You've found the blog of Jere Matlock, a web designer and writer. This journal is mostly about writing, web design and getting sites to the top of the search engines (SEO is my business). It is also full of opinions and observations about pretty much everything. If these things are not of interest to you, feel free to go now. Go on, shoo!

Still here? If you have something to say, post a comment or send me an email.

By the way, if you feel like taking offense at something posted on this site, go right ahead, it won't bother me a bit. Kingsley Amis has a nice quote about that, in which I take solace and some pride when the flames arrive:

"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."

Tom Cruise is #1 Movie Star in the World

Forbes has a short article here about Tom Cruise being the #1 movie star by income. War of the Worlds last year was good for him, so was MI3 and his infamous couch-jumping enthusiasm on Ophrah, and his hooking up with Katie Holmes and having baby Suri has all helped propel him to super-stardom in the movie industry, ahead of — oh, yeah — everybody else! So, maybe he’s not your cup-o-tea, but he’s already won the biggest popularity contest on earth. Twice (he did it before in 2001). They have a paragraph on there about him being over-exposed — what do you expect when you’re the top movie star in the world? On a recent trip to Virginia, I saw his face on half a dozen magazines at once. So yeah, he’s a bit over-exposed but isn’t that a nice problem to have?
