We can

It turns out that this website is actually in the top 5% of all blogs in the WORLD.  Where did I get this incredible statistic?  The Internets, of course. ((Photo courtesy of Mike Licht, NotionsCapital.com))

While there are some 133,000,000 blogs in the world, all but 7,400,000 of them have been abandoned.  ((Apparently not updating a blog in four months is considered abandoning it.))  Since I add a blog post on average at least once a week, I’m quite safely in the top 7.4 million blogs.  That doesn’t even count the number of updates to the permanent impairment and permanent disability calculators.

Top 5%!  I wish I had prepared a speech.

Unfortunately, one of the coolest features of my calculators is that some of them will give you the answer you’re looking for before you’ve even finished typing the search term.  This works with the:

While these are all very cool while you’re sitting at your computer, I found out (much to my dismay) that this system didn’t work at all when using these online calculators from my cell phone!  ((It has to do with cross-browser compatibility and inconsistent support for javascript events.  I doubt anyone is interested in this.)) Well, I’ve updated the calculators to make them more compatible with more phones. ((Photo courtesy of Hunda))

Workers Compensation Rate Hearing
Do you need protection from the Workers' Compensation Rate Hearing?

Workers’ Comp Executive will be providing a live steaming broadcast of the Workers’ Compensation rate hearings taking place in Sacramento on June 8th, 2009.

Now, don’t mind that funny looking guy yammering on about CompLine.  ((I must accept cookie you say?  Twist my rubber arm!  It’s like Friday in Judge Succa’s hearing room!)) ((CompLine is an “experience mod” tool for insurance professionals.)) He’ll be replaced with a live streaming broadcast of the rate hearings come Monday afternoon at 12:45pm.

Will the rates go up?  Will they go down?  Who knows!

Riddle me this!
Riddle me this!

Yesterday afternoon in Fresno I showed another attorney how I could perform an Ogilvie calculation on my cell phone using the best workers’ compensation calculator website in the world.

  • He looked at me and asked me, “How much does this cost?”
  • I answered, “They’re free.”
  • He asked me, “Well, why the heck am I paying for _______?” ((Oh, YOU know who he was talking about…))

I don’t know. ((Photo courtesy of Santheo))
