Patrick Dempsey, currently on the excellent Grey’s Anatomy television show, is on People’s 2005 Sexiest Man Alive list. I must say he’s come a long, long way from his days of Can’t Buy Me Love.

Just finished talking about passing your work on to others, now I’m getting slammed for doing someone else’s work that was assigned to me. Where’s the sense in that?

I wasn’t the first, second, or third choice for this responsibility. Heck, I don’t even have a background in this subject area and even after explaining that fact, I was given the duty. Trying to get the parties involved that is supposed to be doing this duty is crazy since no one wants it.

Good thing I’m too tired to be upset at these stupid mothers and fathers.

Yep, work’s been busy this week. Is this a good thing or bad thing? Who knows? Some of it is good, but again some of this busy work is doing stuff that others should/could be doing. You know how it is. Yeah, I’m all for helping out fellow workers and team members, but there is a fine line of passing your work and responsibilities on to others. This line’s been crossed several times recently, but nothing ever happens to these individuals.

I miss those days working on the H-queue blackjack project as a team.

Gotta say that after spending some time interacting with our big boss, I’ve learned that he’s a pretty good dude. Has the right intentions and wants to do the right things. As part of Senior Management Leadership, this is pretty refreshing to see.

Hopefully his beliefs carry over into the workplace.

A few good blogging articles hit the Net today.

• Tips for the Small Business Blogger – how small businesses can use blogs to their advantage
• Ten Blogging Hacks – blogging tips
• Getting Started with RSS – great intro to RSS and comparison of aggregators. I use NetNewsWire Lite.
• Blog Software Smackdown – compares Movable Type, WordPress, and Textpattern. Good to remember when wanting to start something.

Google just announced its free Analytics service to track and measure web site traffic metrics. Currently, I use the free Site Meter service but may have to check out Google’s offering. Google’s stuff tends to be pretty cool even if it’s the new kid on the block.

Also, I may need Google’s supercomputing capacity to track Pulpconnection’s whopping 12 hits per day.

Update: Whoa! Analytics is way cool and way too powerful for my needs. I used my Blogger/Gmail account name to sign up for the free service. Pasted the javascript code into my site’s template and Analytics did a check to see if I did everything right. Initially, Analytics needs a few hours to collect and build your metrics reports. What a number of reports there are! Executive, marketer, and Webmaster views are available, each with its own set of reports.

Can’t wait until Analytics really tells me that Pulpconnection gets a million hits per day!

Remember those guys singing about Me, Myself, and I? De La Soul inspired their own Nike Dunk design. In a lemony fresh low top and a way-out-there high top. I’ll pass on both but would go with the low top.

What’s a darknet? According to CIO.com:

These private, invitation-only networks can be invisible to even state-of-the-art sleuthing… group of individuals who have a covert, dispersed communication channel… creating a private connection that’s unlikely to be detected.

Learned my Internet lesson for the day.
