I have some shows coming up. This weekend and next I’ll be vending at ASSEMBLED and SLAM respectively. It should, hopefully, be a nice weekend so come on out this weekend and see me out by the Mystic River. Next weekend I’ll be in Davis square while Artbeat is going on so there will be lots to see.
Clickie to embiggen the graphics.
I have new stuff and a bunch of new vintage things on offer. Hope to see you there!

Generally speaking, I am not a fan of popular culture, but on occasion I am pleasantly surprised by it. And on even more rare occasions, it shocks me. Not in a bad way, but in the way that you are shocked when you experience a true windfall.
That is how I feel about A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones. The books AND the TV show that they inspired.
Some of these have been kicking around on my hard drive for a while and I think it’s time they come out to play. Some of them are just too good to keep to myself.

Yeah, so I didn’t rant the other day, but this is where I get my rant on. From an article by the AP, courtesy of Boston.com.
That was the title of the email I sent to Petflow.com yesterday morning at 7:45am when I realized that my inbox was inundated and it wasn’t showing signs of stopping.
Before I go on I should probably warn you, this is not one of my rants. This is a story about customer service. Good customer service.
Last week Teri and I found ourselves in the position of needing some things for the office. I made a shopping list and on Monday she did the ordering. Buying office supplies is one of the things I’ve never minded about the various administrative jobs I’ve had, it’s shopping with someone else’s money.
Anyway, who was more surprised than the two of us when we discovered that one of our usual vendors, the one that happened to have the best prices this time, was having a rather odd Gift With Purchase. A casserole dish.

We did this back in April with the Boston Strong memes and as we’ve blogged about this here and here, it’s time to do it again.
We give you, Ding, Dong! DOMA is Dead! memes.
and I thank God for it. It’s been a long time coming, but as a truly great man once said, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
And an oldie but a goodie from SNL.
Enjoy!

There are too many random photos on my phone. So I’m inflicting them on you, internets.
Yes, this is the kind of random stuff I take photos of with my phone. You’re welcome.

I tried for over three years to find a decent job in IT after I was laid off. Looking for work, and generally trying to improve my IT knowledge and skills, became my new job. I went back to school to improve my IT skills. I gained several new certifications, picked up many more books and attempted to improve my skills as best I could. Over three years of job fairs, workshops, endless resume rewrites, countless applications, all sorts of professional and personal networking, honing of cover letters, (you name it, and I did it) but nothing worked. In three years I got less than five interviews. I tried everything. Of course, plenty of people had advice for me on how to find a job. Some was good, a lot was bad, and much of it was contradictory.
