The gf has been a Blind Pilot fan for longer than I've known her.I love the term "front bottom" but the one song I listened to was kind of annoying.Bear's Den sounds fairly promising. Sleepy, but if they ramp it up they'll sound too much like Mumford and Sons.

Try "father" or "the beer song" by fb. They are growing on me.
 
Day drunk in Vegas is awesome. Had eight Bacardis in three hours. I may pass out at Terry Fator tonight.

Gambling has been poor so far, but I have plenty of ammo and will keep firing.

 
JR just came running through the kitchen naked and he told me that he wanted to go play outside. I told him that he had to put underwear on. The next thing I know he's running out the door with nothing on other than a pair of underwear on his head.

Abe> Are you going to any of the rodeo BBQ cookoff this weekend? If so, hit me up with a text.

I'll be at the cookoff Saturday night for sure. My brother in law is a competitive cookoff guy and is really good. The company he works for (he's in Ft. Worth) uses his pit for their Austin team. He ends up doing all the work while they get drunk and then they take all the credit. But it's fun. Might go out tomorrow as well but that depends on how the kids are doing. I'll text you Saturday if we go.

I recently ran across an article on it as a "good" social Intranet which is something I'm trying to sell our executives on.JR has a cold and he's not sleeping well. It's kinda entertaining because he gets mad about being sick. So every once in a while I'll hear him scream out "MY NOSE IS STILL RUNNING!" or "GET OUT OF ME COUGH!" and then he'll go right back to sleep.

What did it say about it? I'd be curious as I've noticed nothing revolutionary, unique or even unusual about it. :shrug: In terms of a "social" aspect, a couple of years ago they pressed people to join this Yammer site that was supposed to be our work version of Facebook. It was awful, and I don't know anyone outside of Corporate Communications (who set it up) who uses it. So definitely I'd love to see that article--I might be missing something.

Yammer is the suck. So is Chatter. AS Krista said, they are tools favored by people high on the food chain that heard this new thing called "social networking" was cool and got sold on "facebook (Yammer) or Twitter (Chatter) for business!" They are both functional, but you really have to squint to see how they are adding value. Mostly I think social networking tools in businesses are time sinks forced on workers. Someone will get it right eventually, but I haven't seen it yet. It's also funny that Microsoft bought Yammer...

My company briefly tried yammer. It was terrible and became a running joke.

:goodposting:No way in hell I would post on there...too many people view it as people screwing around at work. It's actually a shame thought, b/c there are some good ideas out there for people to share
 
"Yammer" and "Chatter", huh? Never heard of them until now, but aside from being generic knock-offs of the "Twitter" label, those name choices also pretty accurately convey how companies view social media during work hours.
