Just defending my fellow DePauw grad. I actually got to meet him briefly while at DePauw. Behind the scenes, very at ease. But when speaking publicly, very stiff.

Hey Mike, good to hear from a fellow Michigan City man. I learned to drive a stick by the prison, worked at the outlet mall, and won money at the casino. However, I have to call you out on the QuaYle thing. If you're going to insult the man's IQ, ...

This are hilarious. I hope you're tweeting them, too. One of the things I love about Hoosiers is our ability to laugh at ourselves. You guys are a big reason I'm continually amazed and proud to call #Indiana home.

Top 10 Rejected Slogans for Indiana

So last night, a friend of mine, Amy Stark, put out the word on Twitter to hashtag Indiana to see if we could get the Hoosier State on the Twitter map, so to speak. So I did it the best way I know how and that's by compiling a Top 10 list of terrible terrible slogans for my beloved home state. I got great responses from the Tweet-o-sphere so I thought, why not put the whole list here for all to enjoy. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these nuggets.

9. #Indiana: The state th… Continue

Home Security... How much is too much?

With burglaries on the rise, we have seen an increase in calls from homeowners. In many cases, either they or their neighbors have suffered a burglary. In others, they just saw a report about the trend on the news. Whatever the case, in this post, I'll deal with people who have been in their homes for a period of time but are just now considering the isssue of Home Security.

And while things like window latches, proper landscaping techniques, and outdoor lighting all contribute to this subject,… Continue

Tis the season...

In case any of you missed this item, it appeared in the IBJ Email blast yesterday. For those of you in Hamilton County, especially, you'll want to read this, but I suspect that most Indiana counties are experiencing a similar trend:

Robberies on upswing in northern suburbs
Northern Indianapolis suburbs are seeing a rise in thefts, with the greatest increases coming in Hamilton County. They include hikes of 29 percent in Carmel, 23 percent in Fishers and 17 percent in Noblesville. The figures… Continue

Fire Safety During the Holidays

With the holiday season barreling down upon us, it occurred to me that this would be a perfect time to bring up fire safety. While residential fires increase steadily as the temperature falls, the three-day period of December 24-26 is a particularly dangerous period from a home fire standpoint. According to the United States Fire Administration fire deaths, injuries, and dollar loss increase an average of 50%, 61%, and 43%, respectively. But… Continue

Ahhhhh Trick or Treating!


One thing I really miss about my childhood is Trick or Treating. And back in the day, we did it right. None of this start at 3, end at sundown, mom and dad in the minivan crap. My buddy or my brother and I would head out AT sundown and go until we could walk no further or until our ba… Continue

Thanks for the welcome! I loved the movie line from Bob and shared it with friends. Very funny, but I was raised a Democrat, felt like a traitor voting for Reagan, but am a pro-lifer, pro-free enterprise, pro-marriage of 1 man and 1 woman, so can't take a chance on anything that opposes those values and REALLY can't take a chance on anything that smacks of socialism. Live in America? Get a job, pay taxes, and live with your ambition of lack thereof and get rid of the entitlement thinking. Pitiful, negative campaign, I agree. Realize, presidential candidates cannot promise ANYTHING. Congress legislates. Have a good day!

Nope, didn't know about Jonathan Coulton or his music (although I'm downloading it now). So just to be fun, I went to Amazon and did a search on "Code Monkey". There is a ton of stuff out there... Anyway, thanks for the morning diversion.
