Dennis Jordan: Why haven't digital watches kept up with digital computers?
http://dennisjordan.blogspot.com/2011/05/why-havent-digital-watches-kept-up-with.html
Wednesday, May 4, 2011. Why haven't digital watches kept up with digital computers? My 2009 Timex Ironman watch has two features that my 1988 version did not: an "Indiglo" back-light and something called an "occasion" tracker. What it does not have is a music player, Bluetooth/wifi/USB, a high resolution display, memory or apps. The price was about the same. The song you're listening to on your phone (and let you skip it). Who is calling you. Which cardinal direction is your mapped destination.

Dennis Jordan: November 2012
http://dennisjordan.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 14, 2012. The Southern Strategy and the racial revulsion of U.S. white voters. Mitt Romney today blamed. His loss at the polls in part on the desire by minorities for "gifts", presumably to be given by President Obama. There has been much talk since Barack Obama's Nov 6, 2012 election win of shifting demographics and the relative decline in potency of a conservative, white bloc. However, I think there is a leading indicator that is more subtle. However, if trusting a person extinguish...

Dennis Jordan: December 2009
http://dennisjordan.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 10, 2009. I'm posting on a new blog. All tech and media posts will be to Kindred Crowd. Including one today on "saving the music album.". Wednesday, December 2, 2009. RCMP officer escapes charge for drunk driving death. I'm troubled by this. Story Occasionally, police organizations take the view that a work-related punishment - such as a suspension, demotion, or firing - is to be equated with a civil or criminal punishment, such as a fine or prison sentence, etc. This is something nice.

Dennis Jordan: October 2010
http://dennisjordan.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 8, 2010. New Globe and Mail print look. B- overall. Re-printed from an email I just sent]. Not too dramatic inside. Thinner must be a reaction to the iPad and Kindle/Kobo - commuters will prefer less fuss. Glossy magazine-style photo above the fold differentiates from the ugly Kindle visuals. Quick bites on the cover reflect how we read news online (140 characters? It supported only a psychologist's opinion on child rearing? New Globe and Mail print look. B- overall. This is something nice.

Dennis Jordan: March 2010
http://dennisjordan.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Avatar and what we know. I received an award this week for being the last person on Earth to see Avatar. Not true. But it's hard to write a blog post about an event that really occurred one spectacular Olympics and a New Year's ago. Though I don't like the word "holistic," I kind of have to use it here - what is the human difference between having holistic understanding of a trade or profession and simply being given a routine task? My grandfather could tell great stories; but pe...

Dennis Jordan: Why momentum is relevant in electoral polling
http://dennisjordan.blogspot.com/2012/10/why-momentum-is-relevant-in-electoral.html
Thursday, October 25, 2012. Why momentum is relevant in electoral polling. Despite a chorus of dissent. For the concept of electoral momentum, I think the idea has meaning. Put differently, if Mitt Romney has a figurative wind at his back, what is its literal incarnation? Why did another mass of voters not feel more favourably toward Romney on Oct 7, but did so on Oct 9? Edit - this post is a focused re-write of my Oct 10 post " The very long news cycle. Posted by Dennis Jordan. The very long news cycle.

Dennis Jordan: July 2010
http://dennisjordan.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 16, 2010. Canada to spend up to $16B for F35 flighter jets - Liberals to get in a tizzy. I still consider myself a Liberal, but the moral is weakening. We haven't had a leader for a while who has figured out how to do well at his job. All he needs to do is to win. Win a debate; win at competing photo ops; win on principle . just win something. Winning a lot of things wins you an election. Whom do we typically attack by air? Aren't we more of a search-and-rescue nation, than Top Guns? We are ...
