516 Dead
Just saying. 312 in Combat. Not that I’m bitter, I’m not even Canadian. I find it both ironic and ignorant. Sixty Six minutes if you can stand the strain and I only present the entirety so you can note the historical misconceptions. If you desire a shorter and more humorous digest I suggest Trevor Noah. …

Elevator Pitches Are Not Reality
Sigh. If you’re not in the biz which is show you may not know that your elevator pitch is the five minute sales presentation you make to the mover and shaker who can greenlight the project to which you’ve devoted your life of Mary Sue fandom who happens to be momentarily trapped in a small …

The Jewel Of The Triple Crown
Today marks the 45th anniversary, to the day, of Secretariat’s 1973 Triple Crown Victory, by 31 lengths no less. His 2:24 is the fastest 1 and a Half miles on dirt ever (well, among Thoroughbred Horses with a rider, in which the modern era stretches back 150 years to the first Belmont Stakes in 1868). …

Back Online And As Obnoxious As Ever
So here’s how it goes. I head off on a nice little trip that may or may not allow (depending on the demands of business and family) some extended time period to test new equipment, or new configurations of the same old stuff, that is successful (rarely) or fraught with tension, expletives, and great expense …
