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."

Human Rights day

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Today is offically “blog about human rights day”, and this is my official post about Human Rights.

Here’s a place to read up on what are the basic human rights guaranteed all humans on earth by the United Nations. (Fat lot of good such a guarantee does in most …

APA Convention in Washington DC

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) holds a convention every year where they sometimes vote on whether to make up a new mental illness, such as ADD or ADHD or Math Disorder or similar nuttiness. Every year for the last 40 some years, my friends at Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), the only effective group doing anything as a watchdog on psychiatric abuses, picket the APA convention. This year the convention was in DC, and here’s a photo of a billboard mounted on a truck, that gives the truth about what the APA actually does.

Tom Cruise celebrates 25th anniversary of Risky Business release

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

I admit it, I’m a fan of Tom Cruise. Ever since Top Gun, anyway. I didn’t care much for Risky Business.

And now Tom is back on Oprah’s couch. He’s not jumping for joy this time, but he is celebrating 25 years of being a leading actor in films. In other words it’s been 25 years since Risky Business was released.

Two sites worth seeing about Tom:

Oprah’s slide show

and the new Tom Cruise official site

Very slick videos on that official site.

Have fun! I did. And let me know what you think.
