10 Reason to Have Your Next Corporate Meeting in Florida

admin — Fri, 16 May 2008 02:46:24 +0000

Woah! Who wouldn’t want to be there instead of stuck in some boring other city!?!

Man, Florida sure has some great destinations. One time my company scheduled a Corporate Meeting in Columbus, Ohio. Talk about bummers!

The next time, they hired Kirkland Event & Destination Service. I wasn’t involved in the planning of it, so I can’t tell you all that much about that aspect.

But one thing’s for sure… we sure had a blast in Florida. Whew boy. They say what happens in vegas stays in vegas. I guess those people have never been to Florida.

Boy… Tommy, Henry, Hank and I had one groovy far-out time down in West Palm Beach, Florida.

They say West Palm Beach is just full of a bunch of old Jewish people, but I think that’s a bunch of honky. Tommy, Henry, Hank and I had a blast.

After the corporate training seminar we were attending, we all went down to the local Friday’s and had a round of margaritas. Boy, did we have a far-out time at the bar!

Tommy thought the waitress was hitting on him, but I could swear she was making the eyes at me. Man, the girls down in florida are nothing compared to the Event Planners in St. Louis.

Hey! Check it out. I found this totally gnarly video about Florida travel on YouTube:

Well, anyway, I sure hope my company chooses Kirkland for all of its florida event planning needs that will, assuredly, arise in the not all too distant future.

The Pirate Bay Crew is Charged with Aiding Copyright Infringement

admin — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 06:42:08 +0000

Our good friends from The Pirate Bay have been charged with aiding copyright infringement, as reported by torrentfreak and others.

Via torrentfreak:

“The operation of The Pirate Bay is financed through advertising revenues. In that way it commercially exploits copyright-protected work and performances,” said prosecutor Hakan Roswall in a statement. The prosecution claims the site generates annual ad revenue of more than $4 million.

Roswall consequently asks the court for a $188,000 fine for the four individuals – Fredrik Neij (”TiAMO”), Gottfrid Svartholm (”Anakata”), Peter Sunde (”Brokep”) and businessman Carl Lundström – and the confiscation of their computers. Among the works that were mentioned in the charges are “Let It Be” from the Beatles and Harry Potter’s “The Goblet of Fire”. In addition the four face up to 2 years in prison, but this is very unlikely based on the evidence gathered by the authorities.

Bobby Fischer Documentary – Anything to Win

admin — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 06:28:26 +0000

Robert “Bobby” Fischer was an American-born chess Grandmaster, an Icelandic citizen at the time of his death, who became famous as a teenager for his chess-playing ability. In 1972, he became the first, and so far only, American to win the official World Chess Championship, defeating defending champion Boris Spassky in a match held in Reykjavík, Iceland. The match was widely publicized as a Cold War battle. He is often referred to as a candidate for the greatest chess player of all time. Fischer won the U.S. Chess Championship all eight times he competed, from 1957 to 1966, a record.

In 1975, Fischer refused to defend his title when FIDE, the international chess federation, would not accept all his conditions. He was stripped of his title as a result, after which he became more reclusive. He played no more competitive chess until 1992, when he had a rematch with Spassky.

The competition was held in Yugoslavia, which was then under a strict United Nations embargo. This led to a conflict with the US government, and he never returned to his native country.

In his later years, Fischer lived in Hungary, Germany, the Philippines and Japan. During this time he became increasingly paranoid and made anti-American and antisemitic statements, despite the fact that his mother and likely biological father were both Jewish. In 2004–2005, after his US passport was revoked, he was detained by Japanese authorities for nine months under threat of extradition. He was then granted Icelandic citizenship and released to Iceland by the Japanese authorities. He lived in Iceland from 2005 until his death in 2008.
