Fundraiser tonight at Cincinanti’s O’Malley’s
Going back to school full-time these past seven months (with just one more to go!) has been a challenge at times. Luckily, I have had a friend (and family) or three or four who have helped me out in one way or another so that I could make ends meet and attend classes. I am…

Back to Las Vegas
Back in the summer of 2001 I worked as an intern at the Las Vegas Review-Journal. I remember at the time not feeling particularly happy about the experience, thinking the editors could have done more to make my experience more educational. It stung a bit at the time. Yesterday I was looking through some archived…

I just touched an iPad
I just touched my first Apple iPad – and I feel fine. A fellow student in the e-media class I am taking at the University of Cincinnati has a cousin who works at Apple in California. He got himself a 64GB iPad for $300 and brought it to class today. And let me play with…

Only problem was it wasn’t after 8 a.m. – even when the officer handed the neighbor…

The rhetoric has consequences
“Shockingly unfortunate” is how I see how the fervor over healthcare reform devolved into calls for protests at Congressman Driehaus’s, uh, “haus.” I am happy that conservative leaders, including leaders of whatever the Tea Party is (populist), did the right thing and asked their troops to stand-down. The consequences of leading protest chants off of…

Finally. Ross’s Web site is done
I’ll give you this: Me owning a self-storage facility is not exactly what I envisioned as a child when I thought of professions I might like to pursue. Might seem my destiny was already somewhat sealed when Mom and Dad bought the nearly one-acre sized property in Butler County on the site of the former…

Little Stevie Driehaus puppet has Facebook page
The NBC News Chief White House Correspondent and Political Director, Chuck Todd, was on Cincinnati NBC affiliate WLWT-TV this evening with local anchor Todd Dykes. During his short interview he said he is watching Ohio’s First Congressional District contest very closely. He said it will be a bellwether for the entire country, not only on…

My Web site is working again
After about six weeks of pure hosting hell, I can safely say that I am at a host where I am happy, safe and content. Look for more posts coming soon. I can’t wait.
