| Sites |
I’ve been thinking of simplifying this site by tons. Making it into a one page site that links to all my internet projects and presences. This would either have me abandoning a blog or moving the content to another site entirely. I control several domains, and I like the idea… |

| Writing |
I love writing. I love reading. Few things make me happier than realizing that I can be clever on paper. The perfect sentence is a thing of joy to read. It’s something else entirely to actually produce such words. I love writing. Poems, short stories, letters, site comments, etc. I… |

| Health |
Well, not dying any time soon. This wasn’t exactly in question, but I was thinking it might be. I haven’t been feeling well for a long while now, and it seemed to be getting worse, not better. I was popping cough drops like you couldn’t believe. I’ll be investigated for… |

| Internet Ads |
OK, I don’t really hate ads. I know they are what pay for a site, but I hate ads that look like the graphic I am including here. Sites that tend to have these horrible ads get closed pretty quickly. What sucks is more and more sites seem to be… |

I know where this photo came from, and I know what she was charged with, but I’m not sharing either and I forgot her name (it was under the photo). All I am saying is if you’re arrested you’re probably not having a good day, so you probably shouldn’t make… |

| Goals Take Two |
I couldn’t quite come up with 100. I was shooting for 90 so I could leave myself a few to add later. The goals themselves started to get in the way though, so I pulled the trigger. I was afraid to do anything on the list until I had them… |

| Day Zero Project |
Day Zero Project. The premise, as I understand it, is simple. Pick 101 things you would like to do and then give yourself 1001 days to do them. Some of the things on my list have been there for a long time. 1001 days is just short of 3 years.… |

| Budgeting |
When I get paid and I sit down to start paying bills I am always somewhat excited and stupidly optimistic. By the time I’ve scheduled the last payment I often wonder how I’ll make it to the next check. Perhaps that’s overly dramatic, since I always seem to manage, but… |

| Hello |
It occurred to me I never updated here to say I made it. I’d feel bad about this, but no one reads this site anyway (I know. I have the log files to prove it). This site serves no purpose other than to entertain me. It does that on occasion.… |

| I’m in Surgery Right Now! |
Do to the miracles of the modern internet, I am having a tumor removed from my head as you read this. I could go in depth about the whys of this, but it basically comes down to the fact that I am uncomfortable with it in there. This is a… |

| Sick |
I posted this, then took it down. I’ve since been to the doctor’s so am feeling free to put it back up. Long story short, things will be fine. I’ve been sick lately. In a lot of ways I don’t want to say “sick” since for the most part I… |

| ExpressionEngine 2.0 Beta |
If you’re hoping to read anything about ExpressionEngine 2.0 Beta then move on. I’ve managed to download it and that’s about all. I’m not even sure if their NDA lets me say that much. Ha! One of the problems I have with ExpressionEngine is that it is such a fire-and-forget… |

| Stupid Project |
Sometime ago I started beating up on marketers on twitter. I don’t get them, and I really don’t think they get the medium, so I heap abuse on them whenever I can. I know it’s a quixotic quest, but I’ve been having fun doing it. Check out puppypotpie.com I spent… |

| Books |
I just finished reading Steven Erikson’s book “Toll the Hounds.” I am going to come right out and say it I found this book to be painful. I’m not a fast reader at the best of times, and Erikson is a challenging read, but he’s such a good writer that… |

| Attention Social Media Marketers: |
I’m working on a book with @mindofchester (Anthony Imperioli). There’s that’s it. Almost short enough to tweet. But for the longer version keep reading: As most anyone who follows me online knows I string sentences together like the best of them. I’d call it typing, not writing. I like playing… |

| My jackassletters site |
You can follow the discussion. So far people don’t like the ads on the site, or they are actually interfering with the viewing of letters. So I pulled almost all of them. I like having the ads. Used to be part of the joke. Having “Hooked on Phonics” ads on… |

| Day 10 of a Cold |
I’ve been sick. It’s getting better, but I am sick of being sick. I also managed to get the girlfriend sick. Misery loves company I guess, and does the cold virus. This has allowed me to watch way too many episodes of NCIS, so it’s not entirely a bad thing. |

I threw out an offer (on twitter) to guest post on someone else’s site and was kindly taken up by @weirdenough (Barbara Bailey) and @mindofchester (Anthony Imperioli). Barbara apologized for not updating her site as often as she should, but that just means I get to park on her front… |

Somehow I’ve managed to acquire a twitter addiction. I can be followed @cjorgensen I am also @jackassletters The first twitter stream is just my personal updates, and since I tend to live the same day over and over again (I’m not complaining) it doesn’t get much updating. The second stream… |

| Man of God |
I am no man of god, but of broken glass and past tragedies. More truth than lies fall from these lips. I would lie to you if I could. I would tell you of love that is not, and sins uncommitted, damnation kisses, and whatever you needed to hear. I… |

| New Year’s Resolutions |
I’m not really one for making New Year’s Resolutions, but I have been thinking of trying to create a list of around 100 goals. Some short term, some long term, with the objective of having them all doable within the year. So things like paying of the mortgage won’t make… |

| National Novel Writing Month (November) |
I’ve been wanting to try this for a while, so just signed up. My username is cjorgensen (unsurprisingly). I also fired up a website somedarkplace.com where I intend to try to do the whole process online, but don’t hold me to that. I haven’t figure out the best way yet,… |

| Too Good |
Americans are 90 to 1 against the bailout. Surprisingly this number crosses party lines. You know you’re doing it wrong when no one likes the idea. The family share of the bailout is $10,000 dollars. Not only will this negatively impact the dollar in the short run, we have to… |

| Hi There! |
Seems that lately all I’ve had a chance to do is remove spam from my sites. Actually writing in them seems out of the question. I went to the doctor yesterday. Been having a little tickle in my throat. Bad enough at times to wake me up. Not really pain,… |

| Big Effing Spider! |
I put up a video I took a while back of a spider. I say a bad word in the video, so we’ll see if youtube let’s it stay up, if I have to mark it “mature,” or if I have to redo it to take out the cuss word. |

I think it’s funny that youtube has me down as joining “2 years ago.” I think I did that so I could watch “mature” content, which on youtube consists of people getting smacked in the testicles. Anyway… Again, not really worth watching. I’ll have a better one soon. I started… |

Kinda funny tring to type one character at a time in a tiny little text field. I’m sure the CMS I use isn’t optimized for the iPhone, and the autocorrect is messing up as much as it catches. Still cool posting from the bus! |
