Renovating Promenade Park in Downtown Toledo

I guess this is a taxpayer-funded attempt by Toledo city government to bring back the 1980s and 1990s.

My Oct 2, 2013 comment in a Toledo Talk thread titled Phase 2 of Promenade Park Improvements

Web-based communication and businesses

Excerpts from my Oct 2, 2013 comment posted in this Toledo Talk thread titled Major Appliance Help


"No social scientist would ever think of making conclusions ..."

Maybe not social scientists, but consumers might.

Who is the Appliance Center trying to sell to: social scientists or consumers?

Different S.W.A.T. tactics

Bizarre police styles in recent incidents this month, September 2013. SWAT in Arkansas shoot dead a blind, deaf, 107-year-old man who did not shoot anyone, but the SWAT in D.C. leave the scene of an in-progress mass-shooting.

Stop using e-mail as a collaboration and knowledge management tool

E-mail still has a place in the work environment. E-mail won't go away. But it's amazing how many employees still rely on e-mail for collaboration and knowledge management tasks that would be better suited for even a simple internal wiki Web app.

I'd like to eliminate the overuse by others of writing simple text documents in Microsoft Word or Acrobat (pdf file) and e-mailing them around to each other as e-mail attachments. And I'd like to eliminate their use of printing these simple text documents on paper to read or study later.

What does "mobile first" mean to the media?

If a media org has to ask that question in September 2013, then that media org is already way behind the times and behind their competitors.

Are media org's taking a "wait and see" (decay some more) approach to mobile design?

Toledo Low Power FM Radio Project

September 2013 - Toledo City Paper - Good Morning Lucas County - "Local radio station planning to hit Toledo's airwaves"

"The only criterion that we set early on is that we want this radio outlet to give a voice to underrepresented perspectives. Those perspectives could be musical or social, almost anything so long as they aren't already being done to death by some mainstream media outlet."

Making cultured yogurt

  • setup at 3:45 pm Sep 16, 2013
  • this didn't work. I think the house was too cold, in the mid 60s.
  • will try again.

Activating the Yogurt Starter Culture:
1. Stir one packet yogurt starter into 1 quart of pasteurized milk. Be
sure to fully incorporate the yogurt starter into the milk.
2. Cover the jar with a towel or coffee filter and secure the cover
with a rubber band. Alternatively, you may put a lid on the jar.
3. Let the mixture culture undisturbed at 70-77°F for 12-48hours.

Junco basic blog post form

Simple text area box with "Preview" and "Post" buttons.

The "split" link switches to the enhanced editor view, which contains auto-save and larger typing and preview areas.

The first line will be the title for the post, so no need for a text input form field.
