Blockbuster, the clock is ticking
It has been since my post about my wonderful experience at Blockbuster video.
I’ll update when I hear something back from them. (If you don’t see any numbers, then your Java is disabled.)

Content Is King! Long Live the King!
about 5 days ago - 8 comments
Content is king.
It started with a Tweet by Jeremy Meyers, that said the following:
“Ironically, content about how “Content is King” is not an example of good content.”
I responded with:
“If Content were King, then Pink would have stayed dry.”
I was referring, of course, to Pink’s performance at the Grammy Awards, where she sang partially suspended and More >
Owning My Links

Part of the reason I started noodling with Wordpress was the ability to “own” my own site. Not have it hosted elsewhere, not beholden to anyone else’s whims and limitations. I can do what I want with the template and the look and the feel and the content. I can even move the URL around, More >
Shaking things up

It was time for a new look.
I liked the old look, but there was something about the old “old look” that was missing.
Yet, the “old” old look lacked several features.
This look will get some tweaking in the meantime.

Back in Business – almost

The issue here was a plugin, one that tries to minimize the load on servers by relying on Javascript libraries housed at Google.
The “Use Google Libraries” plugin needed updating, and that new version arrived tonight.
We will return you soon to pithy quotes and unusual perspectives. (Provided you have a computer monitor compatible with the new More >
More Wordpress Weirdness
about 8 months ago - 3 comments
I have diagnosed part of my problem.
The QuickRSS plugin I had active on my site was not playing nicely with the built-in RSS fetch in the Wordpress 2.8 administration panel.
I deactivated the plugin, and that problem is solved.
However, I still have no access to the visual editor.

Temporarily Vanilla

I just upgraded to the new version of Wordpress, and for now, I recommend you wait.
Something funky is going on in the background, so for the time being I bring you Retro-Occam. Plain vanilla theme, plain vanilla plugins.

Why Does Facebook Hate My Wife
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
My Facebook experience is episodic, intermittent, and intense. I really don’t hang there much, but occasionally I get a flurry of requests from a new pack of old friends who have just discovered it and I interact with them a bit. Facebook is not my life.
Recently, my wife asked me to get her started with More >
Cutting Loose

My wife sent me the following in an email:
Superman’s cape has bit the dust! Ryan was spotted with a pair of scissors earlier today and when asked what he was doing replied, “Cutting off superman’s cape” When asked why he was doing this the small human responded, “Because I don’t want him to More >

I’ll cue the Jeopardy theme. Wonder if they’ll respond and – how long it will take them.
Hey, if ever there was a great post to comment on – your praise of their company is it.
However, they could be missing the boat and getting a reputation for *not* monitoring online communication with the clock now running. Certainly they aren’t the only companies not tracking (or responding), but doesn’t Blockbuster want to be online savvy? Their “Total Access Online. Over 70,000 titles.” campaign may just be total access to the product … not the company or employees.
