My first Amazon order
Posted at 10:05 am , on February 7, 2018
It’s a thing. On the internet. People have been posting about their very first order on Amazon. Looks like I bought an audio book as a gift for my father eighteen years ago. Reminds me how much I enjoyed Ed McBain’s novels of the 87th Precinct. He wrote dozens of them. Though McBain—which was a pseudonym for Evan Hunter (which was a legal name change, as McBain/Hunter was born Salvatore Albert Lombino)— may also be just as well known for writing the novel Blackboard Jungle, which was made into the 1955 film. -
‘Spiritual Puppy Cosplay Kills Cancer’
Posted at 9:14 am , on February 5, 2018
This is making the rounds on the Internet. Anyone know the source?
‘Spiritual Puppy Cosplay Kills Cancer’ is based on my workphone.
For my landline and my cellphone I get these stories:
- “Holistic Yoga Vibrators Is as Magical as it Sounds”
- “Holistic Vegan Shaming Is the New Feminist Battle Against Trump”
What did you get?

2017 Year in Review in Podcasts
Posted at 10:48 am , on December 28, 2017
A new podcast for me this year, and for everyone, is Pod Save America, the podcast created by former speechwriters in President Obama’s administration. It acts as a tonic or a resistance in the Trump era. It seems to be a successful rallying cry so far for people who are disillusioned at the current government. It is one of the most popular podcasts now. They are even taking the show on the road. It is released twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, which is a little too much for me. I enjoy the Monday ones the best, probably because the hosts are Jon Lovett and Tommy Vietor, in addition to Jon Favreau, who I think do a better job than for the Thursday show when it is just Favreau and Dan Pfieffer. Favreau is usually in the role of setting things up, kind of the straight man, so it is stronger when there are two people playing off him instead of one (and Pfeiffer does have a hesitating way of speaking that isn’t great for audio). Also, as the show develops further, they have to find a way of better integrating the guest interviews with the introductory news punditry round-up: too often they steal the thunder from their guests, and so why listen to their guests?You can find the podcast here: https://crooked.com/podcast-series/pod-save-america/
