This is the first year I am trying to start seeds indoors.  Last year I planted seeds outside in trays of  potting soil or directly in the ground, to mixed results.  This season I’m up for trying something new; growing Cherry and Beefsteak tomatoes from seed.   If all goes well I won’t be purchasing any more tomato plants from the local supermarket.  Not that the plants were overly expensive.  $3.00 got me 6 plants last year; this year I bought a seed packet for $0.20.  If you factor in the light bulbs and other equipment, I spent about $20.  Just have to hope the equipment [...] Continue Reading…

Stolen content is a serious issue in the blogosphere.   Particularly for me, since my job at CMF Ads is to approve and deny every blog submitted.    If most of the content is original barring the occasional image or video, I let it slide.  (I’m talking to you, funny cat people).  If the majority of content is stolen, then I draw the line and reject the blog.  However, every so often I get a plagiarizer who submits their blog to  CMF  Ads and then flat out denies they stole any content.   This is one such exchange.

So Jets win and I’m yelling at the TV in disbelief.  I turn on the radio to catch what the local sports talk guys had [...] Continue Reading…

Imagine my surprise when I received the following email message today:
Hi, Turnip of Power.
Turnip of Power (d4lilr) is now following your tweets on Twitter.”
I did a doubletake.  So I’m following myself?  Checking the account of this person showed that they had already been suspended.   In that short time they had managed to follow 13 people.  Hopefully nobody was insulted by this imposter thinking it was me. 

Scorned lover?  Vengeful blogger?  Noob spammer? Who would do such a thing?  A little Googling of the name d4lilr showed I wasn’t the only victim.

Why am I being followed by kadiprescott (d4lilr)? Some dude [...] Continue Reading…
