A late comment on S.P.A.C.E

Thanks to all the people who stopped by our table to look at our weird stuff and chat. If you bought something, double thanks! I hope it serves you well. More thanks to the people who orchestrate and produce this show every year. I've only attended a handful but have always been impressed. This year, our first behind a table, was no exception. In fact, I was overwhelmed at times by the concentration of sheer talent and creative energy gathered together in the two exhibit halls. I wanted to buy one of each. So, beyond thanks, respect and congratulations to all of the artists who exhibited their amazing wares. It was an honor and a pleasure to be displaying our work alongside of you. Good luck and hopefully we'll see you at the next show!

Homemade Blog

I set up a blog with WordPress a couple years ago and found that I never used it. I tried ealier this year but couldn't keep going. I realized one of the things really blocking me was the awkwardness of using the Wordpress system. I have a website already. I know how to create web pages. I don't care to have a conversation with strangers about my opinions or activities in an internet environment. Logging in is a hassle and I don't wish to be endlessly logged on to someone else's system. So, I deleted my WordPress blog and started making a web log of my own the old-fashioned way, from scratch. I saved my two most recent posts from WordPress and have included them below.

Automation can be useful but it can also be a pointless headache that leaves you chasing your tail. If you disagree with me, fine but you'll have to post that somewhere else.
