If you could

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday,

If you could do A, would you do it?

Today is Tuesday 01/15/V3.3 & it is a hit after hit after hit kinda day.
So last night the batteries expired on Windows Media Center remote.

To be honest, I’ve had the batteries in there since MMVIII. That is a good run for a set of default batteries that the products come with.

So I’ll be A. Checking my drawer for batteries, B. Buying new batteries, and/or C. Use my wireless mouse (the other one) to control the program.

So that’s the next challenge.

Last night I was elected Vice President of the Joslyn Castle Neighborhood Association. With this title comes no additional responsibility as long as Rob is there. I love helping out my neighborhood.

I’m watching the State of the State address live via the Omaha World-Herald. I don’t/won’t have a review until later in the day. Thanks Dave for all your hard work over the years. Glad you are still the Governor of the State of Nebraska.

The word of the day is vertex which is the highest point of something; apex; summit; top.

Today is my off day, as I have a double to do tomorrow. I’m going to relax for the next two hours.

@KETV

Good Evening Happy Monday,

*fair warning* the following blog entry is a rant.

So I noticed that I wasn’t getting my alerts from KETV today. YES I follow all 5 Omaha news outlet on twitter. Their posts come to my phone. As a involved citizen I wont to know whats going on in Omaha. Twitter is 1 way of doing that.

I do engage the news outlets from the ones in the 681, other localities, regional, and national news outlets. Engaging includes RT, praising, critiquing, mentioning the organizations, and their staff and employees.

Now ever twitter user has the right to follow, unfollow, block, and unblock other users according to twitters TOS. Now if Billy Street of Pine Bluffs wants to block, unfollow me that is fine. Billy is a private citizen and can do what he wants without a peep from me.

NOT that I have EVER blocked anyone, or unfollowed them (unless they use unsavory language). If you choose to do it, thats fine by Vernon J.

NOW if you have a public account and you block me, I can A. log out of my account view your profile. B. Open a incognito window and see your posts. So blocking me does you no good.

It does 1 thing. It puts you on my radar Im not going to hold back names or entities.

I’m not going to ask you to unblock me, cause that’s not what I expect.

But if you are Omaha’s Favorite source for locals news, weather, and sports you should allow people to freely engage you respond on these platforms.

Thank YOU!!

Know More

Good Morning & Happy Sunday,

When you read & when you listen you will know more.

Today is Sunday 01/13/V3.3 & it is the 13th day of the 13th year of someone born in MM.

I had a good weekend & excited for what happened.

The word of the day is eurhythmic which is characterized by a pleasing rhythm; harmoniously ordered or proportioned.

I started this blog entry at 10.14, but then I had Church, meeting at the Church then work. Since I don’t have my Galaxy Note II it is hard to do a proper blog post via my Samsung Epic 4G.

I’ve got nothing else, about to enjoy the show.

Quotes from the World for Friday 01/11/MMXIII

Tomorrow in the offices the year on the stamps will be altered;
Tomorrow new diaries consulted, new calendars stand;
With such small adjustments life will again move forward
Implicating us all; and the voice of the living be heard:
“It is to us that you should turn your straying attention;
Us who need you, and are affected by your fortune;
Us you should love and to whom you should give your word.”

Philip Larkin
Philip Larkin (1922–1986), British poet. “New Year Poem.”
