When do you stop tinkering with something and leave it be? Everyone has this thing they like to mess with and to tweak and to get it just so then they find out it’s not as good as they would like it to be then they go and blow the whole thing up and start anew. Maybe its a matter of finding something they enjoy doing and they are never truly satisfied with it so they have to continue to refine it and to keep working on it. Some people are obsessed with experimentation so they keep on trying to make something work just so. Tinkering with something can keep you out of one form of trouble but could get you in trouble in another way.

Something About Real vs. Fake
It’s amazing we have to figure out what’s real and what’s fake these days. Sometimes the lines are blurred between the two. Whether it be news or what you put in your coffee to make it sweeter, less bitter you have a choice on what to consume. As the classic rock group Queen once sang “is this real life or is it just fantasy” that is the magic question everyone asks. Some people like fake things like diamonds and handbags because you don’t have to pay the real deal price. Information is one of those things that is life and death because depending on what you believe you might do more harm than good. Buyer and believer beware in the real vs. fake thing we all must cope with daily.
Quote Of The Day

Something About My Blogs New Tagline
Most sites and brands have some sort of tagline to let you know what they are about. I needed a new one and struggled for a bit on what sort of tagline my blog would have. Well today I came up with one that kind of suits my home on the Web.
Introducing: The Tony Burgess Blog: The Digital Home Of T-Bird, Among Other Things
It implies geekiness and my own personality. In the world we live and navigate many things are digital. Blogging is a very digital thing considering what content we post from video, audio, podcasts and pictures are all digital things. It speaks to where we are in technology and how we communicate and interact with the world.
T-Bird is my nickname and when you combine this idea of digital expression and my personal brand this is where this site fits into the blogosphere. My blog is a place and space where I chronicle and curate the things in my life that make me, me.
So, in what I think is a sharp-looking, easy to read place on the web I have a greater sense of identity and place and personal branding. I hope you like it. Feedback welcome as always.
Support For Journalists, Writers and Fellow #Bloggers #journalists
I am not a journalist but I am a blogger and therefore share a brother and sisterhood of those who are keeping us all informed about the world around us. When you attack a journalist who is an essential part of our democracy then you undermine society. Bloggers, journalists, writers, reporters are all a part of keeping the shadows of the world illuminated so that no one can do nefarious things that can harm people.
The notion of fake news is a subjective one but there are a lot of news outlets who are doing the hard work of reporting the facts. Sure journalists are human and they don’t always get things right but more times than not they are accurate and factual. Without them we don’t know whats going on out there. So to those who are on the front lines in the news gathering business you have my support.
