A Pirate Looks at 40

Monday, December 29th, 2008

With all the hubbub of the holiday season, it was (almost) easy for me to forget that I turned the big 4-0 on the 21st.  The more I reflect on it, the more I’m amazed at the number of things that have changed and the advances that have been made in my lifetime.  There’s been [...]

“You’re No One if You’re Not on Twitter”

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

You’re No One if You’re Not on Twitter - JB Walker I guess I was no one.  That’s pretty much how I felt after all the social networking talk at ConvergeSouth and the “Independent Bloggers Conference” this weekend.  It seemed to be a never-ending litany of social networking sites… Qik and Kyte and FriendFeed…oh my…Zimbio and [...]

A Veritable Smorgasbord Orgasboard

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Only had a few things at the fair after coming off of the gyro/loukoumades high at Greekfest.  The deep fried Oreos are ok…but loukoumades are better.  Either way though,  I felt like Templeton the rat by the time I was done.  Of course I mean Templeton as only the timeless Paul Lynde could play him: [...]

The Legendary “My Cat Swallowed Viagra” Story

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

There are actually very few blog posts that I remember or ever care to revisit on a regular basis.  But there is one that I go back to every so often and it still slays me every time I read it. And that would by the “My Cat Swallowed Viagra” story on Greensboring.com Take a [...]

Is it just me…or the weather?

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Let’s see…I go to Green Bay, Wisconin in February…they got an ice storm and a foot of snow on top of it. I went to New Hampshire a few weeks ago….a tornado hits the area where I’m staying about an hour before we get there. Now I’m in Orlando, Florida…and we’re gonna get a frickin’ [...]

Man shot in my parking lot

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

Holy Crap!!! Just found out about this from a neighbor tonight. That’s kind of freeky considering that I’m up at around 5 AM a lot of the time…just not that particular morning.  And I know the white SUV they’re talking about…it’s usually parked literally only a few dozen feet from my bedroom window. Neighbor says [...]
