When I don't know what to title a blog piece, my mind goes almost immediately to Pink Floyd lyrics. So...that may or may not explain what might be the eventual title of this post.First off, a shout out. I have some amazingly talented friends. No. Seriously. It's ridiculous. Most I've known since Junior High. Some … Continue reading Three Second Epiphany

Tech/Tonic Shift
I can't really believe it's been a whole week since I've written anything in this blog. I'm almost afraid to check my inbox. I don't want to wade through all the emails from the throngs of fans clamoring for my head and 'please, for the love of Todd....when are you going to write something--anything--again?!?!'Fear not.That … Continue reading Tech/Tonic Shift

Click Bait This
There is a recent...not so recent, but in Internet terms recent...trend and it annoys the piss out of me.No. It's not incorrectly using punctuation to keep a blog having more of a conversational tone than--hey...wait. I see what you did there.No. It's click baiting.Somewhere along the way people that host web-sites and companies that have … Continue reading Click Bait This
Sweet Relief
I had my first post-surgical follow-up today. While it was pissing the mini-monsoon on Central Ohio this afternoon, I was in a waiting room. They took an x-ray of my neck and dropped me off in the waiting room.For about an hour.There's a lot that an imagination like mine can think of in an hour. … Continue reading Sweet Relief
