A Collection From A Cluttered Mind

The internet is full of pearls of wisdom. This one made me laugh: Going to McDonald’s for a salad is like going to a brothel for a hug. Word.
My friend John and I have an ongoing argument about AC/DC. We like them, but they’ve been recording the same songs for years. It is John’s (erroneous) [...]

Gypsies In The Palace: Jimmy Buffett Concert Review

I saw the 2010 Summerzcool Tour final date at BankAtlantic center last night (27 Feb) with Evan, Brenda, Greg, Gaby, Mom, and Karen.
We started at Renegade for and early dinner. We were there at 515, Karen followed two minutes later, John and Liz right after that. Evan and Brenda brought up the rear. I’ve only [...]

Killer Whales are not Whales. Dammit. Orcas.

Before I get to the interesting stuff, I want to follow up on a post from yesterday. I taught the management company my HOA employees a valuable lesson. My final message to them was that if I didn’t hear back by 10am I was going to file a formal complaint with the State Department of [...]

JD Salinger Buys an iPad. Not.

First, RIP to legendary author and recluse Jerome David Salinger who died today. In an AP story today humorist John Hodgman was quoted as saying, “I prefer to think JD Salinger has just decided to become extra reclusive.” Mr Salinger was most famous for introducing world to Holden Caulfield.
Next up, a quick nod to all [...]

Hockey Hubris, The Florida Panthers, the iPad (iTampon?), and Avatar

I am using the word hubris only because Murphy used it in his recent blog entry. It’s an unusual word and if he can use hockey and hubris in a blog post, so can I. I am going to talk about hockey as it turns out.
EASTERN CONFERENCE (NHL: National Hockey League)
These are based on [...]

Blogger –> WordPress (Do you need a job?)

This blog is published using Blogger (a Google company) but hosted on my own website so I can make sure things operate the way I want and not they way they want. This includes being able to fix individual files and graphics when they go wonky and such.
In March, just 60 days away, Blogger will [...]

Blu-Ray Phasers and Classic Advertising

Today is laundry day. And it’s also a football weekend. The Cowboys lost and that is an awesome thing because I hate them but on the other hand it was to Minnesota, who I used to like. Until they got Brett “Whiny Bitch” Farve, who I can’t stand. The Jets and Colts both won and [...]

The Struggle Of A Blog Entry

Many days I have nothing to blog, so I don’t. Usually when I have something to blog, it’s hard to know what post to start with. Officially, I don’t care who reads or not, but I still feel obligated to be interesting. As a writer, you want to grab people with the first thing you [...]

Gordon Ramsay and The Secret Diary Of Steve Jobs

This article about Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant empire is a good read. It’s weird because tonight on BBC America’s Late Night With Jonathan Ross, who was the guest? Gordon Ramsay, discussing his recent facelift. And tonight on Jay Leno? Gordon Ramsay. (The BBCA show is one week behind, so we get last week’s show a week [...]

765th post

According to Blogger we’re at 765 posts and counting, this one included. It includes all posts whether or not consequential so if I made two posts in one day that are short, they’re still two posts. But you don’t care about that, and neither do. I’m waiting on 1,000 :) 
I’m at 247,000 hits and counting. [...]
