Tuesday Triple Play

By Jerry Wilson, on March 31st, 2009%

I don’t have much to say tonight.  Feeling rather beat up after the day’s events.  So, some songs for your Tuesday night.

This one by Weezer was, I believe, the theme song for many today:

For an unknown reason, this classic track by the Kinks was stuck in my head all day.  Might have . . . → Read More: Tuesday Triple Play

A Brief Moment Of Self-Indulgent Grousing

By Jerry Wilson, on March 30th, 2009%

To the people who follow me on Twitter:

Hi there.

The other day, I said some nice things about Twitter and the avenues for communication it offers.

The thing to remember about Twitter is that’s all it is.  An avenue for communication.

Earlier today, I posted a note about how the publisher of my book sent me a note that . . . → Read More: A Brief Moment Of Self-Indulgent Grousing

Cash Cow

By Jerry Wilson, on March 29th, 2009%

The news that the CEO of General Motors has quit under de facto orders from the White House should be bothersome to everyone.  Whether Rick Wagoner had performed so badly he needed to go is a decision not only best left to the employees and shareholders of GM, it is solely their prerogative, not that of . . . → Read More: Cash Cow

You Don’t Know How Beautiful You Are Unless Someone Tells You

By Jerry Wilson, on March 28th, 2009%

Earlier this evening, Mrs. Dude and I went to see 4·4·1 play at the church to which the band’s drummer belongs to commemorate their release of a new CD (yes, MP3 generation, people still manufacture actual physical product for the purpose of storing for playback recorded music… but I digress).  The advantage of a built-in audience . . . → Read More: You Don’t Know How Beautiful You Are Unless Someone Tells You

Aw, Twit

By Jerry Wilson, on March 27th, 2009%

I’ve been spending a lot of time on Twitter lately.  For the uninitiated, Twitter is a social networking Web site enabling you to follow the messages, or tweets, of whomsoever you please.  They in return can follow your tweets.  You can mark a tweet to someone’s attention even though everyone else can also read it, and . . . → Read More: Aw, Twit

The Doldrums

By Jerry Wilson, on March 26th, 2009%

I had a hunch this would happen.  The book’s done, it’s been sent to the publisher, I now have time to write all the things I’ve been setting aside while the book was in process…

… and I can’t string three words together.

Maybe I really do need . . . → Read More: The Doldrums

How Not To Be The Better

By Jerry Wilson, on March 25th, 2009%

The first tenet of the blogging evangel states the ability to broadcast ones opinion neither elevates nor validates said opinion.   Or, for that matter, the person holding said opinion.  It does, however, provide exquisite opportunities to show your ass in public by acting like one.

The latest example of lower cheek exposure on the blogosphere comes . . . → Read More: How Not To Be The Better

Let’s Throw This Out There

By Jerry Wilson, on March 24th, 2009%

Only a mildly political mellow rant this morning, hence no need for…

Danger Will Robinson!

Political rant ahead!

Actually, I was looking for an excuse to run the graphic again.

Anyway, Wall Street is currently going ga-ga over the Obama administration’s plan to purchase toxic assets (i.e. bad loans) from banks, thus freeing them from debt burdens ranging from heavy . . . → Read More: Let’s Throw This Out There

Playing The Martyr, Playing The Fool

By Jerry Wilson, on March 23rd, 2009%

Picking up from yesterday:

There are few things easier than playing the martyr on the Internet.  It’s a simple process.  Say something controversial.  Draw attention to it.  Get someone else attacking you for what you said.  Point to said person with one hand and your “wounds” with another while crying out to those who agree with you . . . → Read More: Playing The Martyr, Playing The Fool

Because, You Know…

By Jerry Wilson, on March 22nd, 2009%

In the NASCAR world, there’s a blogger named John Daly (no, not the golfer) who writes the ever-so originally named The Daly Report.  His shtick is using his claim of decades in the broadcast journalism field as a basis upon which to offer tedious critiques of assorted network NASCAR broadcasts.  Because, you know, he’s worked for . . . → Read More: Because, You Know…
