Kanye Can’t Take the Heat

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Kanye West took his sweet time making an announcement about his big - I mean really big - bad judgement and poor form at the Bonaroo Festival. He came out today with a rant against his fans.

His ego is really out of place at a Woodstock type of gathering like Bonaroo, and I doubt he’ll be allowed back there any time soon. His prima donna attitude about his stage set and show turned out to be his own downfall. He wanted the show to be seen in the dark of night so all his expensive special effects wouldn’t be wasted on a twilight crowd. So they moved his show back to follow the evening’s true headliner act. The problem was that the headliner act was so well received that they played a longer set than scheduled. Then there was a huge delay in breaking down their set and putting up Kanye’s. Then, for inexplicable reasons other than perhaps ego, Kanyes keep the crowd waiting an extra hour longer before he graced the stage. At this point,  more than 7 hours later than the announced show time, his fans were sick of waiting. And Kanye  had plenty of opportunity to  explain or apologize, but he did neither. And the crowd rightfully boo’d.

Higher prices

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Not only has the price of gas gone out of the roof the price of items we buy at the grocery stores is rising too. I bought a package of coffee yesterday and it has went up 2 dollars in the last couple of weeks. I can see no end to the rise in prices of gas and groceries, I just hope the companies that employee people see that they will need to pay their employees more than what they are getting now. The simple cost of driving to work is making some people stay home because they can not afford to drive to work.

HP 1020

Monday, May 5th, 2008

I have used a Hewlett-Packard 1020 printer since they came on the market several years ago. Much to my dismay I found out today that they have discontinued making this fine printer. I am not sure what I will do when mine wears out, I like the way it works it is pretty efficient on ink, the ink cartridges are a bit expensive but by getting them refilled it is not so bad. It never fails I start to like a product and it is discontinued.
