You are not lost, you are here and you know where here is, right?

February 1, 2010

You are reading DogWalkBlog.com, produced and written in Dayton, Ohio. We are talking with Rufus, one of the key writers of the blog where he reminds us why you, time and place are important for blog credibility and reader orienteering.
I was reading a blog from a linked tweet this morning and halfway through it, my [...]

Things are uneasy, and leash laws are top of the heap

November 13, 2009

Things are a bit uneasy out there with the average citizens. Anxiety is high, people feel they have little control of their own destiny and they are on edge. Know how I can tell? Is it news of the economy streaming over the 24/7 cable news? Politicians screaming from podium microphones? Former governors hawking tell-all-know-nothing-stir-up-hate [...]

Listen to the groundhog

March 2, 2009

I love Groundhog’s Day. It is a silly holiday that you can just hype up and people giggle at.
When reading a post from Chris Brogan today, along with my Wall Street Journal, The Waterboy and a healthy dose of Morning Joe, I’ve come to a conclusion about this economic mess. The economy prognosticators have [...]

The Mac OS goes to the dogs

January 25, 2009

Steve Jobs, we dogs think it was a mistake to start naming the MacOS X after cats. Really, not cool.
In the interest of Think Different, may I propose a name for your next version? Snow Shepherd

Sarah Palin, please grow up, shut up, go away or learn some English

January 14, 2009

In a CNN.com blog post yesterday, Ms. Palin is quoted as saying:
I would think we all tear up during the national anthem at the beginning of a baseball game, don’t we? That’s an alikeness between Alaskans and New Yorkers.
Sigh. I think she meant to say something like “common bond” or “the bonds that united as [...]

I know nothing, but let me tell you about it anyway

January 7, 2009

Few things make me more upset than “journalists” who have no knowledge of the facts of a story, write about it or get on television, answering phantom questions about hypoteticals. Then the anchor or host treats their answers like they relate to the story at hand. Then they guide the reader or listener through [...]

A matter of meat perspective

December 30, 2008

At Christmas dinner, eating a 2lb hunk of rib roast in front of your friends and family is gluttony. But, in front of a television on a Tuesday night with two dogs, it is responsible left over management.

I am so proud to live Dayton, Ohio

December 17, 2008

In a Huffington Post article today, Steven Shehori wrote a satirical piece, claiming that 37% of Americans could not locate America on a map of the United States of America. In it, he writes a quote:
Shirley Matheson, a part-time Arby’s employee residing in Dayton, Ohio, agreed with Weiss’s assessment. “I live in the U.S.A., so [...]

You suck! Your comment sucks!

December 8, 2008

You write a blog post and post it. Someone comes onto your blog and has an alternative point of view. But, instead of engaging this commenter in a logical argument, you lash out at him, belittling his point of view and then using sarcastic remarks in subsequent comments. Is that smart?
This happened recently to me. [...]

Things I found funny today

December 5, 2008

Two scenes in Katy Perry’s Hot & Cold music video struck me as funny today.

Come on, a rock n’ rolling priest at a wedding? That’s just God’s sense of humor.

A guy in a hot dog suit getting run over by a guy running away from his angry bride to be. Yeah, that has funny written [...]

How this financial disaster is like Catholicism

December 5, 2008

I grew up Catholic.
One of the things you learn very early on is this earthly life is a test of your faith for a reward of either heaven and eternal life or hell and eternal damnation. Life here is supposed to be hard, we are supposed to feel pain because these trials are [...]

Nuggets of Reality

December 4, 2008

I received my copy of Guy Kawasaki’s Reality Check yesterday, wasted a whole day NOT reading it, but when I started, immediately got these three nuggets.
1. Majora Carter. Oh, my god, where has this woman been hiding? Why did it take this long to discover her?
2. A couple days ago, Guy tweeted out this link. [...]

What the heck are you trying to SELL me?

November 30, 2008

From the “What the Heck are You Trying to Sell Me” department. It took a whole tank of gas for me to wade through this pump topper. Honestly, how long has Kroger been at the retail game?
