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 [...]

Oxymoron of the day

by Charlie on July 20, 2009

On the one hand, it is a beer truck so it should be cool, maybe even scream “chick mobile.” On the other hand, it is a PT Cruiser which oozes ultimate dorkness. Which do you think it is? Is it both? Could it be? I dunno.

Snickers disturbs the creative process

by Rufus on July 2, 2009

Ok, so I am at my computer, banging away at an idea that has kept me up all night and I hear this noise, like a noisy fan motor. I get up, walk around the room trying to figure out where it is coming from. It is Snickers (my cat), lying all curled up, fast [...]

Naked spaghetti with skinny meatball

by Rufus on June 30, 2009

I like simple food, but I don’t think the name of the dish should be any less exotic. One of my favorite meals is plain buttered spaghetti and a seasoned hamburger patty. I call it “Naked spaghetti with skinny meatball.” Here’s the recipe: 1. Boil water, salt and oil (nothing fancy, just vegetable oil. If [...]

Why my dog is my alter-ego

by Rufus on June 19, 2009

I had been thinking a lot about this lately as more and more people in the Social Media space poke at me for not being authentic. If I blog as my dog, Rufus, I can’t possibly be authentic. Why am I hiding? I am not hiding, but rather being optimistically cautious. Seth Simonds just published [...]

I made someone laugh on Twitter today and felt pretty good about it. I was having a rotten day, but 140 characters later, I’m feeling alright. Here is the reply. You gotta work to find the original tweet

Living my one and only life

by Charlie on June 4, 2009

This is the cover of the LIFE section of the Dayton Daily News today. On the masthead, it says “Life; You’ve only got one. Live it up” but the headline for the feature article is telling me to “get back in the car,” that sticking my head out to catch a breeze through my ears [...]

My only secret I have been hiding in my closet is I have been an Ellen DeGeneres fan since she played the sassy secretary in Open House. Enjoy her common cement speech for the graduating class of 2009 at Tulane University.

A few months ago, I read this article in Parade Magazine. It claims “about one in every 31 adults in the United States is in prison, in jail, or on supervised release.” The number seemed high, so I consulted the stats on a US government site. Wow. They are high, but not inaccurate. (The chart [...]

The most offensive Tea Party sign ever

by Rufus on April 19, 2009

The Huffington Post ran a story with some slide shows, showing the most offensive signs at the recent tea parties. As I was looking through the slide show, I found the sign that was the absolute, most offensive one of all. And, if the words on the sign weren’t enough to get you steaming mad, [...]

AdAge Power150, I’m done with you

by Rufus on April 11, 2009

I noticed that the AdAge Power150 now has 979 blogs listed. “That is odd,” I heard my puppy brain saying to myself. “How can you be a top 150 list and have more than 150 blogs listed?” Then, I thought that perhaps I now had a chance, that Charlie Moran would no longer reject me [...]
