What are happy and unhappy?

by Bill on July 31, 2009

I had a great blog post yesterday. The only problem with it was that it existed only in my head – I never got a chance to tap it out. Now I’m going to try to recapture the insightful words and astonishingly adjectival ornamentation that so decoratively and mellifluously arranged itself in my skull but [...]

Readers have responsibilities too

by Bill on July 29, 2009

I saw some tweets to a post, The Trouble With Twitter (Melissa Hart, The Chronicle review), and something occurred to me. The essay is another of the many Twitter critiques that, personally, I’m finding a bit tiresome. After reading it, I thought that what it amounted to was, “I don’t want to change.” That’s fine.

Another Facebook flaw?

by Bill on July 20, 2009

I’ve been tearing my hair out with frustration because of a Facebook problem. It’s one that, as I think about it, indicates what I think is a big flaw in their system – one compounded by their indifferent support. I’ve set up a pretty barebones web site for a small business in Saint John, New [...]

What you save in dollars you spend in time

by Bill on July 14, 2009

For my headline to be complete it should read, “What you save in dollars you spend in time because, as you probably know, time is money.” In other words, saving dollars doesn’t always save dollars. I’m thinking about businesses and web sites and social media. The other night I was at an event, talking to [...]
