What I'm doing right now

7:07 a.m., San Francisco time: Watching the sun rise over the bay -- and my shoulder.

    For the life of me I don't understand the point of this blog. If you have nothing to say take a day off for crying out loud. This is just pointless and silly.

    Publisher's prerogative.

    If Jim wants to paint his toenails with pictures of the BOD and film them doing the hokey-pokey with a sponge cake, more power to him.

    Our readers will complain too that we run a light story on the front page, pushing some Major News Story to the inside. God forbid that we run something less than News You Absolutely Must Read.

    I know it's partially that our readers identify their paper as their own. But the truth is, unless you are personally aggregating content for your own taste, any newspaper or website you use will have stories you have no use for.

    Sure, you could complain about it. But the rest of us just move on - life's too short to waste it pooping on people.

    Happy new year!

    (PS - Jim, that's what it's all about. http://tinyurl.com/8g67bg)

    5:52 am: I can do a better hokey-pokey than the little girls in that YouTube video you cited, too.

    Well IMO it is stupid. You should change the name to Jim's blog rather than the Gannett blog if this is the way it works. If you"ve got nothing to say, shut up. That way the good stuff like the foundation articles have more credibility. I'm a customer and that's what I think, like it or not!

    I agree with 12:56.

    5:52 - what is your problem? I don't care about your "readers" and wasn't talking to you! It's one thing if there is a story about Gannett I have no use for and another thing entirely if there is no story in the first place. So move on.

    Damn, 8:11 PM and 9:09 PM - Simple solution, don't read the non-Gannett posting on this blog if it bothers you.
    I mean, they're simple enough to identify.

    That's the problem with you editorial people - you think you are the one that knows best what the customer "should" read when you should listen more to customers instead of make fun of them. That's your disconnect with the business side of things.

    And call me a crybaby will you? You guys sure whine enough on the other posts. I'm merely sharing a legitimate customer perspective you apparently don't want to hear.

    I don't mind such posts. A good blog will incorporate elements of the author's personality and personal life. The blog is scarcely flooded with them. I don't understand the vitriol.

    vit·ri·ol (vtr-l, -l)
    n.
    2. Bitterly abusive feeling or expression

    So you see my comments as bitterly abusive? That's just too funny.

    Again, not listening to the customer. And that costs the blog author revenues.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
