A day at the Orange County Courthouse
If you watch the video until the end, you’ll see the violent, threatening and criminal brouhaha brought on by a totally angry blogger outside of the courthouse exactly as Jane Velez-Mitchell adeptly reported Friday night. SHOCKING! My, my, how the world churns…

The roll of a "die"
J. Cheney Mason is a high-profile attorney. According to his Web site, he is the recipient of many awards from professional organizations for his work in the legal field. No doubt, he has earned them, and I reluctantly place him in the same league as the Johnnie Cochrans and F. Lee Baileys of the world of lawyering, but that doesn't necessarily make it a good thing.

He must have been in the Army before he started to teach because his favorite saying was, "At ease, disease - there's a fungus among us." I think it was an old military phrase. At least once a week, we'd sit in his classroom...

Ladies & Gentlemen... The BEATLESTYX!
I was tinkering around last night. I took the Styx cover version of I Am The Walrus, deleted the audio track, and dubbed in the original Beatles song. This is just a practice shot at manipulating sight and sound in my video editing software. OR WATCH IT HERE

Silly Advertising Ideas
I like to think of myself as a relatively creative type of person. After all, I did spend a good part of my life in advertising and design, and as a child, I drew portraits and painted in oils. Sometimes, I get these brilliantly silly advertising ideas I think big companies should, at least, consider trying....
