Does IT Matter?

To which I say - Right on. IT Departments tend to make themselfs the centre of the corporate universe, and forget about the thing that makes money.

Cole's Notes 2020 - updating my site and getting things organized.

Image
On being a "Retired" Journalist So here it is 2020 - I got out of 2019 with minimal damage. As you can tell - there's wasn't much going on on in 2019 for my Blogging. I did (and still do) most of my posting on Facebook. Both Quotes of the day and Column of the day are part of what I have been doing as a hobbyist communication and content creation blogger. But I have been spending more time reading and cross-posting than creating.  Passing on other people's writing rather than creating my own. I was trying to build an audience and connect to more folks as well. While it did give me a more significant following and audience than posting in the Cole's Notes Blog was doing I was doing it it was the lazy man way by using my iPhone to curate and post on Twitter and Facebook. Also, I linked the Blog to my  Cooper's place page on Facebook and G+. Well, for 2020, I'm updating all this stuff to cut back on the Social Media to spend more time doing...

Now What?

Getting a new home for Cole's Notes I'm in the process of getting a proper website and Blog. I'm looking at getting a new domain and will move much of the Social media over there.

The new domain is because of the issues with Google and other search engines sending queries for my site to a listing for Coles Notes, which is, of course, the study guides for students all over. I'm also going to move from a free blog to a full-time website, so I'm looking at some designs right now.    For example -> And even though I have a face for radio - Videos will be able to be shared and used. I have some plans for some special sections and maybe even some longform excerts of my other writing - and who knows even a bookstore.

Losing the CBC will not be a tragedy. Article of the Day

Image
In The Weekly Wrap, Sean Speer, editor-at-large for Hub.ca , analyses for Hub subscribers the big stories shaping politics, policy, and the economy in the week that was. Recommended reading as Facebook will not let Canadians see this article  If Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives are elected, they will make it abundantly clear that defunding the CBC will be a top priority. This weekend, my colleague, The Hub’s managing editor Harrison Lowman , has a provocative essay in which he describes such an outcome as a “tragedy” and “damn shame.” I respectfully disagree. The principal conservative case for defunding the CBC isn’t “revenge,” as he puts it. As I’ve written several times before, it’s because the public broadcaster has outlived its usefulness. The CBC was established decades ago due to a genuine market failure. Without a public broadcaster, many Canadians wouldn’t have had access to news and entertainment on radio and television. Today, that’s no longer the case. The CBC is...
