Answers For The Fourth Of July

Better late than never.
Jim Riley’s got two questions.  First:
If you were going to go on a spur of the moment trip to Argentina, what would you do there?
Hike naked in the mountains.
Then:
What do you think of the new rock supergroup “Chickenfoot”?
I actually had never heard of them before you mentioned them but checking out their [...]

Questionable Content

It’s Wednesday!
If you’re feeling saucy enough, ask me questions and I’ll answer them. Maybe you want my opinion on something. Or maybe you’re wondering my philosophical feelings on pie. I dunno, toss me a bone and let’s see what happens.

Taking Questions A Day Late

.!.OK, so it’s not Wednesday but so what.  Ask me a question and I’ll give you an answer!  Good times!

Desperately Seeking Questions

Every now and then I take Wednesday and make it “Ask Jason Something Awesome!” day.  I think I’ll make this one of those Wednesdays:
If you’re feeling saucy enough, ask me questions and I’ll answer them. Maybe you want my opinion on something. Or maybe you’re wondering my philosophical feelings on pie. I dunno, toss me [...]

Unionizing America

Jeremy has a serious question, actually:
Nice look! I need to make my blog simpler without sacrificing the aesthetic.
Thanks. It’s temp but I’m always a big fan of simple designs. Just don’t think I have the meat in my content to really justify it.

My question is: what’s your opinion on the Employee Free Choice Act?
I am [...]

It’s All About Looks With You People!

Gonzi asks:
When did J’s Notes change its look?
Sometime over the weekend.  This isn’t going to be the final design.  I’ve been meaning to do an overhaul and this is just a temporary design to force me along because I’ll look at this and go, “damn, I really need to get on that” and come up [...]

Jim, Like Everyone Else, Wants To Be Cool Like Me

Jim Hoeft wonders:
How can I be cool like you?
Here’s the thing about “cool”, Jim.  Either you’ve got it or you don’t.
The trick among us born cool is turning that “cool” into “awesome”.  And here is where you start finding the real movers and shakers in the world of cool.
So how does one become awesome?
That’s a [...]

Gimmie Your Best Shot!

More Popular Than NBC12, Not Quite As Popular As Mayor Jones

RichmondWiki is neat.  I like the idea of creating an encyclopedia of Richmond and others being able to give their takes and bits of info they know as well.  I’m not sure how successful it’ll be in the long run of providing a good history of Richmond, but it’s already shaping up to be a [...]

What Are You Thinking?

In typical Wednesday fashion it’s your turn to give J’s Notes some content fodder:
If you’re feeling saucy enough, ask me questions and I’ll answer them. Maybe you want my opinion on  something. Or maybe you’re wondering my philosophical feelings on pie. I dunno, toss me a bone and let’s see what happens.

One Post To Answer All The Old Questions

So I did this whole “ask me stuff” thing back right before Christmas.  And I didn’t answer any of the questions then.  I’m awesome.  I might as well get to them now.
Pablo was first:
What do you believe, what are you sure of and don’t you give a shit about?
I believe in the inherint goodness of [...]

GA and Telephones

Crystal Clear Conservative gives me a two-fer:
What are your thoughts on the current General Assembly session? Do you think transparency legislation will pass?
Oh, and another question that is non-political: Which do you prefer BlackBerry Storm or iPhone?
Thanks,
C3-Crystal Clear Conservative
First off, so far so good on the General Assembly.  They haven’t surrendered to the [...]

You Can Call Me Nanerpus, Nanerpus

Olivia mentions my favorite Super Bowl commercial:
What is the banana/octopus percentage ratio of a Nanerpus? Is it more banana or more octopus? And does it taste like chicken?
It depends on which Nanerpus you’re studying.  The Southeastern Nanerpus (nanerpusicus southeasternicus) is about 70% banana to 30% octopus while the White Nanerpus (nanerpusicus crackericus) is only about [...]

A Boy Named Sue

Jay asks:
J:
I want to sue somebody…but don’t I need a reason? Would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Jay
Jay, there are plenty of reasons.  Look outside.  See that person walking down the street?  Say something to them.  Watch their reaction.  Then get offended.  “What’s that supposed to mean, ‘ good afternoon’?”  And then start screaming [...]

What’s On Your Mind?

It’s Wednesday so ask me something!
If you’re feeling saucy enough, ask me questions and I’ll answer them. Maybe you want my opinion on  something. Or maybe you’re wondering my philosophical feelings on pie. I dunno, toss me a bone and let’s see what happens.
Maybe I’ll even answer the questions I didn’t answer from last time. [...]
