According to the Asbury Park Press, the Ocean Fitness Company closed their doors on October 3rd. This was news to some of the gym-goers (and to me) for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is their 20 years of continuous operations and the recent multi-million dollar renovations at the site.

On Sunday, November 25th I purchased a copy of the Sunday Asbury Park Press at my local PathMark store. Every once in a while I like to get a copy of the press for the coupons (I can read all of the articles online for free). The problem? There wasn’t one coupon […]

Over the course of the last few weeks, I’ve been able to reach agreements with a few new websites to be hosted, designed, and maintained by Usable Web Solutions, LLC. I’d like to introduce one of them now, even though there are still a few kinks to be worked out in the overall code.

Believe it or not, it’s almost Thanksgiving Day! At the beginning of this month, I bookmarked an article on CNN.com that I wanted to blog about and I just haven’t gotten around to it until now - so forgive me if this information and my opinions are dated!
Over at CNN.com they posted an article […]

Joe’s Journal just hit 80,000 spam comments. Good grief! What’s the point people?! Why are people still trying to get spam comments on blogs when there are powerful programs like Akismet that prevent this from happening?
Imagine the extra speed and usefulness of the Internet if there were no spam comments on blogs, […]

Earlier today a news brief was posted on the Daily Record’s website that spoke about the increase in students attending county colleges. Below is an excerpt of the release, which I’m sure will be made into a fuller article in the coming days:
The New Jersey Council of County Colleges says there are 158,152 students […]

USA Today had a great article a few days back that talked about the rapidly declining PC and laptop sales in the Japanese technology market. It’s a pretty interesting read so you may want to check it out if you get a few free minutes.
The article makes a great point regarding the growing internet […]

Today’s Daily Record is carrying an article about the Chief Financial Officer in Mount Arlington stepping down from his position. The article is written such that the “story” is how the expected replacement does not have a Master’s Degree nor has she finished the required training classes to assume the position yet. Alright, […]

The folks at MSNBC took a break from producing complete garbage for a change and posted an editorial by Chuck Todd that talked about today’s electorate. He specifically cited the failure of New Jersey’s stem cell research referendum to pass in this past Tuesday’s elections.
His point is an interesting one - what is it […]

This is pretty cool. The other day the New York Times wrote an article about Lenox Hills Hospital in New York City. This is where I was born! Not only was I born here, but both my brothers and all of my cousins (except one) were born in this hospital, too. […]

Early results show that there were no more than 35% of the New Jersey electorate that actually got out there and voted today. You can count me as one of the 65% that did NOT vote today. I did not go to the ballot box in some form of protest - I didn’t […]

Since I haven’t had time to put together a coherent post in the last few days, here are some random thoughts from the last 5 - 7 days. As you’ll see, this is about as disjointed as you can get for a blog entry, but hey - if millions of other blogs can do […]
