Gianni, Thanks. :) I go past it a lot, but never had a need to stop in. Why do you find Technology Frighting? I find some of the uses of it, and the people that use it to be more frightening then the tools themselves. I think that the more one understands the tool(s) the less frighting they should be. ? Consider a Gun or Bow and Arrow. In the hands of the right people, you're happy that they've got them, in the wrong people using them the wrong way, it IS scary.

Lester, I've used them, a couple of times, and really, what I find wrong with QR codes or any bar code for that matter is that I'm not really motivated to find out what they say. That's why I put what it WAS, The QR Code, and the link to what it goes to. I've got some ideas on how they could be put to use, but that'll go for another post if I get around to it, or maybe a Podcast.

Oh yea. I think Google Maps is where some of the "Web 2.0" stuff was made use of first, or at least it was where I had a internet speed fast enough that having gizemos online didn't slow things down to a crawl. :)

Mapquest WAS and IS still horrid. :)

2011-02-07T10:02:56.146-05:00

Boy, you're not kidding about how bad Mapquest was! I remember using it over ten years ago and no matter where I wanted to go, it ALWAYS said to "Get on I-90 East, get off at W.117th go south to Bellaire and get on I-71..."

It was crazy! I wanted to get to a seminar at the Zoo and following Mapquest instructions, it took me 45 minutes and all over the place. I found out later I could take Lorain to Denison to Wildlife Drive and be there in 10 minutes!

Thank the lord for Google maps...

Mouse, I'm sorta new to the Lakewood Area, so I still find many things intriguing.. :) And thanks for the BlogRoll Addition. I think that I'll have to return the favor. (note to self, don't forget to create a blog roll)... As it is, I've gotta roll, so no computer time for me tonight.

I think that you covered most of it right there. It's always good to be able to use the points off of the card like an ATM Debit card, rather then having to go to a machine, print up a $5.00 or $10.00 coupon.

Hi Randy!

First of all, I love that you’re back to doing podcasts! I especially liked the latest post about the metric clocks and calendars – honestly, do we need February and August?

I know you don’t post too much on the trucking industry, but I thought you might be interested in some new changes that Pilot and Flying J Travel Centers are currently undertaking.

I want to introduce you to a new program from Pilot Flying J, the Frequent Fueler Advantage, an enhanced loyalty program for professional drivers and RV customers. Frequent Fueler Advantage will allow professional drivers to instantly accrue and redeem loyalty points in all participating Pilot and Flying J travel centers, travel plazas and restaurants across the U.S. and Canada. Added benefits of the new program for professional drivers include extended shower expirations for loyal customers, shower credits for expeditors and in-store rewards.

I know that a lot of your readers are fellow trucking professionals so I wanted to reach out to you to see if you would be interested in learning more about the Frequent Fueler Advantage and writing an article about them? What do you think?

For more information, please see the online press release at http://www.pitchengine.com/pitch/114722/. Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Thanks,
Kelly

Hello Jess,

Thank you for your interest and your recent resume submission. My name is Travis and
I am the Human Resource Manager that is in charge of the hiring process for our company
ELD Property Management. I've look over your application and due to the high amount of
replies that we've gotten regarding our recent classifieds posting, I wanted to contact
you as soon as possible and see if you would be interested in setting up an interview with us.

Before I continue let me tell you some background information about ELD Property Management:
We are an established Rental Company that was founded back in 1984 and we've grown immensely
since then. Unlike other rental companies, we hope to foster a fun yet efficient environment
for our employees since we have the firm belief that if we provide our employees with a
welcoming work atmosphere we will see an increased return in productivity. Candidates should
consider themselves self-starters and be able to work efficiently with minimum supervision. Other
skills like great interaction with employees of all levels of the firm, strong communication
skills, organization skills etc. are also valued very highly.

Our company aims to build a strong bond with its employees and therefore we offer benefits
packages for you and your family plus we thrive to pay our employees a higher hourly wage than
any of our competitors. We will be discussing compensation and benefits a little bit more in
detail during our interview when we are in a more private environment instead of public emails.

Now due to our policies I will not be able to schedule an interview with you until you have
filled out one of our online applications which can be found on our company website.
Please visit http://eldmanagement.com/application/ and fill out our short application so we can move on
with the interview process. Each applicant is required to have a personal application code
in order to fill the application.

Your code is: 8fQeDxP60a

Since we have received such a high number of replies to our job posting I will only be able to
hold your application on my desk for 1-2 days more so please do not wait too long to fill out
our online application! I will contact you as soon as I receive your online application!

Now if you have any questions please feel free to contact me!
Hoping to see you here for an interview soon,

Travis
Human Resource Manager
ELD Property Management

I'd pick Internet over cable any day. Most of the shows I can watch on Hulu and elsewhere, but I have more fun just hanging out on the intertubez. :-)
