Product Shrinkage

April 28th, 2008 · No Comments

I heard about a thing with Cadbury Eggs, where they had gotten smaller this year. I figured it was because of the weakened U.S. dollar, and the slower economy. So my guess is that certain items, instead of increasing in price, will shrink in size.
This was evidenced at the store the other day. [...]

Microsoft + Yahoo, Delta + Northwest, Arby’s + Wendy’s!

April 25th, 2008 · No Comments

It’s time to merge. Fusion!!!
I guess since things are becoming tough, economically speaking, it makes a lot of sense to consolidate various businesses. When two companies come together in a good way, they are both stronger for it, and each can now better handle former weaknesses. Two heads are better than one.
In [...]

Unreasonable Search And Seizure Legalized

April 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

It’s hit the fan.
I read on Yahoo today that, “The Supreme Court affirmed Wednesday that police have the power to conduct searches and seize evidence, even when done during an arrest that turns out to have violated state law.”
So what this means is that cops can arrest you for any reason. Can search your [...]

We Are Living In Exciting Times

April 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Lots of change going on. If you look at things one way, we face many problems that have the potential to make things bad. But if you take a different perspective, we have a major opportunity to do some good.
I remember hearing about the Greatest Generation, great because they triumphed over incredible adversity. [...]

One Day At A Time

April 18th, 2008 · No Comments

I just realized that the “One Day At A Time” mentality could be used to accomplish far more than beating an addiction.
Well, really the first “new” application of the technique that occurred to me had to do with eating. Like someone might want to change their eating habits or pattern, but be so used [...]

Celebrity Generosity: A Bad Idea?

April 16th, 2008 · No Comments

I was thinking that there are a bunch of rich people out there who could possibly make a difference by giving most of their funds to efficient, useful causes and organizations.
But then I imagined a negative version of the scenario. Negative and perhaps common sense.
Say Angelina Jolie decides to be good to mankind, and [...]

Speed, Phase Shift, UFOs, Ghosts

April 14th, 2008 · No Comments

It just occurred to me that if you are moving really fast, it would be a terrific benefit to be able to somehow avoid crashes. This could be accomplished by some kind of phase shift, where when you move quickly, you do so on an alternate plane of reality. So you can see [...]

Eat More Earlier, Eat Less Later

April 12th, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve heard and read in numerous places that if you eat your biggest meal in the morning, your second biggest meal for lunch, and your smallest meal for dinner, things will be better for you somehow.
I also read that in some part of the world, people who live to be in their 100’s have a [...]

“Close Encounters” Was Awesome

April 10th, 2008 · No Comments

One of my favorite scenes is of the guys sitting out in the desert practically worshiping the aliens, who aren’t there, and singing the tune that we hear again at the end of the film.
Something just occurred to me. I’ve never thought this before, but it seems to make sense. At the end [...]

Big Oil And Deforestation Make Sense

April 8th, 2008 · No Comments

In a certain frame of mind.
I was wondering about the really rich guys high up in the food chain with million/billion dollar stakes in the Oil industry.
I realized that if you’re living in a selfish mindset, then it makes perfect sense to extend the reign of oil and pollution as long as possible.
Similarly, it makes [...]
