Here is a Generic Corporate Ad…a spoof made entirely with stock footage.

MapIndianapolis's The Recession has Driven this Bookseller to Drink Bookstore newest bookstore combines two old friends: alcohol and books.
Books & Brews, which just opened last week, is the work of Jason Wuerfel. Jason has always wanted to open a bookstore, but with a tight economy and businesses fail…
Combining a bar and a bookstore…what an odd concept
Decided to watch the 1994 movie, Radioland Murders. A 19% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was admittedly a farce…but it being over the top was the point.
david.shanske.com is shaping up. Divided the content into two pieces: Articles and Notes. Notes are similar to tweets/status updates. Articles are longer.
This evening, I dwelt(or at least got gas) in the Land of Goshen(New York). I am now ready to recount the exodus from Egypt.
Looking for feedback on this site. Doing some tests to see if I can pull in comments from the major social networks. I’m not the best website designer.
One of the next things I need to work on for my site is the formatting for sharing photos.
Starting in a week, I will be without bread due Passover. Trying to figure out the best food to buy and devour right afterward.
Using this image of a portable toilet I took in London as a test for delivering photos to social media. I wonder if the BBC authorized this.
Soon more networks may try this.
Student loan debt has surpassed the $1 trillion mark nationwide, surpassing credit card and auto loan debt.
How do I get this passed?
If you've ever wondered how much you should tip a waiter, bartender, cab driver, hotel bellman, or barista, look no further.
I’d much rather the price of my meal included paying the server a fair wage, making a tip a true gratuity rather than an obligation.
I’ve Joined the Indieweb Movement
Those of you following me on various networks may have noticed a flurry of different types of posts coming through. Taking a moment to explain this.
I recently learned about the Indieweb movement. Their philosophy is based on the idea that you publish on your own site and syndicate elsewhere. This matches up with the philosophy I currently have.
This site, david.shanske.com, has been here for a while, not doing much, and I’ve decided to try and adopt the Indieweb concept and use it as a place to distribute to all of the various social networks. I also want to get into sharing more, and am making an effort to add content/value.
I’m still working on the formatting a bit. So, there will be some changes to site appearance as I play with the site appearance and organization.
The site currently offers multiple different types of content:
- Articles – longer form content
- Notes – Notes are short content, and I’ve divided them into some types.
- Status Updates – much like what you would expect on Facebook/Twitter
- Photos/Images – Sharing photos
- Links – sharing a link to a website/story
I am thinking about adding some more types as needed. The types are designed to have different display formats, which is why you would see some experimenting each time I post something, as I’m still trying to get it right. I do like to tinker and changes may come.
So, please pardon our appearance. Under Construction…permanently.
Cleaning up the family home post-Passover. Many leftovers, don’t know when I will get to buying bread products.
Spent nearly two weeks working on a new theme from scratch for my site as a way of learning WordPress theme design. Design is hard…still not done yet.
