Reminders of mortality

by Charlie on November 11, 2009

Either I am old or the people putting together Web site user interfaces are a bunch of insensitive punk kids. I am one choice away from the last age you can be to use the Internet. Enjoy your youth while it lasts, kids! And get off my lawn.

Forget everything you’ve ever been told about Twitter. Forget about what you think you know about joining the conversation, being authentic, getting folks to follow you, following people you find interesting, etc. Forget about not doing self-promotion or even tweeting. You don’t have to do any of those things. But, you do need a Twitter [...]

PAPP juggies is not appropriate, is it?

by Rufus on October 23, 2009

So I get this email from Nancy-Ann DeParle Director, White House Office of Health Reform asking me to watch a video by Michele Obama on women and health care reform. I did and decided to drop the @whitehouse a comment, which I rarely do because they never respond anyway. They are busy, I understand. When [...]

To live life more fully through humor. This sign was at the cashier station at a Bob Evans. What do you think they do with all the lost nouns, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, conjunctions and other parts of speech? Is there a box we can rummage through to find them? Maybe we can find a few [...]

Woman’s Day Magazine?

by Charlie on September 29, 2009

Ok, not really sure how they found me or what value this blog can possibly give them, but since they sent me an email with a link to some pet products they wrote about, what could possibly go wrong with passing the info along? So, I pulled one of my favorite products from their list [...]

Experts, experts everywhere

by Charlie on September 26, 2009

Yesterday on our afternoon walk, Sallie was having a bit of trouble walking straight and she was getting her leash all tangled up in my legs, so since we were only a block and a half away from home, I unsnapped it and kept walking. A few minutes later, I hear this woman yelling at [...]

Sharpie at Fashion Week and funky purple

by Rufus on September 16, 2009

Sharpie is at Fashion Week in New York. I just wish I was there. I really don’t care too much about fashion, but life in Dayton, Ohio is just dead boring. I’ve also set a new random challenge to get an invite to a fashion show in 2010. Anyone want a dog to attend a [...]

I had a hair cut appointment on Saturday morning. The rules are simple and unwritten. 1. Arrive on time, never late. 2. Chat with Jerry about social issues 3. Never touch your hair during the cutting/styling process. 4. Never touch your hair during the cutting/styling process. (Not a repeat, just a lot of emphasis.) For [...]

I’m sitting in the drive through lane at National City Bank in Englewood, Ohio, trying to find something to read as I was waiting for the teller to process my deposits. My eye wanders over to the sign they have next to the tube-machine and the map on the sign looks very familiar. I kept [...]

Apple to release Snow Shepherd early

by Charlie on August 17, 2009

Charlie is hoping that Apple will come to it’s senses and start naming software releases after big dogs, not big cats. MacOS X 11.0? He can hope. Oops.. I have been told that not everyone who stumbles upon my blog here is a Mac person. While I find that really hard to believe, I will [...]

Things can’t be that bad. Eleven cars deep at the McDonald’s drive thru window, all idling and all have two or fewer people in them.

Sallie croons to harmonica music

by Charlie on July 24, 2009

I just picked up the harmonica lying around as I was waiting on my coffee to warm up. I started playing and Sallie joined in. Fortunately, I had my iPhone in my pocket and a quick Voice Recording later, I have Sallie in her musical debut. Her You are my Sunshine sounds suspiciously like her [...]
