http://embracingmygeek.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Embracing My Inner Geek. The barely readable ramblings of a guy with nothing better to do . but write. Friday, February 12, 2010. This is the first time I've returned to this blog since August of last year. I'm not sure why I stopped. I have some ideas. A new job. A new job with really difficult hours. A wedding proposal. A wedding that needs planned. Projects around the house. Other social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter taking up too much time. I think something else has kept me away as well.

I can't believe I actually promised to do a daily post . and it's taken me like 2 weeks to fall off the horse altogether. Well, at least I have a small reason.

Embracing My Inner Geek. The barely readable ramblings of a guy with nothing better to do . but write. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. I have to say that the past couple of weeks have great fodder if I were teaching a journalism class (Mr. Strukel. And it really makes me question where journalism is going. The first big moment, for me, was during the Michael Jackson death coverage. Com apparently became the "go-to" source for much of the breaking developments. There's one small problem, though.

Embracing My Inner Geek: May 2009

Embracing My Inner Geek. The barely readable ramblings of a guy with nothing better to do . but write. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. To both ABC and NBC for saving the two shows I wrote about below. In an interesting twist, the Peacock Network said the outpouring of fan support is what saved "Chuck" (along with cash from Subway in return for what figures to be heavy product placement.).

Embracing My Inner Geek. The barely readable ramblings of a guy with nothing better to do . but write. Thursday, November 20, 2008. I honestly haven't had much to post about lately, but the return of winter brings with it one of my big pet peeves. Namely, people who can't take a few extra minutes to clean snow off of their cards. So, allow me to establish a few do's and don't for winter-time car cleaning:. 6 All of the rules apply even more to those of you who, despite owning garages, still park your veh...

Embracing My Inner Geek. The barely readable ramblings of a guy with nothing better to do . but write. Wednesday, August 12, 2009. How "Not" To Sell Papers. So, in these days of declining subscriptions and revenue, newspapers are doing all they can to get readers. Which makes this sales call from the Cleveland Plain Dealer (to yours truly) almost inexplicable. Let me recreate as best I can:. Hi, I'm calling from the Plain Dealer. (laughs). Before you hang up . No, I'm really not interested. Phil Collins ...
