"Elon outbid me." I have been playing around with Twitter, seeing if it is worth it as a marketing tool. I don't spend much time on it, as it's not on my phone so I only post in the morning and check it ones or twice later on. I'm following less than 400 accounts, and … Continue reading Tuesday Tirade: Twitter

Tuesday Tirade: Really? That got by ya?
There are plenty of editors on LinkedIn, so when I saw this on the LinkedIn newsfeed, I shook my head: "Can I have The English Language for $100, Ken?" Do you have any other examples? -Leon
Tuesday Tirade: The Perils of Spring
"That's why I sleep until summer." Spring. If you live where you have snow during the winter, then you know that once it starts to melt, you are in for a treat if you are a pedestrian or a cyclist. I try to cycle on the road as much as possible, but if it is … Continue reading Tuesday Tirade: The Perils of Spring
Tuesday Tidbits: I Refuse
"Buy me a FitBit." I'm not adverse to technology, but . . . I don't have any of the social media apps on my phone. I can do anything I need to do when I get home. I see people staring at their phones, not talking, and it makes me kinda sad. I miss the … Continue reading Tuesday Tidbits: I Refuse
Thursday Tirade: Amazon (yes, them again)
"Hey! It's my day off." Cut and Run After two years of fighting with Amazon (don’t we all?), I finally decided to unpublish my poetry reader magnet from their platform. “Oh, no!” the Amazon executives exclaim. “An unknown indie author—and a poet no less—is taking their free book off of KDP. We are ruined!” [uproarious … Continue reading Thursday Tirade: Amazon (yes, them again)
Tuesday Tirade: Word Documents
"I knew you'd find something." Adding page numbers to a Word document. Does that send shivers up your spine? Induce a feeling of nausea? Make you utter words that you never want to say in front of your mother? Bring on a headache? Cause you to run away screaming or just sit and pull on … Continue reading Tuesday Tirade: Word Documents
Tuesday Tirade: Dollar Stores
"Don't buy my food there. It tastes funny." -No, it doesn't. You're just fussy. If you saw my post on Sunday, you know that I'm disappointed with dollar stores. You used to be able to go in, pick up eight items, and pay—wait for it . . . $8—unless you live in a region that … Continue reading Tuesday Tirade: Dollar Stores
Tuesday Tidbits: New Year, New Purge
"Why am I here, and where is my tidbit?" Whew. I just finished tidying my desk and working area. My first thought was, "Hey, that's pretty nice faux wood finish (Not really. It's a pretty crappy old desk, but it keeps stuff off the floor). My second thought was, "I have to clean off those … Continue reading Tuesday Tidbits: New Year, New Purge
Tuesday Tirade: Bad Writing Sells?
"What? It was a dark and stormy night." I didn't major in creative writing. I will, at certain times, misuse commas, only because there are too many rules, and as much as I try, it is challenging to remember them all. I try not to make my writing difficult to understand. Using more common words … Continue reading Tuesday Tirade: Bad Writing Sells?
Tuesday Tirade: Winter and Cereal
I had a cereal topic written for this morning, but then the local weather person mentioned that it is the shortest day of the year. Great. Which means it will be the longest night of the year. Just as well because it feels like it has been the longest year of the year. They also … Continue reading Tuesday Tirade: Winter and Cereal
