Mr. Big’s Eric Martin weighs in (sort of) on the creative process.

Posted on April 21, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

I know two things about Eric Martin.  One is, he is the singer/front man/vocal wonder that came into my consciousness with the advent of their eponymous record in the late eighties. Having been a musician/singer nearly all my life, I … Continue reading →

Tuesday’s fodder and ennui

Posted on April 21, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

This week has been a torrential mish-mash of duties, work, caseloads and other bland-to-the-taste side orders of chronological revulsion. That also happens to be a convoluted, fibrous goiter of an excuse to explain why I’ve written almost nothing of consequence … Continue reading →

Thoughts on changing the name of this blog

Posted on April 20, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

I know this is going to come off with the same ridiculous ring of any other “first-world” lament reverberation, but I am now convinced that it is possible to be too diverse; in short, it’s great to have a myriad of talents, … Continue reading →

I’m re-writing my local grocer’s policy manual

Posted on April 18, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

This is my local grocery store. It’s called Safeway. If you live near me, you know what it is. If not, it’s probably foreign to you. It doesn’t matter. They sell stuff, and I go and buy it. That’s all … Continue reading →

Trolling around Barnes & Noble

Posted on April 16, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

I managed to waft back into my own, local Barnes & Noble, just to see just how anemic my choices are.  And for the most part, I was right.  They had not a single title I was looking for, even … Continue reading →

Watch me do a card trick

Posted on April 15, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

So, tomorrow . . . I’m on the road to Sacramento.  I’m going to see Professor John Lennox at UC Davis with a friend.  I’ll explain more about him in the morning, before I head out. Until then, watch my … Continue reading →

If you thought I was going to leave the Kanye West “Bible” subject alone, then you might also believe Tupac is at my house.

Posted on April 13, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

I have no idea why, over the years, I have this reflexive need to mention Kanye West.  But I do. I’ve mentioned him in ways that were in many levels—prescient—meaning “having my thumb on the pulse of a trend so … Continue reading →

Making a promotional intro video

Posted on April 12, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

So, I decided, since some of this blog will also include video blogging, I need some form of recognizable run-up.  And, as chronicled before, I’ve taken to Adobe After Effects to accomplish this.  I’m nowhere near finished, but I thought … Continue reading →

I’ve written stuff so good, I am forced to MENTION IT myself.

Posted on April 11, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

When magician Ricky Jay performs his playing card throwing act, in which two of the cards are thrown into the exact same spot–literally with no space between them, he berates the audience with that same line I use in my … Continue reading →

Onward . . . and upward.

Posted on April 10, 2015 by Ron Giesecke

So . . . I managed to take some “decent” traffic over my ten-point screed about what kind of ne’er-do-well one has to be to get jettisoned from my Facebook brain trust. And by “decent” I mean “not as good … Continue reading →
