My name is Ron Workman. I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman. Now I only have two things: my friends, and… my thermos. My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin’ on the porch with my family, singin’ and dancin’ down in Mississippi… var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-356840-4']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

I don’t. My dashboard gives me a major warning.</p> <p>This latest wave looks just like the spam algorithm that hit Tumblr a few years ago. I believe that in some way, it actually uses Tumblrs search engine to find, like and reblog posts. Not sure how yet. The noteclusters are all older just like how Tumblrs search only works in clusters of time starting at a point around 8 months ago. This is very likely why it will hit an older blog and skip a newer blog completely. </p> <p>(This is a real and untouched screenshot of the last few notes I have picked up in my dash)</p>http://www.ronworkman.com/post/18005857366http://www.ronworkman.com/post/18005857366Tue, 21 Feb 2012 06:35:00 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/G-ipmfPGFWM?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Caterham 2012 - Let’s go for a Ride.</p> <p>Great video featuring the CT01 and Heikki Kovalainen at Jerez.</p> <p>(via:<a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.itracing.net/post/17949911087/caterham-2012">itracing</a>)</p>http://www.ronworkman.com/post/17950060180http://www.ronworkman.com/post/17950060180Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:18:23 -0500carsrace carsf1formula 1caterhamct01jerezheikki kovalainen<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzmt078ynf1qc6n7jo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p>Serotonin & Dopamine…</p>http://www.ronworkman.com/post/17939484830http://www.ronworkman.com/post/17939484830Mon, 20 Feb 2012 04:19:54 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzmwysOTw11qzamioo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ianbrooks.me/post/17908151676/mike-tysons-punch-out-by-glen">ianbrooks</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em><strong>Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!</strong></em> by <a href="http://albinoraven7.blogspot.com/2012/02/super-button-mashers.html">Glen Brogan/albinoraven</a></p> <p>Part of the Super Button Mashers show at <a href="http://ohnodoom.com/">ohno! doom</a> gallery in Chicago.

In the car ride home we kept going back and forth with ideas.
