OK, so I woke this morning, and it was -22 degrees with windchill. ARE YOU KIDDING????

And Pittsburgh did not get the worst of it. I hear it gets worse by -10 to -40 degrees below.

I step out the house this morning to warm up the car. At first, seems like no big deal. Then as I am running around the car scraping ice off, the burning sting sets in.

I run back inside for shelter. saved.....

right.

Next time, I get all my warm gear back...

Posted January 16th, 2009 at 06:46 PM by mknutson
I have been an Metallica fan since 1985 when a band mate, taught me 'Seek and Destroy' that I never heard before then. The same year I saw Metallica for the 'Ride the lightening' tour in Houston Texas. This was my 3rd or fourth concert ever. Iron Maiden was my first concert btw... :-O

American cars in the future...

Posted January 12th, 2009 at 07:05 PM by mknutson
So I am watching CNBC about an interview with the CEO of GM. They talk about "It is not easy to restructure a company that has been around for 100 years, in just 10 years".... Are you F***ing kidding me? Seriously!

I have been in the IT industry for 19 years and have restructured at least 5 times in that term.

Look at Trump, Virgin Airlines, Bank of America.

I am so fed-up with million dollar CEO's talking shit about how "I can change, I can change!"... Wait...

Steelers fans..

I saw a quote many years back comparing the homosexual community in San Francisco to the Obsessive Steelers fans of Pittsburgh.

The quote was "Steelers fans can be compared to a heterosexual San Francisco.".

Today, on the 'United Way' Friday, I had a glimpse. I noticed that one in ten persons wore a Steelers shirt for their casual Friday dress. Now out of about 3,500 employees, that was quite proponent.

I just thought it was un-mistakable, the overwhelming...

Stairs or elevator?

Posted January 8th, 2009 at 04:08 PM by mknutson
I have been living in SF since 1990. I just recently moved to Pittsburgh PA for a 6-month contract.

The first thing I noticed was, in general, a tendency to be lazy by most people. The most prominent example was the reason for this post in the first place.

I work at a 3 story building. There is a large lobby and there are stairs in the center of the lobby. Quick obtrusive actually. I have to walk another 10 steps to get to the elevator to get up to another level. I work...
