Readers note: I’ll be employing hash tags after each brilliant observation. Hash tags are the hipster’s way of connoting sarcasm, or implying irony, or providing context. All the Kool Kidz are doing it. #educatingn00bs I continue to be intrigued by the new image being cultivated by J.C. Penney. But I am a little puzzled by… Continue reading Random Thursday – The Weekend Edition

Random Thursday
We interrupt our regularly scheduled non-blogging for this special programming: Had a guy call me today about one of the websites I developed and maintained for a local organization. It hasn’t been updated since I closed my shop last August, and he had volunteered to take it over and bring it up-to-date. The only catch… Continue reading Random Thursday

A few random observations, the primary benefits of which are to give me an excuse not to start working on our tax return: A talking head on The Today Show just referred to the gluten-free nutrition movement as being “glamatized.” Forgive my potential misspelling, but I claim immunity as that’s not, you know, a real… Continue reading Random Thursday – The Friday Edition

Some rambling observations while hoping that my uncle in Salt Lake City who’s a big fan of traditional country music isn’t disappointed when he listens to the latest release by The Little Willies based solely on my recommendation. The following is a purely hypothetical question. I personally know of no one to whom this might… Continue reading Random Thursday

It’s been a while since I inflicted a Random Thursday post on you. Sorry; the vacation is over. I’m typing this on a Zaggmate bluetooth keyboard linked to my iPad. It’s like typing on a computer made for elves. The keys are just enough smaller and closer together to make you think you’re doing a… Continue reading Random Thursday – The Weekend Edition
Random Thursday – The Saturday Edition
The following would make a passable series of Facebook posts, but I’m behind on my blogging quota. Plus, I’ve had literally one or two people (OK, one) ask when I would be updating the Gazette again. We’re planning to attend a charity dinner and dance tonight, and because it’s within a week of Halloween, it’s… Continue reading Random Thursday – The Saturday Edition

I should be working but I’ve scanned and am in the process of retouching 382 photos for a client, an old-school photographer who still does it the old-fashioned way. After a while, the last thing I want to do is look at a computer monitor, so here I am…uh…well…anyway… Looks like we’re headed for a… Continue reading Random Thursday

It’s been a while, but since Random Thursday posts are like falling off a bicycle, I think I remember how to do them: just start typing and let gravity do the heavy lifting. Or is that “heavy dropping”? And speaking of falling off a bicycle, we sort of did that last weekend. Well, what we… Continue reading Random Thursday
Random Thursday – The Wednesday Edition
Random observations while contemplating an age-old question: exactly how much Angel Food Cake is the equivalent of one piece of chocolate cherry fudge cake? Oh, and reader beware. Here there be snark. In large quantities. And possibly *gasp* sarcasm. Think the EPA isn’t out of control? First, they* want to shut down the oil and… Continue reading Random Thursday – The Wednesday Edition

Some sightings around the interwebz while giving a big shout out to the A&M women’s basketball team for thumping the world-class Baylor team and advancing to the NCAA Final Four for the first time in school history. (The only partial downer is that all the quotes I’ve seen have the Lady Bears blaming their loss… Continue reading Random Thursday
