Stuff the boss wouldn’t let us put on the other LogicMaze blog

In the current economic situation, it’s no doubt that a business must be run as efficiently as possible. That’s where Peterson Predictive Maintenance comes into the picture. Through use of infrared imaging and ultrasound testing, they are able to detect problems with machinery in advance, saving potentially millions of dollars and repairs and routine maintenance.

It’s a sound idea for any industrial business looking to cut costs, rather than staff.

I recently rejoined the illustrious mass that is Kansas drivers when I purchased a car. In my hiatus, I had forgotten that the bulk of them are crazy. It’s almost enough to necessitate an armor-plated vehicle just to ensure my safety. I actually saw somebody eating and talking on their cell phone at the same time whilst driving. When I say I saw them, I mean I got a very up close view when they swerved, erratically, into my lane without looking. Luckily, Mario Andretti has nothing on me. I deftly avoided an accident in that instance. People like this are prime candidates for license suspension.

The problem is that these people somehow manage to maintain their Kansas drivers license, despite their indifference toward common sense and the safety of others.

Here’s another example: Have you ever seen somebody driving with their left foot hanging out the window? What could possibly put the idea in somebody’s head that it’s a good idea to have a critical appendage like a foot jutting from the window for all to see? Maybe he had to air it out. I don’t know. I couldn’t possibly begin to pretend to know what would possess someone to do that. The point is it’s dangerous. Such behavior is grounds for immediate drivers license revocation in my book. And potentially chemical castration.

That’s the end of my rant, ladies and gentlemen.

So they say.

The question is: when it crosses over into ripping someone off, is it still flattering? Other guys at the office brought to my attention this site. Looking at the site itself, that’s obviously not what I’m referring to as the copying. HOWEVER! If one were to view the source on their site as well as ours. . .well:

<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Website designer - Hutchinson Ks Website design by a Hutchinson Kansas website designer - 

Serving All of Kansas including clients in Wichita Salina Mcpherson and several other states offers logical thinking, graphic design, website hosting, logo design, search engine optimization, Ecommerce.">

You’ll just have to take my word that ours was there first. If you try to, you can find the navigation links on their site (white on white background, but they highlight red on rollover) and navigate to the contact page to learn that they run out of Miami, but have an office in Olathe. Why, then, would they shoot for Hutchinson in their Meta info? Maybe they answered that question for me: “Your conpetitors….already have an website!” *cough*spell check*cough*

Absolutely they do! Just use their stuff!
Anyway, I’m a total jerk for bagging on these guys, but I just had to. I mean. . .

The LogicMaze crew and some friends are planning on having some fun paintballing here in a couple of weeks. It’s an exciting thought, but I’ve never been. As out of shape as I am, I’m positive that I’m going to prove myself to be physically inept.

This reminds me of the time that we all went whitewater rafting with our friends at Idaho Afloat. Even the most seasoned, skilled rafting guide couldn’t keep me from sinking all of us. The lucky part is that I did it before we got anywhere near the rapids. Okay, truth be told: I flipped the raft getting in. They made me stay back at the hotel after that.
