This Blog Versus That Blog
People ask me: “Why do you have a blog with photos and one-liners when you can do that stuff for free on facebook or even blogspot and tumblr?” You don’t really own anything you put on a site hosted by strangers. My photos are on photobucket for now but if I thought they were really [...]

Change of Scenery
As I mentioned earlier, I’m looking into an image change. Bear with me as I try on a few different WordPress themes. In the meantime, I’m also learning how to build themes from scratch.

Me On the Slope, Park
I have a bunch of blogging to do besides everything else. In the meantime, this is my newish goatee. Thanks to Lynn for the photo.

Benchmarks
A life coach is a psychiatrist/therapist with a best (possibly a mild) seller and without a degree. Instead of having a whistle and making you do push-ups and laps and drills like a sports coach, they give you list-making exercises and paraphrase Bing Crosby songs in elaborate metaphors, ending with some variation of the punchline [...]
How Many Frames And Why Aren’t Any Circular?

One Dead Zine Scene
The Ding Dong Lounge hosted a ‘zine fair on Saturday. They didn’t do a very good job of promoting it as it seemed like only ‘zine publishers were in attendance slapping each other on the back and outnerding each other. If you want bar regulars to come in and hang around, you may not want [...]

Amplification
Can’t wrap my 3D fence around it I’ve been rehearsing the Crimson Grail with over 200 guitarists and these massive guitar orchestra composers never seem to learn anything from each other. The score is in letter sequences that don’t follow one another. Solution: Provide a score that explains the parts in between your cues. Granted, [...]

Back in Gold
Golden Brown, texture like sun This blog was down all day as I have one of the “cheap hosts.” That’s all I’ll say about it except that I’m glad it’s back as I was wanting to blog all day– except now that I had to be uppity with the tech support and I’m not going [...]

Selected Selections from your amateur photographer… I hope everyone’s having a nice Memorial Day weekend. My birthday is around now and it’s always a good time. The blogosphere knows but maybe you don’t — Emily Gould, late of Gawker, has a long yarn up at the New York Times about the dangers of putting too [...]
