{"product_id":"9781946094018","title":"The r-daub-a-blog Reader","description":"In early 2006, writer Richard Daub was a full-time journalist looking for a way to publish his non-journalistic work without having to deal with \"the freelance shuffle, writing and painstakingly revising something so that every word was precisely placed and then spending time and money finding a home for it in print only to have it shredded beyond recognition by hack editors who were only concerned with making it fit into their little blank spaces.\" Thus the \"\u003ci\u003er-daub-a-blog\u003c\/i\u003e experiment\" began, and for the next couple of years Mr. Daub took advantage of the freedom and power of being able to publish his work unfiltered to the world by posting a wide range of content that was all over the map, \"from Dig Dug to 9\/11, from naked ladies singing in the shower to total civil disorder, from Syd Barrett to the Byrds to the Beatles to Bruce Springsteen to Anjani Thomas-and many random points in-between\". While admittedly lacking the fundamental understanding that successful blogs usually stick to a particular topic, Mr. Daub left behind a fascinating collection of writing that covers historical and personal events, as well as \"many points of randomness between the major things where so much of life resides and should be appreciated as well\". The \u003ci\u003er-daub-a-blog Reader\u003c\/i\u003e includes the entire collection of posts made on the site from April 2006 through the final post in February 2008.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Works:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePilot Post Ramble\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Melancholy of Denny's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving to Taneytown\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTales of a Pending Father's Childhood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoungin' at the Lube\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLand of the \u003ci\u003eLost\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClark Kent Returns\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLiving Ghost No More...
