You (or your grandfather) may remember Michael Douglas walking along a private beach in the 1987 film "Wall Street." He was (talking) on a ... Motorola DynaTAC. It weighed nearly three pounds and listed for $3995. This first commercial ... cellphone was as big as Michael's head, but it was amazing — and very cool.

President Nixon held a press conference in which he averred that Counsel to the President John Dean had conducted a comprehensive investigation and found absolutely no connection of any Watergate burglars to any White House employees. Most surprised by this announcement was John Dean — Nixon had lied about the investigation and never warned Dean about the mendacious press conference.

Delete the use of "duh" to indicate the obvious nature of a declarative statement or to emphasize a rhetorical question and its evident, unnecessary answer. Just stop it! From now on, we're going with: "Will a hermaphrodite meet you halfway?"

Promoting communication that consistently incorporates the principles of critical thinking and best supports the ethical, accurate transfer of information.
Hello,
This portfolio showcases my communications skills: writing, editing, and website design (and search engine optimization). I'm proficient in multiple writing styles such as technical, corporate, feature, news, and humor. I use AP (Associated Press) and APA (American Psychological Association) style guides and can adapt to others.
I designed and developed this site, including researching, writing, and producing all content. I work closely with clients to meet their needs and adapt to their stylistic preferences using industry-standard Adobe Dreamweaver design software and other Creative Suites applications.
Additionally, I produced most of the audio and video that appears here. Along with my background in Pro Tools digital audio recording/editing software, my recording studio can accommodate audio voice-overs, podcasts, video soundtracks, and music production. I also offer technical support in maintaining and repairing PC and Mac computers/software.
See my resume and cover letter for more information, and explore the links below for samples of my work. You can reach me through the contact page or at tom@tomersin.com.
Best regards,
Tom
