Lifelong SU Fan Has Had Enough

I've lived in the Syracuse area my whole life and have been a SU fan as long as I can remember.  But I'm about done with money ruling everything regarding a college that is supposedly a not-for-profit institution.  I will post a link to 2 different articles, you will get the reason I'm annoyed once you see them...

How Can We Tell?

Weather forecasting has supposedly gotten more accurate since I was a teenager.  But that isn't what I'm seeing, and honestly, I've had enough of being told that "it will" then seeing it not even come close.  And the worst part is that a lot of businesses are reacting based on these weather forecasters being so assertive about it will happen.

Can We Stop Letting Silicon Valley Make Our Decisions?

I really like technology and all that comes with it.  But what's really starting to get on my nerves is how every technology reporter seems to fall for all the BS that the tech giants in California are deciding is best for us.  What's set me off this today is an episode of TWiT (This Week in Tech) on the network named after the show.  Before you click the link to that, it's a long episode at 2 hours and 20 minutes and I don't really have timestamps for my complaints.  Hit the break and you'll see what I'm talking about...

Holiday Get Togethers

Today's problem is how people see the holidays now versus what it used to be.  What makes it worse is when people pretend they know what is the best way to spend Christmas when in all reality, they are completely clueless.  Hit the link to find out what I mean...

Two in a Row, and It's not Fake!

This should be a bit quicker than last night's.  Fake news has been the talk of the internet and news coverage.  But this article has really pushed my button.  It's become almost a buzz phrase now to and it's getting annoying.

It's not as Wonderful as They Claim

I just don't get why everyone seems to think electric vehicles are going to save the world.  There are a lot of issues that seem to be ignored because it's still easier to ignore all the facts just to appear like their interests lie with what's best for the world.  The truth is though, they really only care about their bottom line...

Are Smart Devices Worth the Hassell?

Every where you turn, "smarts" are being added to devices.  You name something and I can guarantee that someone is attempting cram extra crap into it fit into the smart thing category.  Is this really the direction that we need to go?

She Did What?

I think I've stated before that I do a lot of my shopping at Walmart.  It's close and the prices are better for most items than other grocery stores around here.  That does leave me dealing with a lot of real boneheads.  Hit the link to find out what this idiot did...

Is there a trend starting?

Most people can probably guess based on the title of this blog, but I'm no social butterfly.  But recently I've noticed a trend regarding social networking.  If you haven't figured it out yet, this isn't a typical rant that you'd find on my blog.  But I may begin using this for things beyond just complaining.  Hit the link for a first sample...

Where's the Outcry?

By now, most everyone has heard about the gorilla that was put down because a boy got into it's exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo.  And, as that article states, there has been a lot of outrage over the animal being shot and a lot of blame on the mother.  Have you heard about the more recent animal attack?  So what do I have to complain about?  Click the link to find out...
