7/31/2009 - Yay! Tempest is on tour!

Wait, I've never heard of Tempest, the "globally-renowned hybrid of high-energy folk rock fusing Irish reels, Scottish ballads, Norwegian influences and other world music elements." Wow, sounds like they are just too lazy or dumb to pick one thing and stick with a plan.

Usual crap message follows:

Me again - you know how I LOVE the disclaimers (in red) at the end of these messages. The Central Bank of Ireland owns this message, and I should delete it now. I am doing something that is "STRICTLY PROHIBITED"! Oh my! What are they going to do, have me deported to Ireland, then make me peel potatoes and listen to U2 music as punishment?

Ok, I replied to my new Indian (dot, not feather) friend, inquiring as to why I was put on the list, and demanding to be removed at once. Got the response below, and they did not remove me from the list.

7/21/2009 - Indian Mailing List

Look, someone signed me up for an Indian (dot, not feather) mailing list. WTF? I don't care if this guy is going to India. Unless he is giving me part of the $2M he says he has to distribute to charity. I could use a donation like that about now.

Folks,

Today July 21, 2009 around 10:34 I had a call from Delhi. I returned the call around 10:40 and conditionally accepted a position in HP with a final acceptance in the first week of September 2009. The assignment is a great challenge. Try developing 15,000 acres!

CU has been good but I have learned nothing over the year and half I have been here. In the next 6 months I will have completed all that I have to offer and structure the manner in which the $2M grant will be spent. So, in the first quarter of 2010 I will relocate.

Between now and the first quarter of 2010, I will complete the difficult task of obtaining State permits for the Berkeley Heights property. I may have time to execute the conditions of the permit. Options there after are to build and rent or sell. Unless I hear of any serious interest from any one of you, I will decide on whatevr suits me.

Please plan accordingly and let me know if you need anything done while I am here.

7/14/2009 - Someone Found A Hotel

One of my favorite kinds of messages in one where they don't provide a link to what they are referring to in the message. I think I found the hotel by searching Google. Overpriced, over fancy. How much time are you really going to spend in the hotel room, especially in a place like San Francisco? In fact, I was recently there, and stayed in a very nice Sheraton Hotel in the Fisherman's Warf district, it was great. I replied back to them, recommending this hotel.

Rooms start at 140 a night and on hotels.com it's ranked up there with the st Regis and four seasons. Clifton is the other choice at 179 a night, or the Hilton for 99 a night, all by union square.
