đ§What readers say about the book
â20 Years of Internet HumorâVolume Twoâ reminds us that humor never gets old. Laughter is the best medicineâand something we all crave. This book is what I call a slice of happyâit blends clever commentary, jokes, and moments that are both ridiculous and unexpected. It invites readers to step away from daily stress, pause, laugh freely, and share the joy. This book is a compilation of Williamâs âThought for the Dayâ drawn from an email he sent out for years, and shaped by contributions from readers, friends, and his own inspiration. I love how it became his way to connect, reflect, share happiness and kindnessâbecause who doesnât need more of that? Itâs a treat for the readerâan endlessly fun read that I will return to again and again, recommended to others, and buy as a gift for colleagues, friends, and family.

Meet the Author: W.G. (Bill) Williams
W.G. “Bill” Williams is a writer, broadcaster, educator, and lifelong communicator with a talent for making people laugh and think at the same time. He began his career in media while putting himself through Texas Tech University, working as a photographer and reporter for the local newspaper and at the campus radio and TV stations. With a BA and MA in broadcasting and journalism, Bill also taught photojournalism, public speaking, and broadcast history as a graduate student.
His professional journey spans academia, public broadcasting, federal communications, and even financial advising. He directed university television systems in Texas and Ohio, produced dramatic programming for PBS affiliate KLRN, and taught graduate-level television courses. In Washington, DC, he founded a successful media consulting firm, serving clients ranging from federal agencies to the White House and the Secret Service. He later became FEMAâs first Director of News and Information, working through major national events such as the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, and the Cuban refugee crisis.
Bill also served as national president of the Independent Media Producersâ Association and helped shape legislation supporting independent creators. Along the way, he taught advanced television news production at the University of Maryland, lobbied on behalf of media professionals, and raised a family after moving back to Ohio for a quieter life and a second career as a Registered Investment Advisor.
Now semi-retired, Bill has turned his attention to sharing the best of what the internet has offered over the last two decadesâits weirdest, wisest, and most wonderful moments.
