Thank you, Robert Stack.

As you can probably tell, I’ve been busy with my new job. I’ve also been busy with the usual tangles of yarn, beer, socializing, etc.

However, I’ve decided to launch a new, low-threshold project using Tumblr and the public library’s DVD collection.

Unsolved Mysteries, please don’t sue me.

I give you Faces of Unsolved Mysteries.

JOBBOTRON

HELLO “DENOV”:

JOBBOTRON SOMETIMES WONDERS IF ALL OF THIS “TECHNOLOGY” STUFF ISN’T WORSE FOR US IN THE END, PROVIDING AS IT DOES THE ILLUSION OF INFINITE CHOICE WHILE WE REMAIN SIMULTANEOUSLY ENSNARED IN REAL-LIFE OBLIGATIONS AND BIASES.

JUST KIDDING. COMPUTERS MAKE US ALL GODS ON EARTH. EVEN JOBBOTRON, AND JOBBOTRON _IS_ A COMPUTER.

YOUR IDEAL CAREER IS:

**************************************************
* SHOVEL TRAINER *
**************************************************

LAST, PEOPLE LOVE MUSIC. DURING YOUR WORKDAY, TRYING SINGING EVERYTHING. “I NEED THOSE NUMBERS ON MY DESK BY MORNING, JACOBSEN” SOUNDS SURPRISINGLY ALLURING WHEN SUNG TO THE TUNE OF “EDELWEISS.”

CRAVENLY,
JOBBOTRON
