For comic relief for the New Year I offer here some of my broken resolutions published in my Control Talk column plus a new number one.
(20) Listen intently to my wife's instructions. Why does my mind still jump to weighty matters like what is next for dinner?
(19) Stop making cheap control valve jokes. Could the next final element reputation I hurt be my own?
(18) Help make smart diagnostics smarter. Do I need to de-fussify my fuzzy logic?
(17) Stop lusting in my heart for more computing power. Is it the PC or me that is the constraint?
(16) Turndown the volume on my headphones. What did you say?
(15) Stop drinking cheap wine. Does good wine ever come in a size large enough?
(14) Read a college text on control theory. Can I watch Star Trek without setting up the state space equations?
(13) Stop answering a question with a question. Why should a consultant do this?
(12) Spend more time with my wife than with Control magazine. Whatever happened to my January issue?
(11) More bark than bite. Can I at least growl? Will I be forced to wear an anti-bark collar? Is this better than a muzzle?
(10) Stop making fun of seniors. Who else do I know? We certainly aren't an endangered species with the influx of baby boomers.
(9) Stop focusing on deadtime. What else is there at Sun City? Whoops, I am already breaking my last resolution.
(8) Final element resolution resolution. Why should I get unstuck when valves are stuck and it gives me a chance to repeat words?
(7) Get into hybrids. No issue here with fashion models. Can a hybrid face up to a 2 ton high lift truck with a cattle guard? Can I drive under a cow?
(6) Show my more sensitive side. Wait, will I confuse people including myself? Do I have to start watching "Brothers and Sisters?"
(5) Stop drinking cheap booze. I will give this another shot.
(4) Listen to hip-hop. What if I am not hip and can't hop?
(3) Become rich and famous. How about poor and infamous?
(2) Lean how to sell. How can I sell a product when I can't sell myself?
(1) Stop pushing the Essential Book even though the royalties are donated for wireless research at the University of Texas and the book is like a fine wine with a lush blend of technology with rich overtones, a balanced feel, and a lingering finish. What if readers like cheap wine? What if readers are not UT fans? What if they are rooting for Alabama? What if they think wireless research will be used in the BCS game?
I really enjoy following your posts. It really adds something to my afternoon.
What the... you'll not belief that. Our mindless puppy actually farted on my arm!? I mean what's the problem with this!? I give food to this thing and I receive that in return. I still will not belief that. After all, you have a number of important facts there in your article. I knew Google will bring me to a few interesting stuff today :). O . k . must search this animal now! Have a nice day you all!
I was online searching for body armor and came across Blue Defense. They have awsome customer service.
Well I must say, it's about time I found a decent site with good info on what I was looking for. Great job on the site and the post. Thanks
Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic
Thanks!
Comfortably, the article is really the sweetest on this laudable topic. I fit in with your conclusions and will thirstily look forward to your upcoming updates. Just saying thank you will not just be sufficient, for the extraordinary clarity in your writing. I will directly grab your rss feed to stay abreast of any updates. Genuine work and much success in your business enterprise!
you have a nice blog, i enjoyed the article.
Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
Netter Post, hat mich echt nachdenklich gemacht. Ich bin der Auffassung, dass das Thema noch wichtiger wird in Zukunft. Ich halte mich auf jeden Fall auf dem Laufenden!
Thanks for posting this article. I'm decidedly frustrated with struggling to search out pertinent and intelligent commentary on this issue. Everybody today goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your concise, pertinent insight.
