OK, let's think about this:Santa gives presents to good little boys and girls and leaves lumps of coal for the bad little boys and girls. But look at the configuration of the sleigh-- a well proportioned seat for the ample girthed Santa to ride in; a place for a big bag of toys. Where the heck does he keep the coal? He makes a list and marks it with who is naughty or nice -- suggesting

In August I found myself in the small manufacturing town of Emmaboda Sweden. The place we were staying was a Spanish/Mexican themed hotel named the Hotell Amigo. While the hotel itself was nice, there were a few things that just struck me as odd. Such as this: a pedestal with a snare drum on it. No label, no explanation, no nothin'. Just a drum. Maybe it's just a Swedish thing.

On Tuesday, May 10, 2011, a close friend passed away unexpectedly. Omar Ahmad was Mayor of San Carlos, CA when he suffered the heart attack that ended his whirlwind career spanning both high technology innovation and public service. Omar was a serial entrepreneur with a number of successful company launches to his credit. I had the privilege of being involved with several of them. Omar had a

On a recent business trip, I was passing through the Amtrak station in Wilmington, Delaware. As you can tell, the station is undergoing a major facelift. Hopefully, the budget allows for clock repair as I noticed that the two faces of the clock in the tower showed different times. The correct time when this picture was taken was 2:35PM.

Getting a recommendation from Rock Bottom BBS is like getting a kiss from your 90 year old great aunt -- it doesn't make your day and it's not something you'll tell your friends about. However, I have got to recommend -- nay, require -- all you fabulous readers out there to go to The Mike O'Meara Show website. It's available as a podcast through iTunes. Mike O'Meara is the "Mike" part of the

I was in Ellicott City, MD (outside Baltimore) last weekend to see what antiques looked like in the rain. (They looked wet). I went by a shop window with a wonderful display of a veritable fairyland with nymphs and castles and dragons and witches-- and the Bromo Seltzer Tower.

I was driving home from Rehobeth Beach, Delaware recently. When I stopped at this light I was excited by the prospect of what would happen when the light turned green. I was very disappointed.

Last week I went to a function at Rehobeth Beach, Delaware. In roaming around the shops by the boardwalk, I came across this store that had baby dolls painted in unusual colors and designs. Click on the image to get a better view. I guess they were supposed to look like Anne Geddes designs, but they didn't quite hit the mark. These just look creepy and weird. They're painted, naked baby dolls

Think about this when you read about the news coverage of the bailout of the financial sector, the incoming administration, or even just your employers plans for the new year...There was a professor my senior year in college who made a profound impact on the way I think. He would show how mathematical analyses could be fundamentally flawed, how inadequately tested theories would be put forth and

OK, folks, I've been on the road a lot this year and have been spending a lot of time in restaurants. So, entrepreneur that I am, it gives me ideas for what I'd do if I ran a restaurant! Here are some more ideas for themes for restaurants:Darwin's Deli -- "Adapt and dine! Or die..."Based on the idea of competition for scarce resources-- No individual seating-- everyone sits in groups. Only a

It is all too tempting to define a "Superpower" as the one with the mightiest military or the most robust economy, but that misses the mark. The greatest superpower is the one which provides the ultimate quality of life to its citizens. It's the one that can fuse advanced technology with the basic needs of the common man and provide a product or service that transforms mundane, day-to-day

You can read all the political insider crap you want, but I think the media and political pundits are largely ignoring the real problem with the Bush Administration. Whether you are for or against the war in Iraq, whether you are for or against the administration's immigrant policies, whether you are for or against No Child Left Behind, The Patriot Act or any other program for that matter, the

So, 2005 was, indeed, a strange year with political intrigue, civil unrest, scandal, human misery and wild weather phenomena. We're almost a quarter through 2006 and we've probably got a good handle on where things are going. So let me take this opportunity tomake aquick assessment of what's really happening out there...-- Natural Disasters - Historically, weather patterns follow a number of

The New Year always brings thoughts of new beginnings-- and we thought we'd help by offering some ideas for all you entrepreneurs out there. If you actually try to implement one of these and they take off, we demand a percentage!The Clam Slamwich - the first "Full contact" lunch entree.The PestoPistol - uses the tried and true "shot from guns" technology to infuse *anything* with pesto good ness.

While Rock Bottom BBS has never been a bastion of truth and enlightenment, it does have a rich history that most people don't realize. The domain name "rockbottom.org" is one of the oldest continually operating domains on the Internet. It was originally registered in 1992, before a lot of people were even aware of the Internet. At that point in time, Rock Bottom was an honest-to-God, multi-node,
