Some random bits of thinking...
: I've stopped the LoudTwitter push of my Tweets (there's got to be a better word for them) to the LiveJournal. No one was ever commenting on them and they don't serve the purpose I wanted them to anyway. If you're interested in seeing what I Twitter about, you can alway click on the follow link in the sidebar. They were also pushing automatically to my Facebook after they showed up here, so I'm sure my friends there will appreciate not being bombarded with inane musings from me a little less often. (This post will show up at FB, too, but that's not necessarily going to continue too much longer, either.)
: I dislike overt tries to push me to websites from established media outlets such as NPR, major newspapers, PBS' original programming, the Lawrence Journal-World, the Weather Channel, and nearly every other form of entertainment. If you're telling me a story, give me everything. If it's not important enough to include in the main story in your presentation, then a simple notice that there are many 'extras' on your site is enough. However I understand that because I'm a 'liberal intellectual' I'm going to take the subtle hint and check it out if I want to. They have to play to the lowest common denominator, which is lower than ever before. There has to be a way to make Americans 'smart' like our phones, our cars, our technology and all the other things we love to consume.
: I think, therefore I am. Too many people don't, so they simply aren't.
: Teller Part 2 (of 4) is up at
Jason Arnett dot com. Please take about ten minutes on your lunch break to read it and let me know what you think. There aren't any extras, only the second part of the story.
: I walked a little more than 26 miles last week. I feel really, really good again. I need to figure out how I'll get this done in the winter months. Thinking ahead...
