About two weeks ago (after one week of planning) Rockwell Automation moved me to Dallas, Texas area. I now live in Dallas itself and am starting to get to know the area. So far I love the city (far better than Cleveland or freaking Indiana).

So far I’ve been mostly traveling here to customers in Texas and Louisiana area. Sometimes I have to drive over 4 hours to a customer and 4 hours back which gives me plenty of time to finish my audio books (or re-listen to old ones).

I’m hoping to find some time soon, find an entrepreneur or web designer group/club around here and make some friends. Anyone from Dallas area that actually reads my blog?

Last weekend I had some time on my hand so I made two new small websites:

• Poison Ivy Treatment: All unique articles on preventing and treating poison ivy.
• Hookah coupons: coupons to various hookah stores online.

From today (Monday June 21st) for 10 days I will

• Run 5k every day after or before  work
• Finish two books: Linchpin & Why We Buy
• No alcohol

I’m doing this just because I want to. If I don’t finish all of the above I will donate $100 to a charity of your choice.

I was reading about the oil spill online and came across an article on The American Spectator. I think It’s worth reading. Here is an excerpt of it.

“I am rarely at a loss for words, but I was briefly stunned into silence by Barack Obama’s words during his Tuesday night speech that he would ‘inform’ BP’s CEO that he ‘is to’ create an escrow account. The president has no authority to do such a thing – but neither did he have authority to cram down Chrysler and GM bond holders for the benefit of the UAW. Law is irrelevant, probably not even considered as an afterthought, by this president.

“BP is not a victim here. They’re not in the least bit sympathetic. But this is the nation that presumes innocence before guilt, that is founded on the rule of law rather than of men. How strange it is that we elected a president who wants to give terrorist murderers the benefit of the doubt, give them access to legal protections they’re not even entitled to, but treats a major international corporation – which had already said it would pay all legitimate claims – the way Al Capone treated a rival moonshine distributor.”
