Cap'n Ken's Homespun Wisdom

Buy the Better Sex DVD at Amazon.com (see below for more sex videos) OK, there”s an uproar this evening about this 23-year-old female teacher in Florida who was busted having sex with a 14-year old student (once in her SUV while the kid”s cousin was driving around town, no less!). Is it wrong that my [...]

But I saw this in a catalog that arrived at Cap”n Ken”s place today, and I think it”s pretty cool: Yep, it”s a Swiss Army knife with a 64-meg memory stick added to the usual setup of knife, file, scissors, pen, screwdriver and LED lite. There”s just something cool about adding the 21st-century “tool” of [...]

OK, here”s one for the amateur ornithologists in the crowd. I”m on my way in to work this morning, sitting at a red light (Irwin and Auburn Aves, not that it matters) and I notice this really strange scene over on the sidewalk. Three birds of the type you often see picking around restaurant patios [...]

In celebration of my pending return to employment at an actual Internet company, I re-started my subscription to Business 2.0 tonight. It”s always been a great mag (more so before TW bought it), and I was a loyal reader in the go-go days of the Internet bubble. Their 101 Dumbest Moments in Business feature puts [...]

The U.S. government is looking for a new name for food stamps now that all of the nation”s grocery freeloaders have been switched over to “EBT” cards from the old paper coupons. Changing the name of the program, the feds say, will help “remove the stigma associated with the coupons”. In other words, let”s do [...]

Not being the most sentimental of creatures, I let the one-year anniversary of The Wisdom go unremarked upon (June 10). Until now, that is. Blogger tells me I”ve posted 286 items to The Wisdom, which gives me an average of .758 posts per day. I”m not sure if that”s a lot or a little. I [...]

OK, enough of the tease. Yes, I quit my job Friday. The important note is that I have a new job I”ve taken to replace the old job. Loyal and longtime readers of The Widsom will remember a time when I wrote about TWMBIC (The World”s Most Boring Internet Company). Then, as circumstance would have [...]

The AJC has a piece this morning saying the Mitchell Street bridge downtown has been re-opened for “lightweight vehicle” traffic. I used this bridge every afternoon on my trek home until it was abruptly closed back in January because the railroad that runs underneath it had it declared unsafe. The city has put off repairing [...]

Readers of The Wisdom love when I start getting off on anti-anti-terrorism rants. Maybe I should create a special blog just for exposing the ridiculousness of the “security” efforts in America, but I doubt many people would read it. It seems most Americans are happy to stand in 2-hour lines at the airport while “security” [...]

The wife and I came home from NashVegas last night (taking the long way through Birmingham to avoid the mud-splattered hippies leaving Bonaroo) to find an interesting thing recorded on the upstairs TiFaux. It was a 7-minute bit that fired off at 4 a.m. Sunday and was labeled something like “Recommend Dish Network and get [...]
