My life's been really bland today. I don't care. I've just been letting everything happen without me these days. That's how it is. I’ve more or less been doing nothing worth mentioning, but eh.

That is why, back in the mid-90s, I always looked forward to the postbag and got depressed when all I got were occasional enquiries about working in Switzerland or requests for free gifts. My only fan appeared to be an inmate at a maximum security psychiatric hospital. Then the Internet came along, I launched a bulletin board and gradually a community of normal, sane people began sharing their thoughts and reacting to our content. It is a great feeling for a broadcaster when suddenly you are part of a conversation.

I just posted on "Subjectivity" and social media, and how these should be used as a compliment to objectivity and data when making decisions, or in our cases, proving worth and gaining attention. Maybe it will spark some ideas.
