About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Influencing People With Spinner

Some more fun from the world of technology.
Have you ever wanted to subliminally influence your
Boss,
Friends,
Partner,
Parents,
or
Kids?
Now you can,
if they have a
Facebook
account!
"Influencing people on Facebook doesn’t have to be rocket science: The Spinner, a U.K. startup, claims it will target an individual Facebook user with ads designed to sway their behavior for only $29. With the ads, The Spinner aims to help individuals persuade colleagues, friends, and family members to change their ways, whether it’s convincing a partner to increase intimacy or swaying a parent’s opinion on buying a pet."

I checked out their website
and they must have raised their prices since this article was written because now the starting price is $49 dollars!

"Here’s how it works: For $29, you can target a Facebook user with a set of 10 different articles, which are shown to them 180 times within a 90-day period. Once you choose your campaign (The Spinner’s site has 12 different campaigns) and pay, The Spinner will send you a normal-looking link. Next, you can send the link to your targeted Facebook user in a text message. When they press the link, the cookie connected to the link bonds to their smartphone, so they’ll keep seeing similar articles during the three-month window."
Come on,
I dare you.
Try influencing me to stop writing stories that are
Liberal,
Political,
and
Self Righteous.
Getting me to stick with the
Poems,
Flash Fiction,
and
Short Stories
I make up!
I dare you!

This is,
Telling You It Could Never Happen
My Kids Say I Am Too Opinionated
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“It is a subliminal thing. It is the tick of a clock that has ticked so long one no longer notices.”
- Ray Bradbury -


That is my story and I am sticking to it!
