Can We Just Stop it Now?

Probably think I'm talking about the railroading of government-run healthcare over the country, don't ya?

Actually, what I would like to see stopped is anything that is "From the Heart."

Follow me on this.

There are a lot of non-professionals, who by dint of the internet, home computers and home studios that are creating their own masterpieces of literature and music without the aid of a publisher. I'm okay with that. Quite okay, in fact. The market will still determine what it wants (and what it wants can get pretty weird).

Still, people need to come up with better titles for their works - and I'm seeing too much of what I referenced earlier.

There's

Poetry from the Heart,
Poems from the Heart,
Stories from the Heart,
From the Heart Productions,
Tales from the Heart,

and I just saw Music from the Heart.

How freakin' unoriginal can you be even if you "feel" like it's the perfect title?

Oh yeah, we also need to do something about this runaway train called the Federal Government, too.

Called the Best 5 Second Video on YouTube

This one makes me laugh every time.

I Guess It's Supposed to be Cute, but...

FairPoint Communications has decided to "bundle" its internet message with a cute, gremlin-like creature called a bundle. Most people probably find it cute. I find it a tad disturbing. See for yourselves:
