Before I slip in my one-liner, I have a technical request. I reached out to the Happiness Engineers yesterday after losing one long comment to a login fiasco and then having to log into my own blog in order to reply to a comment—even though WordPress showed my avatar and told me I was logged in as me. In defense of my position, I mentioned that this was not just my problem. You know the whole “safety in numbers” or “misery loves company” thing.
The Happiness Engineer responded with more questions. In fairness to them, the questions did indicate that they had read my request. One of the things they asked for is if I could identify other blogs where people are receiving Anonymous comments so they could visit those blogs. I am reluctant to send the HEs snooping around without warning. So, if you have been receiving Anonymous comments, or have been experiencing login problems and would like to help the HEs solve this problem, leave a comment on this post indicating your permission.
My one-line comes from a practice of various advertisers that seems to be growing. I’ve been seeing ads that end with “If you would like more information, please scan the QR code.”
As the title of this post indicates, that’s crazy talk.
“To scan the QR code, I have to get up and walk to the TV—something I haven’t done since they invented the remote!”
Even if I could somehow scan the QR code from the comfort of my chair, why would I want more information about someone’s Medicare Advantage plan, treatment for a medical malady whose name I’d have to look up first, or auto insurance that, given how many of these ads I see, must be over priced? Just take me back to my show.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
