Comments on: Eons.com Jumps the Shark http://goinglikesixty.com/2008/01/31/eonscom-jumps-the-shark/ Baby Boomer guy writing about stuff of interest primarily to boomers, or people who know one. No politics, few rants, attempted humor. Suitably old, mysteriously advanced.

Or that's your term for low-paying law firms? @Seniorwriter: You want an underdog? Try Boomspeak.com, I'm an unpaid writer for them. Now we both plugged our buddies. I have no doubt any adult can enjoy any blog/website. @Gretchen: So Jump the Shark is a fun thing in your house? ie: jumping Ben? Or that’s your term for low-paying law firms?

Always a champion of the underdog, I've been rooting for the vastly underfunded eGenerations.com. (Disclaimer: I'm a columnist there, but not a paid one). I've always found EONS confusing and hard to use. eGenerations seems to have a more personal touch--and far fewer members, of course. By the way, I'm a Senior rather than a Boomer. Can our generations enjoy the same web sites? I think the jury is still out on that. Interesting. Always a champion of the underdog, I’ve been rooting for the vastly underfunded eGenerations.com.

Ben and I have both spent time on Monster; local law firms afflicted with terminal penny-pinching use it because the area legal professional publication, The Daily Journal, charges more than these firms are willing to pay their employees. If a firm advertises on Monster and not in DJ, this is a job you do NOT want to take. $50 million pissed away is nothing in these parts. Probably guys in Newport Beach take $50 million craps every day, then wipe their asses on the employees they hired through Monster. “Jump the Shark”, good Christ, is common terminology in my family!
