Jough.com is Jough Dempsey » Whimsy http://jough.com Hi, I'm Jough Dempsey, and I make the internet. Wed, 09 Sep 2009 22:16:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 09/09/09 http://jough.com/2009/09/09/090909/ http://jough.com/2009/09/09/090909/#comments Wed, 09 Sep 2009 22:16:40 +0000 jough http://jough.com/2009/09/09/090909/ Once again today is a day where the shorthand of today’s date is a triplet of the same digits. I’ve been making a post on the triplet day for years now. This year I’m writing this in a cab on the way to the airport, which just a few years ago would’ve sounded like science fiction.

See you again on the tenth of October next year.

Has it been a year, a month, and a day already?

The 2008 Summer Olympics are opening in Beijing tonight, and it’s reported that there were a record number of marriage licenses requested for today, so that Chinese couples could be married at the Olympics. I wonder if China will have a small surge in population in nine to ten months?

I’ll be back to post a follow up next September.

Hereafter I am no longer simply Jough Dempsey, but rather “Jough Dempsey, Organizer and Member of…”

Word Front LLC

(I don’t have a logo yet, but imagine something akin to a black gloved hand crushing a flaming dictionary, with a bald eagle swooping down to perch atop the clenched fist, boughs of holly in one talon, a mighty sword in the other. There are mountains in the background, and some somber music played on the cello with baritone horn accents – regal yet accessible to the rabble).

In any case, “we” are readying about a half a dozen products and/or services for launch by the end of the year.

Next week WordFront.com will open and have news of more plans for WORD FRONT LLC and my bid for world domination.

Please contact our press agent if you have any questions, and feel free to send company-warming presents to the address you have on file for me.

– Jough, one knee up on a boulder, American flag thrashing in the breeze, sun rising behind him, while he stands with forearm on knee, gazing up pensively into THE FUTURE…

    Of course, it only works when you use the non-Y2K-compliant two-digit year, but that’s close enough.

    Check back on 5 May 2005 for another whimsical Fun with Dates™ entry.
