get on the ball and offer more natural ingredients in the soft drinks, such as cane sugar (not the bleached white stuff that also causes most of us more troubles than we care to admit or are even aware exist).

My complete favorite soft drink is Virgil's Root Beer. But, it is too blasted expensive!

Re: Is Obama a Citizen? This Lawyer Says No

richpalmer — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:26:25 -0000

Interesting. Thanks for the links, Hunter. It is always good to get as much of the perspective as possible. I'm not an Obama supporter at all, but not because of this potential citizenship issue. I just don't see how he is qualified to be our Chief of Staff. I've yet to see anything valuable enough to show he is ready for this role.

Re: Ban Political Ads

richpalmer — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 12:38:34 -0000

Thanks, Caleb. This is a great reply and one that I certainly am glad to get. If you followed the thread of conversation over there you would also see that I replied to another comment from @attitude. It goes like this:

"@attitude
You know... you are absolutely right. I agree that we cannot and should not ban any speech. Excellent point. And, as a Libertarian, I absolutely believe that we all have rights and liberties that cannot and should not be oppressed. I appreciate that you brought to light.

So I'm a bit conflicted, eh? :D Of course, my typical response to any ad like this is to just turn it off or ignore it. That would certainly be the easiest approach to advise for most people. "You don't like it, don't pay attention to it."

My ire has been raised with the unfair approaches lately. The debate situation has not helped my attitude.

I wonder, though... is paid advertising "free" speech? That might be a topic for another thread.

Great counterpoint and certainly what I was hoping to see. Cheers!"

As far as the debates go... it is BROKEN. No, I don't agree that it is reasonable to say that the person with less than 15% in the polls shouldn't be given an opportunity to speak. One of the problems with the polls is that the BIG GOVERNMENT has led the public to only believe in bipartisan options. Most people are lemmings. They will jump off the cliff with the rest of the bunch because they don't know any better.

I don't follow a charismatic politician. I look at the views, the issues at hand, and the opportunity to change the status quo that we seem to be living. Electing a donkey or an elephant to the office will not change this system that everyone is crying about.

Look at the recent bailout issue. I don't think the people making the decisions EVER listened to what was being said by the populace. People were/ARE against his bailout, yet the effort from our big porker government is to still push it through.

We need better opportunities to level the playing field for everyone.

I agree, we should not, cannot ban speech. But perhaps there are better ways to put systems in place so that independent candidates do not get pushed under the rug.

As far as your comments about the celebs on the ballot. In my opinion, that's what we have with Obama. He's a political celebrity with little to no experience actually doing what he says needs to be done.

There is an official list of candidates for presidential election. This legal, official list should have been included in the debates. ALL of those persons should be given the voice. But the debate committee is made up of the bipartisan faction. Gee, wonder why they wouldn't want the independents there. Truthfully, these bipartisan candidates should have REQUIRED them to be in the debate if they felt that their positions are solid and that their view on the issues are sound.

As far as your comments on "a really good third party candidate". What constitutes "good?" I don't consider either the Dem or GOP candidates to be "good." So what is the baseline for the value? I don't vote for candidates; I vote for the issues that need to be addressed. And I've yet to have anyone be able to tell my HOW and WHY Obama can solve our nation's problems. Or McCain for that matter. I just hear the same regurgitated campaign slogans and rhetoric.

McCain is on a power trip and Obama has no executive experience. These are our choices? No, they're not... we have others. More people need to educate themselves instead of jumping into the popularity contest vote. High school homecoming kings and queens get these kind of votes. It appears that the U.S. citizenry is just following this example.

People should visit http://votesmart.org.

I do absolutely appreciate your feedback. We need more of this dialogue.

Interesting... Yes, this is a bit small in the embedded version here. I wonder if the same is true when viewing the widget on the creator's site? I obviously only shared this one for others to see; I suppose if this is an issue across the board then the originator of the widget might need to be notified.

I hadn't noticed the change when posting here.

Thanks for the comment!

Re: Fire Training

richpalmer — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:46:45 -0000

Hehe, yes.

It gave me an odd feeling of living within the book Fahrenheit 451. But, these guys trained in this house for a week. They did evolutions throughout each day, eventually planning to burn it to the ground. We sometimes (though rare) get the opportunity to use an actual house for live fire training. The park district owns this property now; they wanted the building gone.

Re: Rush Playing “Tom Sawyer” on Rock Band

richpalmer — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:55:12 -0000

I love it. Now, the question is, can a Rock Band "expert" pick up Rush's tools of trade and perform said song better? Highly unlikely.

I'm afraid that I will not be able to make NME this year. Too many travels during that same time period, it seems.
