Blogging Star Award


The Blogging Star award was created just this week, by a blogger I have mentioned a short time ago, Skittles. I checked out her blog, Skittles Place after she left a comment here. Skittles keeps an upbeat attitude in spite of the struggles she has faced in life. She celebrated her first anniversary as a blogger last week and a few days before that she celebrated post number 2000. I'm a few posts away from 300.

Anyway the award got around and I was awarded it by Mel Kaye. Mr. Monday Morning Power himself. He asked those who were awarded this honor to spread the love and award this to those whose blogs have touched us in a special way....So...In no special order...

The first blogging star goes to Cleveland Classic Media. Tim does a great job in turning a hobby of his into a great source of information for us Cleveland radio and tv fans.

Next blogging star goes to Ohio Media Watch, our eyes and ears that catches what's happening for those of us that want to know about our favorite media outlets in Ohio.

Now I award this one to Media Matters. Struke uses this blog as a teaching tool for his students.

Northeast Ohio Radio Report gets this one for two reasons: First they show a lot of guts not censoring their comments, and second, they have a link to this blog there.

Once again keeping it local University of Akron Zips blog gets a nod as I have some of those alumni who read this page.

Now leaving the area to award these: First star goes to Pilgrim's Scrawl. Show this off to Virtue, but not during House. Oh, and he lives in New Brunswick.

Being Steve is next on my list, even though he is a Steeler's fan. Just do me a favor. Do something so we can make comments on your blog.

Liquid was awarded the Blogging Star on the same post as I, but because it was either ladies before gentlemen, but more than likely he was awarding the blogs in alphabetical order. Anyway, Liquid, make room in your trophy case for this one. I award my last blogging star to Liquid Illuzion, a blog becoming more and more popular in the Buckeye State.

Now I ask of you the same thing that was asked of me, Spread the Love and award the blogs that impact you the most.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...
