Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
I like this new job. My day started as early as normal, with the first chore (coffee making) and than a solid hour run to clear the mind. Then it was the tough choices. Which jeans to slip on? Or just lounge in boxers? Shave or not? (I took jeans and a shave, it is […]
Technically, this weekend, I was un-employed. Last week I was cleaning my office at Maricopa, digitizing old silly artifacts, tossing files, and trying to organize 14 years of web sites.

(start with TV announcer voice): Previously… on Lost. Just kidding. Previously on this blog, I wrote of my dilemma at home of dealing with a giant unorganized stack of digital photos. In cleaning out my office at Maricopa, I had a similar problem, but here, at least, I had a spare 240 Gb LaCie FireWire […]
Like thousands, tens of thousands, maybe just short of McDonald’s order of magnitude (Billions and Billions) of other people, I am feeling the gaping information void of Stephen Downe’s hiatus.
