I’ve signed up with a new simple newsletter site called “TinyLetter.com” which is a project of a guy that used to have “F*cked Company” (the name didn’t have the * in it). Anyway, it’s a really cool newsletter creation site and list server. Please, sign up for the newsletter for Mike Dell’s World. I will … Continue reading New Newsletter

I tell the story about my “customer service” experience With Charter Cable and my Internet outage.
I played a song from Bobby Yang and his unrivaled players – His cover of Tom Sawyer by Rush
I played another song from Catie Curtis – My dad's yard off her CD Called “Hello, Stranger”
I also played Hansom Molly by Detour Bluegrass
I talked about the Warehouse district here In Traverse City and some of the “Artsy fartsy” places there.

Thanks for listening!
Catch me later!

Charter Cable Internet FAIL – Customer Service FAIL – Blog – Mike Dell's World
I’m going on Day 3 without internet at home. Day 5 of intermittent internet at home. It all started a couple of weeks ago when we had the big Midwest hurricane (as they called it on the weather channel) where we had high winds and gales in the Great Lakes Area. At our house, we … Continue reading Charter Cable Internet FAIL – Customer Service FAIL
The 25 hour day – Blog – Mike Dell's World
So what did you do with your 25 hour day? For most of the USA, today is our once-a-year 25 hour day. We have a 23 hour day in the spring to make up for it.

That 4-letter word – SNOW – It’s here – Blog – Mike Dell's World
This is the first time I’ve read that dreaded 4 letter word in a forecast this season. I better get the snow tires on the car and the snowblower on the tractor before too long. As you can see, later on next week, the snow will melt and I will have time. Still, I’m not … Continue reading That 4-letter word – SNOW – It’s here

After watching last night’s coverage of the elections, I have a few observations that are interesting. I flipped back and forth between 5 or 6 channels. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, NBC Broadcast, Fox Broadcast and a few others. On Fox News and Fox Broadcast I noticed that when they listed a race, the winner or … Continue reading 2010 Elections coverage
It’s your right NOT to vote today – Blog – Mike Dell's World
November 2nd is the general mid-term elections in the USA. I’m a bit strange when I won’t tell everyone to go vote. In fact, I prefer that you don’t if are not up on what’s going on and who’s running. If you just choose not to vote, that’s your business too. I did vote. It … Continue reading It’s your right NOT to vote today
