Random ruminations posted irregularly. You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine. Monday, June 16, 2014. What if Big Brother isn't all that smart? Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving. Here's a positively frightening statement to consider:. I read the article. By making out shopping lists and talking to mum on the phone. How on earth could you trust an organization that would stoop to constant monitoring of personnel? Columnist, so...

Random ruminations posted irregularly. You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. I swear I've heard this story before. Oh, that's right, I have – 4 years ago. Cleveland fans did not take it well. I wasn't planning to write about this, since the glorification of LeBron was everywhere and why add to it, even with criticism? You can swim...

Random ruminations posted irregularly. You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. The Reality of the Internet. The internet is not a community; it is a mob. Back in 2005 (geez, I've been writing this for that long? I offered my opinion of so-called internet “communities”. Well, nothing that has happened in the intervening years has changed my opinion. In fact, the internet has lived down to my expectations spectacularly. What, dating sites aren't good enough anymore?

In fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally. So it's perfectly fitting that he be elected. What is a bit galling though is that everyone, including Guy, are proclaiming him as the “ first punter”. None other than Yale Lary. Of the Detroit Lions. Links to this post.

Gog's Blog: Rheta to the Rescue
http://thegogblog.blogspot.com/2013/08/rheta-to-rescue.html
Random ruminations posted irregularly. You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine. Saturday, August 24, 2013. Rheta to the Rescue. I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: fear of eggs, say, or fear of butter. Most doctors feel that you can have a little bit of everything. Rheta Grimsley Johnson is one of my favorite columnists, but recently, I do believe she went a bit off the rails in her defense of Paula Deen. Y'all let me know, y'all." A s...

Random ruminations posted irregularly. You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine. Thursday, December 22, 2005. The Fallacy of the “Internet Community”. O Lord, help me not to despise or oppose what I do not understand. This is more hooey. So what about those Internet communities? Now, if you're waiting for the punchline, whereby I magically solve the problem of humanity's inhumanity to itself, you're going to be disappointed. Well, probably not all that disappointed, because after all, it...

Random ruminations posted irregularly. You're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine. Wednesday, October 18, 2006. Sound and Fury at Gallaudet. The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins. Back in May, I wrote a little. Frankly, this sounded lame. I figured that had to be more to the story, but I found nothing more informative at the time. Ultimately, the coverage died down, and I lost track of the story until the other day when. 8220;The whole school is speaking now....

The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom. It is difficult to soar with eagles when you work with turkeys. You get the drift. Obviously he was kidding, but he went on and on about it, so I decided I could have a little fun on my part. I sent him the following memorandum:. Subject: In Plant Surgical Procedures.
