I recently discovered that someone I’d been following here for a couple of years, unfollowed me. No, it’s not the first time this has happened (nor will it be the last). And yes, I keep tabs on this stuff every once in a while, as I take who I follow fairly personally. I like to think of the people who I routinely engage with here as friends. Or, as close to friends as you can get without physically meeting. Anyway…
I’m sorry to have to break this to you, but here’s how happiness works – you get it when you’re ready for it. And when you do experience the epiphany, you then realize how easy it is to reach up and grab hold of happiness whenever you desire it. But then, self-pity is never the same again, of course – because you’ll see that you only have yourself to blame for feeling like shit. It’s a trade off. *** Jim…
I saw a tweet tonight stating that the website MartinLutherKing.org was owned and operated by White Pride World – a white supremacy group. Intrigued, I clicked over to check it out. After all, deception at that level would be the epitome of evil, wouldn’t it? After landing on the site, it looked fine to me. Sure, it’s a shabby looking site – but not unreasonable for a small organization. Nothing on the page looked offensive. So I did a whois…
The other day I put together this list of some of the domain names I own, for a colleague. I thought it might make a fun post. After all, I’m not really doing anything else with them right now. Anyway, this is how my brain works. If this post sucks, my apologies. puppliesareassholes.com – Because they are, and I have visual proof. I want to use this as a blog. Sponsors? Probably, if traffic is strong. But I’d not seek…
This is a very cute concept. And extremely well written, cast, directed and produced. But what does it say about the state of advertising that this is the best ad of the Super Bowl (25m views)? What’s the USP – remote start? This is a really nice short. Maybe this is the way it’s going to be from now on? Maybe advertising for TV has officially shifted, and not just for the Big Game? Mind you, I wouldn’t complain. I’d…
I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. Yes, it was intentional. And yes, it was one hell of an experiment (possible post coming) trying to avoid watching anything related to it on Sunday. So, as the result of skipping the big game, I didn’t see the halftime act. I heard it was [yawn] as great as ever. On Saturday night, my wife and I saw Jimmy Eat World at Amos’ South End. Yes, we stood on the floor for two hours chest-to-back…
