We Continue To Branch Out
By Jack Silbert on February 3, 2015
Sure, you know and trust the Salt in Wound brand for its unflinching commentary on modern society, and our affiliated record label has been nothing less than the soundtrack to your life. And now, be sure to tune in to Comedy Central on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. for the final season of Kroll Show, which […]

Congrats, Vehicle Flips!
By Jack Silbert on December 1, 2013
Kickstarter campaign fully funded (and then some). Thanks, contributors. I’m looking forward to the album! Now just have to remember how to get rid of that box off to the right….

I Am Beloved in British Luxury-Watch Circles
By Jack Silbert on August 21, 2011
The British appreciate quality time pieces. (Just look at Big Ben.) And of course they’re huge Salt in Wound fans. (Though over there we’re known as Rogan-Josh-Mix-in-a-Blighty-One.com.) So it’s no surprise that my post on watches went positively viral on that side of the pond: http://www.precisiontime.co.uk/victorinox-swiss-army-is-only-watch-that-cuts-it-dna-921.html Now, that gushing bit of Silbophilia was published on […]

If I Post a Link on Here….
By Jack Silbert on March 27, 2010
…of the Hoboken Reporter linking to here, will the world explode? If I then shared this on Facebook, would time go backwards? And why can’t ampersands appear in blog post titles?

Promo cone
By Frank B. on December 7, 2008
I didn’t have any great expectations for a local planning conference I attended recently. Not only did it turn out to be pretty good, the state Department of Transportation was giving away these. “Everyone in my blogging club would love one of these,” I thought. But, the limit was one per customer.

No one cares
By Frank B. on November 16, 2008
When I googled “I haven’t been blogging,” yes, in quotes, I got 162,000 hits. There is an exploding genre of people apologizing for not blogging and a sub-genre of elaborate explanations for why they haven’t been blogging. What I’m saying is I’m sorry and I’ll try to do better.

Where does salt come from?
By Frank B. on November 15, 2008
I typed in “where does…” this morning, and got this interesting list. This confirms yet again that there is a lot of interest in salt out there.

Promoting Your Blog
By Frank B. on June 17, 2008
After photographing the traffic cone the other day, my eye was drawn to a Post-It note affixed to the light pole. The Post-It note advertised Proscar® (finasteride), currently the leading medication to shrink one’s prostate. There is questionable marketing value for any drug that appears to be promoting scarring, but I believe the name was […]

UPDATES
By Frank B. on May 23, 2008
Time for some updates on your most pressing unresolved Salt in Wound topics! So how did that spelling bee turn out? Did I mention that the previous one – the one I won – was held at a hipster bar? By 2008 adult spelling bees had become passé, replaced by Guitar Hero contests. How about […]

But the 15-year-olds will love us!
By Frank B. on April 12, 2008
That’s not my opinion… I’m just reporting our scientifically-derived blog rating as calculated here. That puts us a rung above Paris Hilton on the reading level ladder, but, alas, a rung under Perez Hilton. What can we do about this? I, for one, intend to ameliorate our valuation via articulating my suppositions by the usage […]
