• Heroes - overly used

  August 15, 2009

  • It seems like the media over the past year or more has been looking for Heroes.  They are looking for inspiration in the extraordinary.  What they have done is take ordinary and call it better than that.  Perhaps they do so to show that ordinary is extraordinary.  Perhaps they do it boost moral.  Perhaps they do it because they do it - in ohter words they follow the trend that someone told ...

• I've been all round this great big nation and i've seen all kinds of offices...

  May 13, 2009

  • Well, in the past month I have travelled to California twice, Washington DC, and am about to head to Indianapolis.  I've had first and second interviews for positions in Phoenix, Little Rock, and I don't even remember where else. Anyone know the secret for turning interviews into job offers?

• I read somewhere, I think it was from Stephen King, the question...

  March 27, 2009

  • I read somewhere, perhaps it was in Stephen King's On Writing, the question "if you can write, why do anything else?"  While I am not a fan of horror, I am a professional fan of Stephen King and I have really enjoyed several of his non-horror stuff (Hearts in Atlantis and On Writing come to mind off the top of my head).I would suspect that many people feel this way.  Particularly ...

• Relativity

  March 20, 2009

  • Wow, this week has flown by.  This morning I was thinking it was Thursday.  Then I realized that March Madness started yesterday, on Thursday.  My beloved 'cats are not at the big dance.  Happens about once every twenty years.  I, of course, do blame the coach.  BillyG is not favored to win any popularity contests in Kentucky.  After all, he's lost more than 20% of his games!  How ...

• And he's got... personality

  March 13, 2009

  • I am trying to write once a week at redroom.com.  My first several pieces were "articles" and my last one and this one are blogs.  I sat down to write today and had no idea what I was going to write on.  I read my last blog and fixed some typo's and read and responded to a couple responses that had been posted.  Wow, I didn't realize that people could actually find my blog.  How ...

• Value

  March 6, 2009

  • Value.  What is it?  Why do things have it?  How does this characteristic associated with one item compare to another item?  Well, David, you are thinking, value is relative.  The value I place in something is completely different than the value someone else places in something.  The value could change for an object due to reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the object itelf.  ...
