Very cool, It was a fun diversion from the normal ride and great to see everyone come together as a team.

Comment on Mild-mannered grass trimmer becomes wild stupid dangerous thing by ken

Postlogue: I should have worried more about the 18-volt battery… not made for such a fast drain. Kind of gets real hot on the charger, and won’t keep a charge now. Fortunately I have a second one that I’ll keep far away from the trimmer…

Good explanation, Sunbird, I’d forgotten about the cylinder deactivation on the Hemi. So the only sticking point for taxpayers is initial cost, then, not fuel costs.

Here’s the deal on the Hemi. Dodge/Jeep have offered three engines–a six that gets fair mileage, an eight that is more powerful but sucks on mileage, and a 5.7 liter eigit that is much more powerful and gets almost the same mileage as the six. How does this happen? The eight runs on four cylinders when it is loafing. which is most of the time on the highway. Of course, you gotta put out substantially bigger bucks for a vehicle with the 5.7 hemi.

@Justin | Personal Growth
I think you’re right, Justin; a good freelancer, if you can find one, can provide much more value than an agency.

That’s where I’ve been coming from for years. Everyone wants to outsource writing and SEO, and– to take the same idea further– they should be nurturing these as core competencies by putting an expert on staff.

Thanks for your comment.

Hi Ken,
I was talking to my brother today about Market Samurai. He works for a loan mod company and he was telling me that his company had paid $1000s of dollars to some company to do all of their SEO and marketing.

I was thinking, man I could do the same thing for them for half of the price. Yes, most companies will outsource the writing, and SEO because they just don’t have the time to learn how to do it themselves.

take care…

Thought of an alternative use for my card. I could tape it to the handlebars of my mountain bike, facing forward, to scare small animals off the path and out of danger…

Yo, Ken. Long time, etc. Just happened upon your name in Eric Stark’s column and thought I’d say Yo.

@Anonymous, You're welcome. Credit is due to Eric Stark, who wrote about Comcast's A/B switch offer and made readers of the Sunday News aware of it. I agree with you that they're stinkers for keeping it under wraps.
