Haha1 I was part of the B&T crowd for years. Now I'm simply part of the barnyard and trail crowd, here in the rural mists.

Please Mary I think it's speaks well of yourself that you don't know the term, it means Bridge and Tunnel Crowd, I'm sure that rings a bell. Now do yourself a favor and forget you ever heard it.

PS: I think you were plenty loose here, Kim. Were you perhaps bevvying? Just kidding. The whole idea of this effort bores me to tears, but you managed to make it fun. Kudos

Sigh. I am revealing my total lack of hiptitude here, but what is B&T? Maybe I am in that crowd without knowing it.

Kim, ok then yes you were emoting very impressively in that vblog. I was jealous. You do make a good point, communicating a password to the right ears amid the hustle and bustle of Saturday night at a much heralded club will be no easy task. And yes many will look down their noses at vouchers, coupons etc as belonging to dorks, the uncool, or the B&T crowd. I freely admit that I use them.

On a first date and you pull out a coupon from Family Circle.

Loosen up?  Did you watch that video?  I get any looser I am going to be all over the floor.  I do have in mind the quite manic atmosphere outside and inside New York clubs and all the likely problems arising from getting the right password to the right person.  It's hard enough convincing people you're on the guest list.  Maybe it's a little more laidback in L.A.

Kim, loosen up please. Do I detect a New York East Coast bias, or maybe someone who is a bit too intimidated by his über cool dining partners and their disdain for Kim’s hard earned dog-eared Open Table vouchers.

I for one plan on taking the beautiful Mrs B and flying out to LA for an exclusive all Bevvy weekend. This despite the fact that I can’t get out of my mind today’s blog from Taimer that opens with,"Amid the plethora of useless Internet Websites,...".

ICANN: Yet Another Self-Serving Move

6|21|11   |   2:19   |   21 comments


ICANN's plan to create new top-level domains doesn't do the Internet user community any good. Instead, it puts companies at risk of having trademark names held hostage, and it lines ICANN's pockets. Guess what the motivation is here!

Argument Over Top-Level Domains Is 'Stupid'

4|11|13   |   2:07   |   3 comments


The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.

David Weldon
In the 1970 science fiction thriller
Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.
