My First *Best Of* Website Nomination

Yes the title is a bit misleading, for two reasons. First, because it makes it sound like I plan on getting more nominations for a "Best Of" anything. And second, because the nomination is in the "Most Unusual" category. I never really considered the Giant Schnauzer Club of America to be unusual... certainly the website itself is a bit bland compared to the other nominees.

The company hosting the vote is the same company that created the membership software that I incorporated into the website. Maybe one of the decision makers has a giant schnauzer.

Thanks to whoever nominated my website. The number of hits has tripled in the past twenty-four hours. If the website wins, there's actually an award show in Vegas. lol

Another Poorly-Written TV Ad

Sorry about the quality. I recorded this on my phone.



Am I the only one who sees the errors in this? Pizza Hut had a deal where they sold any pizza (any size, any number of toppings, any crust) for $10. Now they stopped that deal to "lower prices". Yet the new deal is still $10 (fail) but no longer for any pizza (double fail).

Oh, and if you read the small print at the bottom of the ad, they will charge an additional fee for special crusts like deep dish or stuffed crust. So much for "lowering the price of every pizza on our menu".

That's two ridiculous commercial errors in one week (See the Michael Bennet political ad). I should be hired as an editor somewhere.

A Proud Older Brother



I just heard some songs from my younger brother and his band's forthcoming album. Wow. They sound great.

I'm really happy for him. Go check out Paul (also known as Augustus) DeVandry and his band, the Hypnotist Collectors at http://www.thehypnotistcollectors.com.



The new songs aren't on the website, but when they are available publicly, I'll put the info here.

Who is Michael Bennet's script writer?

This has been my favorite political ad of the campaign season.  Not because I support Bennet, because I don't.  He's nothing more than a yes man to the Democratic Party.

I love this ad because of the line "When I talked, he listened, even when I disagreed"  (because Ricky disagrees with himself apparently).
