What the hey? I agree, punishing kids is probably not a great way to go. Who knows, maybe the punishment was strong as well. But this kid needed some "grounding". What the heck was this judge, er...thinking?
Let's see if we ever hear about the appeal process.
Enjoy your Saturday....

Jigsaw is so very funny ... :)
So, I open up my email today morning and Jigsaw sends me a WEBINAR invitation with the title "Take care of your customers or someone else will".
So funny, ha ha.
A few weeks ago, they sent me a survey. Being the oh, so diligent survey filler I am, I filled their survey.
I had some suggestions to make for their survey.
I contacted their support team with regards to it.
My email to the survey-send address bounced.
I duly forwarded that also to their support.
Never heard back!!!
Follow what you preach...or not, eh?!

Dr. Becker is back....on USA!
Dr. Becker with his arrogance, annoyance and idiocies and everything else, as portrayed by Ted Danson is that little guy inside of all of us trying to yell out at all those silly things that happen around us. Of course, it would be impertinent and impolite for us to do it in the "real world".
The worst thing to do would be to be "polite" but rude and condescending in reality. These weasels are the people I hate the most. Their lives are so false and meaningless....
In comparison, if it were possible, I truly believe we would all like to be a bit like Dr. Becker.
Hide the kindness, bring out what you truly feel and don't act like you have something stuck up somewhere where it doesn't belong...
Plus, the show is so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the internet good, bad, awkard or evil?
What a week it has been!!! The Craigslist activities section suddenly seemed to pay off quite well.
I actually joined a group called "The Internet is an awkward social tool".
Never to fret away from signing up for anything weird, I signed up a month ago and even forgot what it was all about and showed up at a cafe to find out it was a delightful new attempt at games night.
Then, I flummoxed around Colorado, desperately seeking and connecting to the interweb - aptly described a Luddite Senator as a set of interconnected tubes...
Later, I found myself in Denver, Colorado connecting to the net free again...
While the internet has offered a lot of delightful experiences, elsewhere, on the same subject, I have acted like Peter Griffin when he pisses off a whole (Southern) town about the civil war..
But hey, why care? The internet works, right? And it makes you happy. So why not defend it?
Just random thoughts...

Keeping it professional - for your own sake, do not question people's basic intelligence
It is not often that I do personal blogging anymore. Now most of it is about biotechnology or medical devices. But today I am peeved and that makes it ideal to write something personal.
I love arguing. I love the law. Even in school, people always thought I should be a lawyer.
So, I used to get into long drawn, pointless arguments as well as pointed arguments.
Over the years, I have found it easy to agree and move on, when I realized people are never going to change beyond a point.
Very recently, I was trying to present my viewpoints and two people I was exchanging emails with started questioning my basic intelligence.
Though I found it humorous, I also found out that they were leaving a long bread crumb trail of how they deal with issues online...for anyone who wants some good career advice...don't condescend!!!!!!!!!!
That is almost the most banal, unprofessional sentiment to express. Enemies cannot be made quicker...!

A very inspiring and interesting video about girls affected by HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe...
[Click on title to watch the video]
And if that video doesn't move you....read this:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michealene-cristini-risley/gratitude-musings-after-_b_62791.html
While we have worked extensively on AIDS patients in India, I was shocked to watch this video and read about the cultural myths in Zimbabwe. Too often, we take democracy lightly. We don't pay attention to the blessings we receive to live in a society like India.
Though there is a lot of stigma, you can still help these folks in a country like India. I am not saying things are necessarily easy, what with idiotic parents preventing innocent children with AIDS from attending schools.
However, it is not as bad as things are in Zimbabwe.
Goes to prove that real non profit work is so different from "arm-chair" non profit work!
It is disheartening to see all this going on in Zimbabwe, however, it is also heartening to see people struggling to let the world know about it!!
It is time to be inspired by such efforts!!!
Pass this on...

"Do not put child in the bag" - This is what the world is coming to...
What has the world come to? These warnings choked me up - with laughter for a change!
Do companies even realize what they are doing when they are designing these labels? Yeah, sure blame the lawyers..they are the reason why your sense of sanity took a really long hike....

And, if you shed a tear or two, it doesn't hurt either...

Posting after a long time - Bloggers' Rights!
[Click on the title of the blog for the link to the external article]
----
This portion of the blog is verbatim from my own medical devices blog - http://chaaraka.blogspot.com/
Thanks to Tim Oey [ http://oeyweb.com/timoey/ ] for the link to the story.
This post is Off-Topic only in one sense.
As bloggers, we often tend to write about companies and sometimes if not all times in negative light.
I have very little respect for "Professional Bloggers", especially in Medical Devices who just rehash news articles and try to write nice things about everyone - a true betrayal to journalism.
We all have our right to our opinions and our ability to express them.
As such, I have not written anything overtly controversial yet, and have not been harmed in any way, but should such a time arise, I would like to see my rights protected. Wouldn't you?!
Anyway, just go to the link and read about how BidZirk tried to harass Philip J. Smith, a blogger and lost.This should be lasting proof to any of those in doubt.
Remember to defend your rights, otherwise they will be taken away from you, one way or the other!Good Luck Bloggin'!
