noreply@blogger.com (Jason Bryant) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:50:09 PST

Another jRock with Jason Bryant has landed with a slight change in format. No music this time, and no fancy intro.

Get it here.

Be warned, lots of ranting and swearing today.

Steve Jobs death got me thinking about how we need to stop wasting time and get on with it. Stop wasting time watching crappy movies for one thing. Also some talk of video games, books and television shows.

Osama bin Laden is dead. Much has changed in the nearly 10 years since 9/11. The Canadian election results and what it means for the left.

When you have some time off, away from it all, strange things have the freedom to enter your brain.

I was wondering today if there was a connection between the winless Detroit Lions and the collapse of the auto industry.

Also, why I may stop watching Meet The Press now that David Gregory is the host.

Still Twittering and Friendfeeding.
