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 [...]

I was listening to NPR on WMUB this morning about the freshman Ohio senators starting their terms and how hard their jobs will be dealing with the State having a $1.9 billion budget deficit, GM, Delphi, DHL and other large companies pulling out of Ohio and various other things.
Many of the in-coming senators went [...]

I collect newspaper clippings for blog ideas. Mostly, the articles are things that sent my blood pressure over the edge or got me wondering “what if it were different” or just things that make me go “hmmmmmmmmmm..”
These clippings sit on my desk, tugging at me to write a blog post about them. But there [...]

Apparently, a Microsoft Zune model couldn’t do the leap year calculation for 2008 and ending up freezing for it’s owners yesterday. In the WSJ, they reported that “… Zune owners flooded blogs and Internet chat sites to complain they couldn’t listen to music…”
What? How much of a flood could 12 people worldwide create?
All I know [...]

I received a panic email from a graphic designer at a local city magazine yesterday who desperately needed some photos of a soccer tournament. “Anything you have showing local kids playing soccer!” she said. Since she was referred by someone who had faith that I would come through for her, it was hard to say [...]

According to the Wall Street Journal, U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel paid $57,500 from a campaign account to a Web-design company owned by his son over two years, paying more for Internet services than any other House member during the same period, according to federal records.
My first thought was that perhaps the web site was worth [...]

Apple announced today that will no longer participate in Macworld Expo, the largest annual show for Mac enthusiasts. In a press release, Apple says:
Apple is reaching more people in more ways than ever before, so like many companies, trade shows have become a very minor part of how Apple reaches its customers. The increasing popularity [...]

Every December, Santa hands the US Postal Service a shiny new opportunity to rebrand itself as a lovable, caring organization that is an integral part of all 43,000+ Zip Codes it services. Every year, the USPS blows it terribly.
I found myself in the Englewood OH 45322 Post Office last Friday about 4:00pm. Ironically [...]

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. [...]

There has been a rush with the social media consultant groups and evangelists about how to define this thing called “social media.” Chris Brogan defined it as cafe-shaped conversation. And many people jumped on that metaphor.
Hubspot got a bit lively when they published a video and blog post about not measuring ROI on social media. [...]

So, I am starting the Three Things Revolution! Follow me!
Three things you need to know to use Twitter:

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 [...]

Yesterday, I read a tweet from a young someone I’m following who had jury duty. She tweeted:
The judge just told us we are not allowed to create a blog about the trial. The geezers in the room laughed. I twittered it our.
My first reaction was annoyance with the blatant disregard of the judge’s order (yes, [...]

About a year ago, I found The Browns on Amazon.com in a random search prompted by the memory of “I heard the bluebird sing” from my puppyhood. I bought the album and couldn’t wait to play it.
Well, I should have because the sound that came out of my speaker was crystal clear and remastered from [...]

We are walking with the BIG DOGS now!
Guy Kawasaki (guykawasaki) is now following your updates on Twitter. YEAH!!!

Guy included me in his Alltop magazine rack early on in the site life (pets.alltop.com) and I’ve been a fan since. Actually, I have always been a fan of Guy. When Neenz sent a Facebook message to the Alltop group about getting some cool Alltop stickers, I was there. Sent my mailing address in and [...]

Thanks Guy Kawasaki for pointing me to this video from his twitter feed!

We have moved into a new office on the other side of the road, just kitty-corner from the old building. But, because we are on the busy side of the street, our old walking route is beyond reach as cars race by on Main St., not allowing us to cross easily. So, we [...]
