Netflix Takes Over Wal-Mart DVD Rentals

Thursday, May 19th, 2005

According to this article, Wal*Mart has given up the fight against Netflix for their online DVD rental business. I have to give credit to Wal*Mart here for not taking the typical bully role *cough* Microsoft *cough* and simply squashing Netflix with their nearly limitless resources.

Clearly, Wal*Mart cares much more about profit and value than pride.

As a Blockbuster online subscriber I will be watching this battle closely.

Lost Dogs

Wednesday, November 12th, 2003

Yeah, I picked up the new Pearl Jam collection today, Lost Dogs, a collection of about 30 b-sides and unreleased tracks. But those aren’t really the lost dogs of which this entry refers.

Yesterday the company I work for laid off several of my co-workers. While I certainly understand that these things happen in the world of business, it still is difficult to stare at the empty desks of people with whom you used to work. It has been a rough couple of days and I find myself equally dispondent and grateful that I am still employed.

I wish each of them the very best.

Its odd outside today. I left the office at lunch to pickup my CD and it was suprisingly warm — nearly 70 degrees but it smelled of winter, of cold. Odd.
