Cow Bell Posts At A Genius Level? Yeah Right!


I have to admit that this made me laugh, and certainly made to question the accuracy of the test. But according to The Blog Readability test, you have to be at the reading level of a "Genius" to understand the writing on our blog.

Now that might explain why people stop coming back to the blog (I'm kidding), but I'm sure that this so called test is based on grammatical errors. So how we didn't get a elementary level score is beyond me, but it obviously isn't taking into account content. And I'm sure by the time I post this, it would have dropped to kindergartens level. If you would like to check out how your blog rates or how others do, just plug in the site and find out.

Comcast Has A Mole, Starts Blog


I think I've found a new blog that I'll be checking in on from time to time. Comcast has a mole inside, you might remember that leaked the Bit-Torrent memo. Well they're taking it to the next level by starting up their own blog that will air all of Comcast dirty laundry.

A quote from the first post: "I am just trying to help spread the truth about how screwed up Comcast is," The insider goes on to say: "I am not trying to hurt Comcast's reputation or bad talk them, I think they do a good enough job themselves...You will find a lot of good information here. The information you want to see as a consumer and they don't."

Let me tell ya, this could not have happened to a better company. And I look forward to the day that AT&T, Sony, Microsoft, and Apple have similar insiders to provide consumers with information that those companies try to hid from their customers. Perhaps this will make these companies do the right thing, and not always look for a way to screw the customers.

I'll be check'n this blog out, as I'm sure Comcast will too.
