Monday Night Open Thread

Posted by on

Baseball season is over. Playoffs begin. Time to look back on how your team did (or is doing, if they made the playoffs). But right now, I’m looking way back.

I recently found out that Jackie Robinson wasn’t the third Black Major League player, but the fourth. I knew about Fleet Walker and Weldy Walker, but not about William Edward White.

So, the first Major League Black player was named White, went to college at Brown, and played for the Grays. Maybe I should say the Grays’ White, of Brown, was Black.

What colorful things do you have to share? It’s Monday Night Open Thread, and that means it’s your turn to control the conversation.

What’s on your mind.

Looking for Professional Opportunities

Posted by on

Because of some recent developments in my personal life, I find myself in need of more remunerative employment.

So, short version:

For 5 years I worked at Westwood One as the Digital Content Manager for 3 different nationally syndicated radio talk show hosts (Fred Thompson, Doug Urbanski, and Dennis Miller). Basically my job was to make them look good on the internet.

If, during the course of your activities, you hear of someone who is looking to make someone or something look good on the internet, please pass my name on to them or their name on to me, because I’m looking for opportunities to be useful.
