Random musings on a Sunday

Posted on September 11, 2022September 11, 2022 by Jim Williamson

I haven’t posted anything public in ages. it just all seems so pointless these days. No one really cares, so why bother, right? Screw it, it’s cathartic for me, and I don’t care if anyone else reads it or not. So, what’s on the plate today? Me, wondering why all these folks that spend the…

Musings of the day

Posted on February 17, 2022September 11, 2022 by Jim Williamson

Time flies when you’re having fun, or so they say.. I’ve lost 2 years now, and it wasn’t fun.  Covid sucks, so do all the politics surrounding it and clouding peoples common sense. Working from home has been a blessing and a curse. I get a lot more done, both at ‘the office’ and at…

I guess I’ll never understand people

Posted on September 8, 2019September 11, 2022 by Jim Williamson

People get married, and people get divorced. It happens. Sometimes it’s a peaceful parting of ways, other times it’s World War 3.Couples with small children fight over custody, many times with little regard for how those children feel about it all.What people fail to realize is that it impacts their friends too. Maybe not the…

More socially retarded by the day…

Posted on February 12, 2016September 5, 2018 by Jim Williamson

With each passing day it seems our world grows smaller, yet more socially retarded. This past week I was witness to a repeat of something that had happened to me personally a couple of years ago. My youngest daughter, Grace, standing in the dining room with a shocked look on her face.. (I should mention,…

Reading is Fundamental

Posted on January 31, 2015July 30, 2020 by Jim Williamson

Some of my earliest memories involve learning to read. Cuddled on the couch next to my mother, she reading Dr. Seuss, me following along, my fingers under the words on the page repeating each word and memorizing the patterns of the letters that made up those words, with a bowl of Jiffy Pop next to…

Back to the World

Posted on December 22, 2014December 26, 2014 by Jim Williamson

It’s been a crazy few months, and most things written here are locked away, they’re for me, more of a personal journal, not for public consumption. Chad Grimm, the Libertarian candidate for Governor of Illinois, lost of course. I didn’t expect he’d win, but a stronger showing would have been nice. Too many people still…

Disable that GeoTagging!

Posted on August 26, 2014 by Jim Williamson

That’s easy. Metadata Metadata In short, metadata is more data about data. In most common document types, embedded within a file is more information, typically hidden from casual viewing. This hidden data is used by the computer programs to provide accurate processing information, i.e. what version of software was used to create the document, how…

Raise the minimum wage in Illinois?

Posted on August 5, 2014January 21, 2016 by Jim Williamson

Illinois must not impose any minimum wage increase. Businesses in Illinois are still struggling to recover from the deepest recession since the great depression. Illinois’ unemployment rate is stubbornly high at 9.2%, nearly 2 points higher than the U.S. average. Since 1.4% of Illinois workers earn minimum wage, increasing the mandatory minimum would have an…

Half of Illinoisians are ready to move out of state

Posted on May 17, 2014January 21, 2016 by Jim Williamson

According to a recent Gallup Poll, HERE fully half of the people living in Illinois would rather live someplace else. Why is that you ask? I’m sure one of the reasons is that the state is so poorly managed, and is currently 6.7 Billion dollars in debt. How did we get that for in the…

It’s an election year, and the robo-calls are starting

Posted on May 13, 2014January 21, 2016 by Jim Williamson

Even if you are on the National Do Not Call List, run by the US Government’s FTC, charities and political organizations are still allowed to call you on your landline (house phone) I think that’s wrong. You should be able to opt-out of being bothered by those folks too. In fact, it should be Opt-In…
