2011 Goals and Resolutions
by John Wilson I love New Years resolutions and new beginnings. I’ve always been the kind of person who gets in a fight with his wife/mom/friend and then wakes up the next day completely over it. I’m not sure if it is the lack of energy for fighting and grudge-holding, a throwback to my [...]
Coastal Carolina Fair
by John Wilson (This is my 100th post at www.whereisjohnwilson.com) I haven’t taken as many photos as I’ve wanted to this year, but I did get some good ones at the Coastal Carolina Fair near Charleston, SC this year. This was Parker’s first trip to the fair. He got to pet all kinds [...]
Excuses…
by John Wilson Not really any good excuses for not getting more content up here. I’ve been doing lots of traveling and my son takes up a lot of what would be good writing time. Then there’s all the good games that come out at this time of the year… (excuses). I keep [...]

Here are the instructions on how to vote for Parker. 1. go to http://www.gerber.com/photo/#/vote/ 2. Click “Search Photos” – do NOT be distracted by all of the cute faces – [...]
Vegas is Smokin’
by John Wilson Vegas is smokin’, literally. I was in Las Vegas this week for a convention in Caesar’s Palace. I had an outstanding room, ate great food, and had an enjoyable conference. I even got to meet Joe Montana. Tough to beat that. I stayed in the brand new “Augustus Tower” [...]
Dear South Carolina (or Snow in Charleston)
by John Wilson Dear South Carolina, I hope this letter finds you well. Other than the Governor and his soon-to-be ex-wife on the television a bunch, things here in the “Low Country” have been going well. We’re getting our very own Boeing plant, the South East Wildlife Expo this weekend marks the beginning [...]
Aerosmith Tampa Cancelled
by John Wilson I probably should have known. A 7.5 hour road trip to see a band of 60 year olds is a bad idea. Not to mention it was on the same night as UFC 100, arguably the best UFC card in the history of the sport. There was no way I [...]
Site of the Week – How the UFC Works
by John Wilson How the UFC works How Stuff Works is a great site. They have well written and well researched articles on subjects from all spectrums. They also have an excellent general subject podcast available on iTunes, including my favorite, “Stuff you Missed in History Class.” The particular article I’d like to [...]
WWTT #1: Aciphex
WWTT is my new section called “What Were They Thinking.” I love to ask (typically out loud): Were there 10 people sitting around a boardroom congratulating each other because they all thought this was a good idea? First up on this column: Aciphex. I seriously rolled off the couch when this commercial came on for [...]
Dear Bing – Where is “John Wilson”?
Currently, I bounce around the top of the Google search results. Sometimes one or two, sometimes at the bottom, but since mid last year I’ve always been on page one of the number one search engine in the world when searching for “John Wilson”. Tonight, a friend of mine saw a commercial for Bing [...]
