Who

Artist, writer, and computer technician. There has always been some creative project in my hands since I was a kid. It’s not a profession. Hence, the computer technician gig. It’d be nice if something from this site did become a profession. That would certainly make the years of college worth it. In the meantime, the site keeps me rolling and job keeps a roof over my head.

Why

I was never particularly good with handwritten journals. For one thing, my handwriting is atrocious. For another, I was often inconsistent about format and frequency. The unlucky archivist that dusts off the flaking pages of my journals will end up finding a year’s worth of entries spread across several books. That person might as well begin by ripping the books apart.

Readers, don’t expect me to have a weekly article or new set of images. Also, don’t look for consistency of topic. I really don’t have a single topic of deep interest. Topics and schedule will be all over the map. What I do hope to be consistent about is quality of content. I work on this site for two reasons: 1) because it tickles me to, and 2) because I am trying to impress myself with my skills.

How

I am not a coding guru by any stretch of the imagination. I rely on the much greater skills of true programmers.
