Anyways, it's common and cleansing to laugh (often inappropriately) after sad news, and that King of The Hill was pretty funny on the downside of social web passion.

Didn't see King of the Hill, but in this case, we're talking about a guy who used blogging and other communities to spread knowledge and good will about Apex. Not only because it was his job, but also because he had a passion for this stuff.

King of The Hill last night was spot-on, inappropriate use of myspace for a business.

It helps to have that, otherwise it's too random.

My three highest weeks in terms of hits have been:
1. When I was fired
2. When I was laid off
3. When Carl passed away

I keep trying to get my wife to use some of these tools (blogging, twitter, etc) to help find friends. I constantly extoll the virtues of the online community.

I can tell you that the support I received during number 1 and 2 was remarkable. I had never expected it. Looking back, I know it would have been a much more difficult experience had I been “alone.”

I for one am thankful for the Oracle community. There are some great people here.
