The Trifling blog is morphing to become a more effective tool for you, my reader. Yesterday this blog was just the place you went to check the weather, get stock quotes, and see your credit score; now we have added additional functionality. Notice that the word f u n c t i o n a l i t y begins with the word fun. This will be an important concept later.
Those of you that have been following the travelogue section no doubt know that we have reached our primary destination: Santa Barbara, CA. But some of you may be wondering “what next”, or at very least….why?
The answer to both these questions astonished reader, is economic theory. The locational theory states that the success of any business is based on 1) location 2) location and 3) location. This can apply to the individual as well. Yes, I have moved back to California to seek my fortune. I am fit and fin and ready for bear. And while I have no idea what that means, it does fit nicely with the Bear motif on the state flag.
Why do I tell you all this? More information than you could possibly need/and/or/want? This is where the telethon portion of our program begins. Because I need your help. If you (and you know who you are) are a friend, or acquaintance of Don Warrick - author of the Trifling Blog and you have an uncle in the diamond business in Antwerp and he needs a right hand fellow to run the illegal diamond trade….well you get the picture. All offers of legitimate employment will also be considered.
This year our telethon features new video footage under the “video” tab. An excerpt from a video that one of Don’s students made in a shameless ploy for extra credit. He is now using it as a shameful self promoting commercial. Disgusting. But these are the lengths he is willing to go to.
There are also new tabs for my business resume, cover letter and stageography (a nice word that I just made up. Hmmmm, impressive)
Don’s book “Me-Mail – the big book of geek consciousness” will be available in the lobby after tonight’s lecture. Please have exact change ready.
