Deliverables Packaged For Use, Not Admiration

    People used to the limelight have an instinct to show their best side.   Movie stars know where the cameras are, where their marks are to stand, and what to say.   Call them a spokespeople delivering emotional content to the emotionally starved.   Emotionally starved? Yes.  

Bob Dylan Time Shift From Second Gear To Overdrive

    Like so many today, I also feel change in the wind, and like any baby boomer worthy of the tag, I consult the only text reliable enough to lay it all out in understandable language.   No, not the Bible, or any religious narratives.   I turn to Bob Dylan, and so should […]

Auntie Pammy Leaves Legacy Of Lennox Lancer Love

  Life transitions can mean so many things. After all other guesses run out, the final life transition is the end. Auntie Pammy’s life ended, but she left a legacy of love that’s hard to ignore.   From the time the news went out I thought of the a meme that said, “Write about what […]

BLOG TRAFFIC: CLICK THROUGH READER CAN’T GET NO SATISFACTION

    Does blog traffic show up unexpected? What makes readers stay and look around once they do find you on accident?   First, it’s not an accident. At least blog traffic shouldn’t be accidental. That’s why we buy and install Genesis framework on a wordpress platform with a News theme from Studio Press.   […]

HISTORY HERO IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR

    As I reflect on a history and pick one history hero, it starts with the yard sign I had posted and now keep in the garage.   Obama and Biden weren’t the perfect match, didn’t get everything right. What they did was put a best foot forward. They proceeded as if they knew […]

SCIENCE EXPLAINED TO THE NON-SCIENTIST

    Some things need to be taken with a grain of salt, some with a whole salt box, but science explained for the non-scientific? Start shoveling, if general comments mean anything.   The Earth Is Not Flat?   Yes, it’s a discussion point, but for who? Who hasn’t seen something called a globe and […]

BREAST CANCER: A MOTHER JONES FACEBOOK POST ASKS IF ALCOHOL IS A CAUSE. WHAT ARE OTHER CANCER CAUSES?

    From motherjones.com:   Susan Sontag once wrote that telling people about your cancer diagnosis tends to fill them with mortal dread. But when I’ve disclosed my illness to friends and told them that alcohol can cause breast cancer, I’ve never invoked enough mortal dread to deter anyone from ordering a second drink. Most women […]

FACEBOOK DATA SALE: KNOW WHEN YOU’RE ON THE AUCTION BLOCK

    Sharing has its drawbacks. Like a literary critic reading a book and coming to a different conclusion than the author intended, we share events and locations and feelings on facebook, and it gets misinterpreted by data harvesters.   Search for a car and suddenly the car you’re searching for shows up on facebook […]

FACEBOOK DATA BROKERS GET DIRTY WITH OUR MUD

    The numbers are too big to fathom. $42 billion loss in market value? 50 million users had their data harvested? All we want to do is post a nice cat picture, not get sucked into some weird vortex of data mining.   Don’t get me wrong, I like mining, but for the right […]

GUN TALK THE WRONG WAY … AGAIN

Raw Story posted a gun column about white men and guns. It was the sort of gun talk white men with guns shouldn’t identify with. “White men stockpile guns because they’re scared of black people and feel inadequate, science says.” That’s the rawstory title. It’s raw, but even more, it’s lazy, but a site called […]
