Before you start making up your list of new year’s resolutions, think about last year’s.

“Tune In, Turn On, Talknet.” Or, “Rediscovering Bruce Williams.”
I was always a fan of talk radio. Call me strange, but that’s not news to me! I remember being in my early teens listening to WARD-AM in Pittston, PA and the local talk programs with Rob Neyhard, Jim Ward, Sam Liguori and Ed Wallison.

“Google Drive or Dropbox?” Or, “All This Talk About Clouds Makes Me Wish for a Sunny Day.”
When it comes to computers, I’m a Mac guy. I gave up the unforgiving Windows environment long ago after one of the all too frequent “blue screens of death” wiped out a good chunk of my day’s work. It was pretty easy saying goodbye to the OS I used since… Read More "“Google Drive or Dropbox?” Or, “All This Talk About Clouds Makes Me Wish for a Sunny Day.”"
“If I Won the Powerball, I Would…” Or, “You Have to Play to Win!”
Facebook has been pretty crowded today with people posting pictures of their Powerball tickets and promising to share their winnings with those who “like” the post. It’s a very generous offer.

“Hip, Hip, Horray! Cyber Monday is Here!” Or, “Memories are Made of This.”
Well, it’s Cyber Monday. Are you excited yet? Probably not. After all the hype centered around Black Friday and stores, both online and off-line, setting one-day sales records how could today possibly be any better?

“It’s Thanksgiving!” Or, “A Premonition of the Day Ahead.”
For as much as I wanted to sleep in this morning, it just wasn’t going to happen. No, I didn’t want to wake up early in order to watch the Thanksgiving parade. My biological clock just happened to say, “it’s Thursday, get your fat ass out of bed!” Not wanting… Read More "“It’s Thanksgiving!” Or, “A Premonition of the Day Ahead.”"
“Saying Goodbye to the Twinkie.” Or, “Hostess Gets Baked by Irresponsible Union Leadership.”
Archie Bunker’s lunchbox just got a little lighter. 18,500 workers at Hostess bakeries across the country are out of jobs today thanks to the union that was supposed to protect them. The company that brought us such iconic brands such as Twinkies, Hostess Cupcakes and Wonder Bread was forced to… Read More "“Saying Goodbye to the Twinkie.” Or, “Hostess Gets Baked by Irresponsible Union Leadership.”"

“Free Speech + Chick-Fil-A = Goodbye.” Or, “It’s Just Chicken.”
My mother always said, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, keep your mouth shut.” Too bad I never listened to her. I think I still have the welts from the wooden spoon to prove it. One of the great things about living in America (in case you’re struggling… Read More "“Free Speech + Chick-Fil-A = Goodbye.” Or, “It’s Just Chicken.”"
“Remember Anthony Weiner.” Or, “Five Tips to Prevent Social Media Embarrassment.”
I was sitting at home watching re-runs of Wonder Woman when I asked myself, “Should I post the picture of me drinking Jägerbombs with scantily clad Latvian prostitutes on Facebook?” I pondered it for a moment, then decided they would be better suited for Twitter. With the advent of social… Read More "“Remember Anthony Weiner.” Or, “Five Tips to Prevent Social Media Embarrassment.”"
