I’ve Been In This Business Too Long Already

Posted in Random Thoughts, Technology, Work at 09:41 am by Josh

I was just going onto Yahoo! Hotjobs to check some of our postings, when I accidentally typed in “hotmobs”. It dawned on me that this would be an excellent marketing tool for the ailing mafias of the world. Don’t ask me how the upkeep works; no doubt a civilian owes a mafioso a favor, is enlisted to start up the site, maintain it, keep it updated with all of the most current mob happenings, who’s moving up in the world, who probably has a contract on him, etc. The problem I see with this is that the up-and-comings will want the good publicity. They’ll threaten or kill the civilian – even though he’s a civilian — and then they’ll enlist their own, but the family that was attacked will probably strike back…Okay, this whole thing might get a little messy. But isn’t that what internet advertising is all about? And it just so happens I know the perfect company to serve ad campaigns to keep traffic coming through…

The Woes of Rock n’ Roll

Posted in Music, New York City, Life at 19:11 pm by Josh

I’ve been feeling a little angry lately, and I think it might have something to do with the glaring lack of quality music coming to New York this summer. George Clinton and P-funk will be around, that’s true, and I’m going to brave that ferry to see Radiohead, but otherwise things are looking a little bleak or sold-out. How did I miss Pearl Jam and The Cure? Honestly, I must be getting old. And the Eagles are playing three shows?

Currently, all that’s left is Collective Soul with Blues Traveler and Live. Who’s with me?
