The Slo-man's alter ego has kept him busy and occupied and the other personalities that live with him have been tied up too. You could argue that that is to be expected and you would be arguing with yourself. However, this post is about feedback, not the kind that Hendrix harnessed so harmonically,…
Yes, indeedy.... that is an actual search term that someone used in Bing to get to this blog! Obviously, I've things to learn. What were they looking for? A picture or a video of a chicken looking longingly at a computer? Or vice versa? WHY? And so they came here, read the Chicken…
BottledWorder is at it again - digging deep into the blogging experience and into the mind of the bloggist. http://bottledworder.com/2013/05/07/electronic-writing-and-the-numbers-game/ I did try the cute kitten trick and it definitely brought an uptick in traffic, so clearly the people have spoken!

Really? No! Just an updated menu to make finding things easier in this crazy, mixed up blog. The blog has so many different flavors, as the two personalities write contrasting pieces. But, while there is no real fruit here, we are happy to announce that yet another personality will be taking up writing…
Books have given me hours of enjoyment over the years. On a recent visit to Barnes and Noble with a colleague, who was on a quest for his afternoon latte fix, we paused to review a table piled high with gloriously bound old favourites. Jules Verne, Lewis Carroll and Mark Twain were represented…
mmmyes! It does exist. This thing that makes your heart beat faster, the brain swirl with random asymmetric thoughts is not a romantic notion created by writers. It exists and is real.
