Merry Christamas and Happy 2015

Written by Jay Dunn. Posted in General Observations

Hello world! Just wanted to let you know I'm still here. It appears the desire expressed in my last post 2 years ago didn't quite turn out as I had hoped. I still have the interest, but apparently not the motivation. It's a shame too. I can't help but think that if I had just remained vigilant in my efforts to spread the fruits of my fertile mind, the world would be a better place. Oh well, I guess the world will just have to continue to suffer until I can find the time to carry on.

In the meantime, here's to wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. If that offends anyone, tough cookies. As a child of the sixties, I'm still influenced by the Free Speech Movement. For those of you either too young or just don't remember what that is, it's what the radical left once used to battle the establishment. My my my how times have changed. Bye now. Hope to enlighten you next time.

Happy 2013

When you spend 65+ hours a week working with computers, you tend to find some other activity for recreation. So, my website had become neglected. However, I was recently forced to revisit my site when I discovered it had been hacked due to old, un-patched software. It took a couple of days, but I got the content moved to a new format and server.

Now maybe I'll find the time and interest to pick up where I left off and get back to blessing the world with my exceptional point of view. I know there has been a great void in everyone's life since I slacked off, but maybe now I can make a return to my cerebral philanthropy.

To start off, I'll keep it very simple and sincere. I would just like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. Here's to a joyful and prosperous 2013.

Is Buying Lottery Tickets a Waste of Money?

On the radio this morning, they were listing some of the top things people can do to stop wasting money. One of them was to stop buying lottery tickets. Well, here's my take on that. During my 58 years, I have interacted with literally tens of thousands of people and the one thing I can say with all certainty about all of them is that there are at least 2 dozen things a day each of them do that is more stupid than spending a dollar on the chance to win 10 million regardless of the odds. That's all.
