True Confessions: I’m a Blogaholic
Time management. Always a problem. And now? I’m addicted to blogs. The problem? Many that I read religiously annoy the hell out of me. Oh there’s a handful that I heart, but most? Can’t stand. It’s like an abusive relationship. The precious time that I waste on some of my bookmarked list could be better spent doing something I love.
My plan was to save the reading for in the evenings. Never happens. I HAVE to take a peek, not once but several times throughout the day. Am I a blog stalker? O.C.D.? My list needs to be purged. I have the power. The blogs that I have listed on my sidebar I adore, and will add a couple of new discoveries. But the rest of the self-absorbed whining nit-wits on my bookmarked list? Ditch. Must make the break. I need an intervention.
Thank you for letting me share. Pray for my recovery.
Barbecue at Eva Field
Man, that Eva Field was a feeder. Those Marine cooks had an outdoor barbecue pit rigged up and they served the darndest barbecue beef you ever tasted. After the food we had been eating aboard the Yorkamaru (USS Yorktown), that was heaven. We all ate like there was no tomorrow and for some of us, there wasn’t.
YouTomb Where Videos Go To Die
YouTomb is a research project by MIT Free Culture, a student organization at MIT, that tracks videos taken down from YouTube for alleged copyright violation.
YouTomb continually monitors the most popular videos on YouTube for copyright-related takedowns. Any information available in the metadata is retained, including who issued the complaint and how long the video was up before takedown.
The videos are not available for viewing, the goal of the project is to identify how YouTube recognizes potential copyright violations as well as to aggregate mistakes made by the algorithm.

Fred Miller RIP
Fred Miller, longtime KY3 weatherman passed away yesterday in his home, he was 86. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to know Fred well, he retired shortly after I arrived at KY3, but like many other Ozarkers, I grew up watching Fred and had the pleasure of hearing his co-workers speak in the highest regard for this man. He was loved by all who knew him.
