Business Plan [Oct. 26th, 2009|11:26 am]
Does anyone know how to write a business plan? I've looked online and finding a template and instructions on what it all means has not produced anything helpful, so I figured I would check on here. Anyone have experience writing business plans?

ODST [Sep. 23rd, 2009|08:30 am]
I will give a small bit of backstory on this. I've never played Halo before. It never interested me. Seemed too popular for something that didn't seem to be worth the praise. I guess it could potentially be fun with online multiplayer, but noone ever talked much about the regular game beyond wetting themselves about some character named Master Chief. *shrug*
So I rented ODST yesterday and had stuff to do during the day, so took care of that. Then I put the game in an went to play it. The story just drops you in where I guess they are giving you some kind of starting point and everything where you are supposed to start caring about each of these characters, but it's like you pop in in the middle of a 45 minute conversation and now it's over and you have no idea what the hell they were talking about.
So they run you through some training stuff to get you used to controls and how to do things and all that, which wasn't too bad except they ask you if you want to go through it again when they are done. No, if something requires me to push a button to activate anything, just put that on the screen when the time comes like you do for normal crap like doors.
The game isn't ugly. I won't say it's shiny, but it isn't terrible graphically. They have some kind of HUG thing you can click over to to tell enemies from friendlies, but in the daytime, it completely makes the game too bright and i ended up shooting some guy on my side because I thought he was shooting at me.
Another issue I have. Who are the covenant? (please don't tell me now, i don't care) Why are they here, what is the point of them being here. The game gives you no real story of why they are there and blowing crap up....and why doesn't more stuff look like it's been blown up?
But now for my main complaint in the whole thing. The game is a series of playbacks that the main character has to make his way to (presumably by himself) to find other members of his drop team. once he finds them (presumably all of them are dead) he grabs a piece of their armor or whatever is left of them and you suddenly are reliving their last moments alive from a certain point to where they are dead now. Part of me thinks the entire game is a simulation run by someone else about the life of the last guy to be alive and you are reliving all he did and saw. I'll never know and don't even care. The problem is with the way they made this game, while "interesting" it totally removes the interest in caring about the characters. I made it to the first guy's thing and was playing through it when I started not caring. This guy is going to die, why do I care about him or anyone else I am going to be playing as? So I turned it off and returned it.

So really, not even worth the money. I don't do online multiplayer, so the game has nothing for me.

I made a sale [Aug. 26th, 2009|07:58 am]
I am dealing with a "professional" in the ticket sales world lately. Already i am sick of their 'I know best' attitude and they haven't been here long enough to understand how this city works. Guess what, you may have worked in big name places, but you haven't had to compete with the big names as a small fish. Dismissing people's ideas is not a great way to endear them to you either. I bring up an event that *gasp* she didn't know about and when I said bring the cheerleaders, I am blown off because cheerleaders take attention away from ticket sales and that is my concern. It is your concern because the owners are going to be on your ass every day looking for ticket sales for something that is over 6 months away. Guess what, you want the cheerleaders there because you are probably not going to sell dick at this event and what you would do, if you had cheerleaders there, would be to get people's information and get our information to those people. Gosh, I hate it when something I say makes absolutely no sense at all.
What really bothers me is that they don't understand, neither do the owners, that we are in a baseball town until right about when the baseball season ends. And then it is a hockey town and a slight professional football town. And guess what happens again? Baseball. I grew up here, I've seen how this town works. Before I worked for this organization, I didn't even know it existed. And because of last season's debacle of marketing and such, about 90% of this area doesn't know we exist.
The main thing is that (back to the original story) I was told today that even though I doubted we would make any season ticket sales this early in the year (doubted, I didn't say it was impossible) they made a season ticket sale. Um, where you are contacting season ticket holders from the previous year, you stand a good chance of selling something. It's called the law of averages. Hate to tell her but I could sell about 20 season tickets right now if I wanted to. I don't because I know the people and know they are waiting to see how the team goes. So hey, screw you and your sale you ignorant ass.

Thanks Microsoft! [Aug. 14th, 2009|10:01 pm]
Because of your latest update, you have effectively bricked my xbox360. My 360 red ringed and now it's useless because one, my system is a second owner system, so no warranty. Add to it that the previous owner modded it with a different disk drive (no reason for it) so Microsoft won't touch it. Not even sure what to do at this point. Save up for a new system(refurb maybe) or just sell all the games I have for it and just not have video games anymore. Any thoughts?

Organic! Yer an organic! [Aug. 14th, 2009|08:11 am]
Recently, one of our local news broadcasts did a story on organic foods. Their stance was this...

Organic foods are not all that much healthier than standard foods. That the health benefits were slightly exaggerated. You know, the only health benefits I remember hearing about were that you wouldn't be digesting pesticides and hormones and all the crap they toss in and on food during the growth process. I've never bought organic because it was supposed to have boosted nutrients, I bought it because it was supposed to be grown without the use of pesticides and whatnot.
Buncha muncha cruncha idiots.

They ain't got no alibi [Aug. 13th, 2009|04:46 pm]
I have a question. Why the hell do so many minor league and even some pro teams have U-G-L-Y they ain't got no alibi, they UGLY, mascots?
This is what I think actually goes on in meetings when a team starts thinking about a mascot.

Hey, mascots are pretty popular, just look at the Phillie Phanatic.
You're right, maybe we should get a mascot.
Yeah, but I heard they can be expensive....and then we have to hire someone to be the mascot don't we? This could get expensive.
Well, let's find out who everyone else uses and maybe we can get a discount or something. As for hiring someone, we can just put one of our interns into it, that way we don't have to pay them.
Good idea (calls around) I found out a lot of teams use this one company and they do all the work for us, we just tell them what we want and they just make it for us.

So now, months later, we have some monstrocity and it blows. But the team can't admit that, so they just go ahead with it even if it looks like shit and noone knows what the heck they are doing. Noone talks to the mascots around the league or anywhere else, they just listen to some company that doesn't really care that much how it ends up as long as they do their job. Here is my list of mascot types that should be outlawed.

1) Anything from Dave Raymond. Yeah, for all you people who know who that is, guess what. I think the costumes are unimaginative and the performers in them are forced to do things that are old and sad. I don't hate them, I just think it's unfortunate that they are stuck doing shtick.
2) Enormous heads. Ok, you have to put a helmet and whatnot in and that will make the head bigger than a human head, but when they start becoming the size of a bean bag chair, it's too much.
3) Humans. Here is the goal with a mascot. You want to embody your logo/identity. Yes, I know that some teams have names that don't lend towards anthopomorphics, but guess what, use your imagination and again, get outside friggin help. Don't just say, that would be cute or that could work. ASK SOMEONE ELSE! No more Steely McBeam, no more jet fighter pilots and all the other nonsense. Stop it, they look creepy as all hell and show no sense of effort from the designers.

I understand that it isn't just the costume, but the performer inside, but aside from team fan support, you really aren't making a positive impact.

The reason I am venting about this is because I am tired of seeing these poor excuses for organizational identities. And no, I don't hate Dave Raymond, I appreciate what he did in his time, but I just am so tired of the design.

Verizon sucks it hard. [Jul. 20th, 2009|08:30 am]
[mood | annoyed]
[music |Rockabye Baby! - Long Slow Goodbye]

I've been with these knuckleheads for over four years and this last year I guess has been filled with a bunch of BS. For who knows how long, I had a plan that was 300 minutes, which was usually enough for me, but a few times I went over my minutes, that is my bad. My problem is that at some point in the last 4+ years Verizon themselves discontinued the 300 minute plan and neglected to tell me. The plan changed to 450 for the same price $39.99 (yes, I know, pretty much a ripoff). They never changed my plan to 450 minutes. So any time I went over 300 minutes, guess what, I was being charged overage charges. The only reason I found any of this out (and would still be at 300 minutes if I hadn't) was because I saw I was over 300 minutes last month and changed the plan up to the 450 minute plan because that was *gasp* the same friggin price as my plan and gave more minutes because *gasp again* my 300 minute plan was discontinued. Then they don't explain HOW to change your plan, they just give you the option to and don't explain that if you want to avoid overages by switching plans, you have to backdate it back to the start of your billing cycle. Oh, and the best is this. They are still charging me the taxes and fees associated with the higher bill after removing the overages when I complained. Their excuse is that they already billed me for it and can't take it off, but I will get a credit on next month's bill for the difference. Ok, so I haven't paid that bill yet, I've been after you for over two weeks about this and you can remove cost from the bill itself, but not the taxes and fees that you charge....Uh huh. Makes sense to me. Basically, Verizon went out of their way to piss me off.
So at this point, I'm going to go to Best Buy and look at some new phones from a different carrier, I haven't decided which. I am thinking maybe T-mobile or Sprint.

Whobama? Obama [Jul. 14th, 2009|07:22 pm]
I hope I am not the only one tired of this near constant bombardment of information and video and email and radio and everything else from the President. I will be up front. I don't like Obama, I have never been a fan or supporter of him and I didn't vote for him.
I don't hate the guy, but I am getting tired of what I consider the "Please Like Me" syndrome vibe that I get from him. Oh, I need to go out and see the people, talk to the people, tell the people what I am doing. And every time he talks, it sounds like he is saying please like me or please like what I am doing. Look, you are the President, act like it. Do shit and if people don't like you for it, life moves on. If you have a cure for a problem, cure the problem. If you have to put a gun to a puppy's head and shoot the puppy because shooting that puppy will somehow cure the financial problems in this country, let the bullet fly. I love puppies, don't get me wrong, but frankly, I would rather have a hated and successful president than one that wants to be liked by everyone and fails.
Here's a question, where the hell is my economic stimulus check I was told I would have during the campaign? I was told by someone that it was never actually going to be a check, but it's some kind of tax thing that if you are working currently and paying taxes, you come out ahead in the long run. You know what I call that? I call it bullshit. Let's say the check I could have had was going to be 500 bucks. I could use 500 bucks. With 500 bucks, I could have contacts right now, could be a little ahead in the bank. Let's say I actually had a job right now. Let's break down 500 bucks out of a year. Ok, that is 52 weeks if I got paid weekly so a little under 10 bucks more per paycheck would be there.....Um, no. Do you know what happens when I have 10 dollars more per paycheck? I still ain't a bit ahead of where I was without that 10 dollars. What you have to realize is that a huge number of people are living paycheck to paycheck and that ten bucks might sound cool right now, but when everything else is more expensive now, and even if it weren't, that 10 bucks isn't going to get me any closer to jack squat.
But back to my problem. Obama, stop this kiss ass nonsense of trying to please people and just get to work. Stop focusing on 50 different things at once too. And if you tell me to go learn how to weatherproof one more thing, I am going to kick you in the jimmy. Oh, and unless you are a dullard, unless the advertisements are from the 40s and tell you how cool smoking is, no teenager is going to pick up a pack of smokes because some guy who died from lung cancer is sitting on a damn horse.

United We Serve...Uh huh. [Jun. 22nd, 2009|02:18 pm]
So today I get an email about something the President calls "United We Serve" which is a volunteer based initiative to get people to be more active in the community. I am guessing he was told to start this because gosh darn it, if we care about our community, we will be more proactive in maintaining.
While I have nothing against volunteer work, hell, I love to help out where I can, there is a problem. A lot of people just don't have the time or energy to be more involved. For those who have jobs, I think the goal is to work, go home, cook some dinner and see their family if they have one, otherwise, it is to friggin relax for a few minutes before they have to go to sleep and get up again. Sure, volunteering would get them up and about, doing some stuff, but how many will keep up that spirit when it eats into any relaxation time they have. Oh, and who is going to be paying for the gas that we have to use to get to these things, better yet, isn't our extra gas consumption going to screw up the whole energy problem we have too?
As for people without jobs, aren't we supposed to be out looking for work? What happens if I'm out helping build a garden for a church and some government guy comes up and asks why I am doing this in the middle of the day since I look like I'm able to work. Well you see, I was taking what the President said to heart, I'm volunteering to make this community nicer while looking for a job....Well since you aren't looking for a job, I guess you just feel you should be getting unemployment anyway.
That is my problem. Yeah, volunteering is good, but what kind of plan is it to tell people to volunteer when we can barely pay our bills with unemployment and where we are supposed to be finding jobs? Is it supposed to take my mind off the fact that I can't find a job and that the money I am getting via unemployment barely gives me enough to live on and that I don't qualify for food stamps or anything else?
How about this Obama, join me in reality where the average American is struggling to stay afloat. Oh, and where exactly is that economic stimulus check you were talking about back during election time? I'm still waiting for that.

I'm browsing. [Jun. 13th, 2009|09:40 am]
I listen to a podcast and I keep hearing complaints about how Internet Explorer has a monopoly since it is preinstalled on computers and how different browsers are upset about this. Here is the solution. Don't install any browser on their computer. Instead, just include install files for the major browsers like IE, Safari, Firefox, Opera and the one I use, Chrome. Have a little window pop up and say, hey, you don't have a browser installed, here are examples you can choose from. please install the one you want right now.
Problem solved. If you want to be included in the browser install files on these computers, you have to submit your crap to a panel of the major computer makers and they decide if you have been around long enough, have a high enough user base and so on so that we don't have every idiot who can create a browser having an install file. That would be cruddy.

Flash! [Jun. 12th, 2009|09:03 am]
I just figured out why Flash isn't on the iphlome and iplod touche!

AT&T

Do you know how much cell bandwidth would be sucked up when millions upon millions of people more have the ability to watch video anytime they want?
Yes, people can watch stuff on verizon and whatnot, but how many people are doing that when that is an extra cost? The iplome has a data plan, so they couldn't just charge extra on top of that for people watching videos on their phones? The touch doesn't have it because if the touch did (it uses wifi) have it, the phone would have to and that would crush the cell systems.

At least that is what I think. I don't blame flash or apple exactly, but I think AT&T is the main offender.

36 Hour Sale!! (MFM) [Jun. 5th, 2009|06:58 pm]
Not really, a commercial was on and I saw it and thought, wow, 36 hours worth of sale! That's almost like a day and a half worth of sale!

My real point to this post is that I am looking to fund my MFM this upcoming year via presale of product. What kind of product you ask? Why T-Shirts!
My neighbor has a heat press and is giving me access to it to create t-shirts and I wanted to get the ball rolling on this.
Here is my plan. I have access to the transfers that she has currently, which I just buy from her and make the shirt, but there are tons more that I think are pretty dang cool looking that I will be buying for this. I will be taking orders up to the Tuesday before MFM for shirt designs and then will make the shirts, wash them once in cold water and then fold them up and bring them to the convention where you will have brand new AND clean shirts that you can wear at the convention and beyond. Shirts will be $10 a piece and I will be selling shirts at the convention as well in the dealer's den. And if I cannot go to MFM for some reason, I will make 100% sure that the shirts do make it and are delivered to the appropriate individuals. If you aren't going to MFM and are interested in shirts, I will gladly mail them out for a small shipping charge depending on whatever postage it costs.
But first things first.

http://www.thewildside.com/main.php

and

http://www.springhillwholesale.com/onlinestore/results.cfm?Category=TR&subcat=ALL&refresh=yes

Are the two sites I will be going with for transfers. If you like, take a look around and let me know via email at dokino21 (at) gmail (dot) com what you found that looks good to you and we go from there. I will be posting this again in a few weeks and then a few weeks after that in order to keep visibility.

DVD Players [May. 22nd, 2009|08:05 pm]
Since BluRay is about as useful as Helen Keller at being an air traffic controller, I have some info about a particular DVD player some may like. I rip my DVDs onto the computer and I like to watch the files on the TV, so I had been just burning the files to a CD and playing them, then I thought, why not cram a handful of movies onto a DVD and play those. And that worked good. Then I thought, I can burn dual layer DVDs, so I can cram two handfulls of movies onto the DL DVD. Some DVD players won't play those. I don't know how many don't, but I did find one that plays them and plays them well. The Phillips DVP5990. It is low priced at around 60, some places sell it higher, some lower.
HDMI digital output
some kind of fancy digital conversion of picture
some kind of fancy audio thing
high quality outputs for analog and digital audio
high def jpeg viewing
plays divx ultra certified stuff
plays stuff from digital cameras
plays CD, (S)VCD, DVD, DVD+RW, DVD-RW...honestly, I am using a DVD I think + RW DL and it is working fine. I recommend this player to anyone who wants something inexpensive and is able to play all sorts of stuff.

Why does every astronaut feel the need to try and create some memorable quote during a space mission? Just shut up and do your thing up there.

Addictions [Apr. 28th, 2009|05:39 am]
Ok, apparently there is nothing else going on in the world of real importance because the news world has latched onto video games again as the bane of existence. I mean there isn't a swine flu thing going on or a drug war in mexico or hellacious unemployment or a terrible financial crisis or anything else happening because all anyone wants to talk about is video game addiction.
Here is my problem with using the word addiction. Do you want to know why people latch onto these non ingestible things in addiction form? It's because life has a habit of stomping on you and these are ways to get the hell away.
I'm not a scientist, but hell, it isn't that complicated to understand that people are just getting tired of how shitty life can be and are finding ways to not have to deal with it. This isn't healthy, but it is what it is. With gambling, you have a chance to win, maybe not a better chance than of getting laid, but with gambling, you may get something that doesn't itch and burn later on. TV works the same way, it entertains and expends time. A half hour, hour, two hours at a time, during a marathon, it could take out a whole day for you. You aren't specifically addicted to TV, you just might be tired of going to work or of having all thi responsibility dropped on you. Granted, if you watch "reality" TV, you are addicted and need psychological help and probably need to be set on fire.
I would like to pull someone aside that talks about American Idol with coworkers all the time and ask them if that is all they really think about, if there are other things on their mind, what is taking up most of their think time. Because they can't really be consumed with piss poor kereoke'rs butchering music....can they?
But back to video games. I don't think they are inheriently addictive. I don't think TV is or gambling is. I think they are something that are accessible and can form a focus for someone. I have an xbox360. *point* and I am unemployed. I am not plopped down playing it all day. I certainly could be, but I need to find job, I have to keep my place clean, I have to take showers and whatnot. Sure, I wouldn't mind playing.....Sorry about that, had to go play video games....Oh crap, I just wasted 4 hours! Just kidding kiddies. A lot of what draws people into video games is a sense of accomplishment, which because of the depth of games today, can take tens to hundreds of hours to complete. That is why the games that are most time consuming are roleplaying games. It isn't because they are necesarilly the greatest games, but because to beat them, you have to take hours upon hours to level up and collect crap and all that, just to get to the end. It isn't like racing games or FPS or sports games where levels and individual games and races come in shorter bursts where you can play a game of baseball and you win, you lose, but that game is over, so you can just wander off to eat.
So with RPG's, the sense of accomplishment tends to take a bit longer to happen, sure there are battles and whatnot and you win them, but it is a journey to get something bigger.
The key here is that self control is kinda important. Put the control down, put the sandwich down, go outside, go to work, go to school, take care of your life. I know it can be a downer, but seriously, if you put on a diaper to get ready to do something, you might wanna take a step back and check if you are 70 or not, because little babies and old people who can't control their bowels are the main people who should be wearing diapers. Maybe nascar drivers, people in the iditerod, astronauts, idiots doing that dakkar rally thing, diaper testers, incontinent dogs and....taxi drivers can wear diapers, but someone gearing up to play a video game....not so much.
Now if you don't mind, I am going to go play star ocean for 13 hours straight....or I would if I didn't need to find a job, play hockey, do a little mascot work and whatnot. And if you are wondering why I am up so early, it is because a neighbor has his alarm clock pointing it my side window and blaring radio talk at 5:30 in the friggin morning and they were talking about video game addiction. And to make a statement of someone being a ass, one of the guys on the radio show admitted to playing drakes fortune for like 14 hours yesterday. First of all, shut up, you probably suck and keep getting killed, and second, shut up, noone cares about you. You are a slackmonkey.

Dude, I got DELL'd [Apr. 1st, 2009|07:29 pm]
I come to you today asking for your help. As some may know, I am currently unemployed (I know, big deal, a lot of people are) and have been for over 6 months.
I have actually been making some progress on my debts even through this time and finished paying off one of the debts completely in March. Thing is, my student loans went out of deferment at the same time, so I essentially just traded debt. Those two loans will be paid on for years to come. They aren't why I am asking for help.
DELL
That is why I am asking for help, any help. I bought a dell in late November of 2004 and then a laptop the next year because I was going to school and a laptop sounded like a good thing. I had made progress paying on the dell loan until they held all the interest on the laptop for 6 months and then spit it at me all at once. So they effectively put me further back then I had been.
So I am paying on things and then I notice, I'm getting charged 27.99% interest. So basically, after 4/5 years, I am actually in worse shape than I was when the loan was brand new. I asked them if they could lower my interest rate, close my account out completely since I had already paid for my stuff twice over and was told two things. no, we can't lower your interest rate and that if I want to close my account out I can pay more than the minimum due per month. Ok, how is that not common sense? I explained to you I am having trouble paying the bill as it is, so how am I supposed to pay extra?
So I am asking for any help I can get in order to pay this debt off. I would hugely appreciate any help.
If you have paypal and would be able to help, the email address is dokino21 (at) gmail dot com.

No Attention [Mar. 27th, 2009|11:24 am]
I was out yesterday and talking to someone I know about mascots. Now I have nothing against anyone who is a mascot, after all, I am one. I made the statement that I do not crave attention while doing the job and was told over and over again that I was full of it and that I loved the attention and that was a big reason I like being a mascot. And no matter what I said, I was just full of it.
What bothered me was that this isn't just in being a mascot, but in any occupation in which you might be visible to others or are involved in a job that comes with any kind of power. You must like hearing your own voice and having attention and so on if you are a radio DJ. You must have a complex if you are a doctor. You must have a huge ego if you are an elected official. You know, they are right, there are people who do get off on the attention and power, but making blanket statements or assuming that everyone in any given career choice has some psychological need that is deeper than they let on is hugely short sighted.
Here is why I like being a mascot. I like being silly and playing with people (not jerk play, just messing around, interacting) and maybe making someone happy or changing a bad day to one that isn't quite as bad. At a game, the reason I am trying to get everyone's attention during breaks in play is because that is my JOB, frankly, if I don't have to do that a lot, I am more than happy to be interacting on a more one on one basis with the people at the game or event. I have sat for a good chunk of time playing with a child and not been flailing my arms and legs for attention because I felt it was more important to be playing with that child than being the center of attention.
When I am out and about, if I am interacting with someone, my focus isn't on the greater picture, it is on that someone I am with.
I will give an example. I was giving a handshake to an old lady and she started swinging my arm side to side, so I acted like she was flipping me and flipped to the side as if she did. I didn't do it to get people to look at me, but to get a laugh out of the old lady. If others noticed and got a kick out of it, that's great, I like making people laugh, but I didn't do it do get people to notice me.
So frankly, it hurt my feelings that I was labeled as an attention starved person that did mascot work for that reason since I don't get attention in my everyday life.

As a side note. Yes, I am sure there are a number of mascots who need their egos stroked, to have the attention to feel a little better about themselves. If that is how they get to feeling better, so be it.

I am not one of them.
