By Naomi Bloom on December 22, 2011

A Page From Bloom’s Camera 1950 Catalog On Christmas Eve, my Dad’s retail camera shop closed early, and we knew we’d have him with us all that next day.  Really just with us, even if he was too tired for much conversation after working the very long hours of the retail Christmas season.  New Year’s […]

Lars From Mars, The Wookey, Carmen Miranda And Me

By Naomi Bloom on December 19, 2011

Island Of Lost Souls — 1932 When Ron and I moved near DC in 1977, there was a late night TV program, called “Creature Features,”  that we loved.  It was hosted by Dick Dyszel  who, for reasons lost in the mists of marital life, I nicknamed Lars from Mars.  Dick played rarely shown early SciFi films, many […]

Provence, Toujours Provence You’ll have noticed that my last post went up on May 3rd, shortly after we left for two weeks vacation.  Before I return to our regularly scheduled programming, to blogs on more or less professional topics, I wanted to say a few words about this vacation and its impact on my state of […]

Thomas Wailgum Inspired Post #1 — My Airing Of Grievances

Thomas Wailgum Inspired Post #1 — My Airing Of Grievances

By Naomi Bloom on December 22, 2010

Modeling My Grievances! I was much inspired by Thomas Wailgum’s post today about how various ”tech vendors, CIOs, analysts and other assorted IT types” had let him down in 2010.  It’s a great catalogue of bad behavior by people and companies who should know better, and I enjoyed it so much that I read it twice before […]

Father’s Day Thoughts:  Remembering Jack Samuel Bloom

Father’s Day Thoughts: Remembering Jack Samuel Bloom

From my Dad I inherited:

* his belief that any day on which you wake up is already a good day, that the gift of life is too precious to waste;
