Missile Aneous

I would like a white iPhone 4…on Verizon.  Let’s see if anything of the like happens.
Arcade Fire’s new album is the best of the year by far at this point.
I really like the latest Tokyo Police Club album.  New band, good digs.
Starcraft 2 is still a ton of fun.  Less addictive now though.
Work is getting [...]

Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughter House Five

It’s good. It’s damn good.
Vonnegut is new reading material for me, but I have to say that his voice is distinct and welcome. You can tell something is different with his style almost immediately. This book is about war. It’s about human beings and how silly we are.  Something there is [...]

Transitions

Life is really a series of transitions. It takes time to understand them and it’s quite easy to drift through them without even noticing too. This is certainly one for me. Work has been consuming a huge amount of my time and so you may have noticed that writing has not been [...]

Everything Is Borrowed

I just started Slaughterhouse Five and in the opening pages, Vonnegut imbibes a detractor.  The detractor asks him about his book, which is against war.  Vonnegut is noncommital, to which the detractor states, why not write a book about glaciers?
The point is apparent that glaciers are not going away, and that writing a book about it [...]

First Day of My New Career

…is in the books.  It was a good day and it feels great to be working again.  Although I will admit to being quite tired after the day and thinking that I need to get more sleep.  :-D
There is such a gargantuan amount to learn and it seems like it should happen fast, I need [...]

Steppenwolf

The first book read on my trip was Steppenwolf, a book by Hermann Hesse.  Written in early 20th century Germany, it spends a great deal of time wandering the endless corridors concerning a thinly veiled pseudonym of a protagonist, Harry Haller.  The alliteration can’t be the only similarity to the writer; it’s said so many [...]

Sports Related Television

It has been six years since television was functional in my home.  Being a time and cash crunched student most of those years, it just seemed like a luxury that I could give up.  Most television shows don’t really catch my attention (with some choice exceptions) so it really worked well.
The biggest issue for me [...]

Commentary & Voices

When you consider writers, there are some very distinct types.  There are fiction writers, who openly acknowledge that what they say is falsehood and imagination.  They embrace that and let people know.  When you consider nonfiction writers, it opens up a lot of different avenues for interpretation.  ”Nonfiction” as a genre is supposed to be [...]

Failure, Repetition and 500th Post

This is the 500th post of Redmarketer.  That’s not bad in my opinion.  It took a little under 20 months to get here and I’ve learned a lot about the web and marketing since then.  But there is still so much more to learn about.  I think about SEO and how to improve my ranking [...]

Reading More Than Writing

I’m playing catch up from time away, with roughly 500 posts in my RSS, 15% of which I fully intend to give decent time and read thoroughly.  I have to get all my pictures posted (or at least a good fraction of them as there are roughly 600 to pick from.)
There are multiple things to [...]
