DON’T ANSWER THE PHONE IF YOU’RE BUSY!

Phones / Technology

Since mobile phones became a body-part (meaning, just about every adult in the modern world has one,) expectations and etiquette of person-to-person communications have changed drastically. Now that “everyone” has a phone in the palm of their hand for HOURS every day, some people have turned into Pavlov’s dogs – they feel that they MUST answer a ringing phone, regardless of their current situation. STOP IT! The overwhelming majority of phone calls are not life-or-death. They aren’t ‘the radio station is calling to give you a million dollars.’ …

Quora: “Does any one at Disney still think in terms of ‘What would Walt Disney do?'”

Quora

The “anyone” part of the question is a bit ambiguous, as there are those who actually work in the Parks, and those who ‘build’ the Parks. Also, the word “do” can mean something different depending on who you ask. Having worked at Disneyland in Attractions (Autopia, and lots of guest control,) as well as in Guest Relations, and finally as a locomotive engineer, I had the opportunity to help and talk to guests face-to-face on a daily basis, in different capacities. I also learned a lot about other …

Quora: “How is Disney pulling their content from Netflix going to impact streaming services?”

Quora

Netflix will be fine. DISNEY is the one you shouldn’t bet on. The streaming market is so splintered now, that people need to subscribe to half-a-dozen different services. HBO, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney, Paramount… and each one costing at least $10/mnth. Not to mention people who ALSO pay for cable TV. While Disney has a lot of content – there’s A LOT of the same stuff. Once you watch ALL of the Marvel movies on the Disney streaming service, what’s left? Kid’s shows for Disney… and …

Quora: “What do you like the most about a DeLorean car?”

Quora

As a friend once said, ‘The DeLorean isn’t a speed machine, and it’s not a time machine – but it IS a smile machine.’ What I like most about owning and driving a DeLorean is how happy it makes people. I’ve only owned #10515 since November 2015, but just about every time I drive it – to get gas, car shows, meeting friends for dinner – people always comment about the car, take photos, and are usually smiling. 99% of that comes from the Back to the Future …

Reselling billboards in Google Maps

Business

I spend waaay too much time in Google Maps. I love it. Part of it is the history aspect. Part is the technology aspect. Part is just the ability to plan and know what an area or route looks like without having to go there. I used TerraServer and MapQuest before Google Maps, and they were amazing for their time. But Google Maps is the juggernaut. So much information about so many places in the world – with many of those places visible in Street View, as if …
