lazy afternoon

jackson should be home soon and her friend is cooking dinner and i am lazier than ever, bad me, blah blah blah... sure, that's great incentive to read this entry, aye?... well, it's a back entry as you may have guess cuz it's tomorrow now and we are catching up and i didn't want to cheat july since the stats are fun to play with and july was really enjoying the flood of entries {even if you might be wondering wtf so many why?} so what else is new (i am so hungry... forgot to eat cuz of the unexpected visit, earlier than planned... hey, but i am getting served so all is good lol)...

watched olympics and sports switching through the channels and we agreed that #NBCFail continues, nbc is is really surprising me with how poor their coverage is... the obvious flaw is the pretense that nobody knows the events happened hours earlier and anyone connected to the internet (as many millions are) already know the results, but there is manipulation (maybe not deliberate, maybe just poor technical skills) of views (diving, swimming, especially, but other production qualities are poor too) and the entire production across all channels it is disjointed and poorly planned... they obviously were not prepared for (maybe not even aware of) the internet age and the awareness of many viewers... the announcers even miss a lot of subtleties within the sports and they are sometimes distracted (maybe by some 'helpful copy' and miss what is going on in the games, so nbc they did a poor job of selecting commentators and are doing a poor job of feeding them information during the broadcasts)... overall there is an old school presentation that insults the intelligence of the internet educated audience... there are probably plenty of older viewers who don't notice, which they will use to get praise and justify their incompetent production, but they are showing that for sports, at least, they dinosaurs... and i'm not even mentioning how matched FOX News with arrogant abuse of power to manipulate the news as they had a british reporter banned from twitter because he was critical of the nbc production... hope my blog does not suddenly disappear now that i expressed my opinion of how #NBCFails)...

meanwhile, here at home in the real world, on to a fun evening :)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
