This is the second one of these I’ve gotten.

An E-mail asking for advertising space on Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com.

From the "OBiden-or-JoeBama, I-can't-decide" Department

The Joe Biden pick for the Barack Obama ticket still puzzles me a little bit.

Here you have a candidate whose entire platform (or at least half of it) is “Change”. The Candidate of Change. The Agent of Change. Hope and Change. Change you can Believe In. Change Change Change.

He’s anti-establishment (Or at least trying to look/talk/act that way.)

Add Joe Biden.

A Purpose Driven Forum

From the "Get-on-your-Saddleback-and-Ride!" Department

I paid little attention to the Saddleback Forum, this weekend, and listened to a bit of the post coverage on Saturday and Sunday.

While I thought that both candidates gave adequate answers to Rick Warren’s questions, I, like most of the media agree, think McCain did a great job to Obama’s Mediocre job. Especially in the light that Obama is supposed to be a great speaker, while McCain is old and worn out; Obama should have danced circles around McCain. (Just like Obama should be beating McCain by double digits in the polls, and not in a dead heat.)

But one of Obama’s answers stuck in my craw:

From the "Buggles, and-other-pieces-of-Trivia" Department

The latest frustration in the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Vicinity is an issue with the Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com-Debit-Card.

I think I’m just a victim of timing.

From the "The-Dragon-and-the-Bear" Department

Amazing that all these things are related.

I was browsing Google and Wikipedia, and I discovered something.

Guess who is hosting the 2014 Winter Olympic Games?

Sochi Russia
It was a decision made last year.

While the Wordpress upgrade went fine, I’m disappointed in other things.

Bolus of the Day

Filed under: Mindless Banter — Jeremy @ 11:01 AM
From the "Follow-the-bouncing-ball" Department

While this isn’t Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com related, I’ve been “published” so to speak over at Bolus. (An IowaHawk subsidiary.)

Anyways, one of the gimmicks of Bolus is their daily “Ball of the Day” article. Where the article features a famous, or not so famous spherical object (or spherical reference, like Lucille Ball); and they ask for suggestions.

I suggested “Rover” from “The Prisoner”.
