Daily Twitter Notes

Sometimes the things I would like to write about like economic, Wall Street, and political news (sports too) I never have time to get to. With Twitter, you at least get some of the flavor of what I am thinking about.

I will not include all of the ones where I am responding to someone else, might get confusing...

May 5, 2008

• Wait a minute, John Sumser is @johsumser without the "n"? Hey John, WTF?
• Chris Paul and the Hornets make Tim Duncan and the Spurs look like a high school JV team.
• Had a great conversation with @johnsumser of RecruitingRoadshow.com regarding the July 18th event. His and our 1 year anniversary.
• @PowerBaby In my presentations I hammer on this, it is never too early to network. Start now and just think who you will know in 20 years.
• Target: Sells 47% interest in the receivables unit to JP Morgan for $3.6B in cash.
• ISM's non-manufacturing employment index: Up to 50.8 in April from 46.9 in March. See, I can post multiple good news events in one day.
• ISM non-manufacturing index: Service Sector grew. 52.0 in April, 49.1 was estimate. 49.6 in March. See, I do post good news
• CNBC: YHOO largest shareholders upset. Would consider changing the board. Would have considered $34 a share.
• Grilling a steak on a beautiful day at 2 pm. Is this lunch or dinner?
• My favorite Twitter friend is @PowerBaby. Every day I get a good laugh http://tinyurl.com/674v5r
• Minnesota Recruiters gets nice plug from Ning blog: http://tinyurl.com/6ouw2z Very cool.
• @jrmehle It is not. When it is announced you will likely be surprised a little that an "old" company would "get it".
• Gas prices are "part" of the conversation for the first time.
• Seeing many candidates ask questions about time and miles on the road to work. Gas prices are put of the conversation for the first time.
• Citing fuel costs for employees, expansion costs for HQ's space, trying to be "green" and user friendly for employees.
• A local large employer to go to 4-10 hours day and/or 1 day telecommute as part of recruiting/retention effort. Will be announced soon.
• @RobertFischer I know. I only post stuff I think someone would want to know about. I am more fun during up markets and good times.
• Oil: Breaks $120 on supply concerns from Nigeria and weak U.S. $
• Dallas Stars victorious over San Jose Sharks in 4 OT's. Dallas to play the Detroit Red Wings. I can go to bed now.

May 4, 2008

• Franken vs Coleman, Channel 5 poll out: Coleman 52, Franken 42, Undecided 6. Coleman gained with R's. Franken lost some D's.
• A most beautiful day in Minneapolis. Finally it looks like spring is here to stay.
• Gopher Football: For those not yet aware Gopher football is my thing. Hasan Lipscomb RB 4* from Houston, TX picks Minnesota over LSU
• Garnett sets a great pick. A hard foul for sure but "legal". Likely in some retaliation for what happened on Rondo earlier. Watch the replay
• Boston Celtics and Kevin Garnett giving Atlanta Hawks an old fashioned ass whooping. 70-34, 3:00 3rd quarter.
• Al Franken: He paid $70,000 in taxes to the wrong state. And now has paid $70,000 to the correct states. Did he pay double?

May 3, 2008

• @derickson Normally do not start paying much attention until the All Star Game but with all the new guys have been watching more than usual
• Twins: Win 4th in a row. Joe Nathan 10th save in 10 tries.
