I have had a blog in some form since 2003, so just for fun, you could jump to a random post.

Search my posts all the way back to April 2003

The search is a little quirky, so being creative helps.
For example, a search for slumber party night will find ANY ONE of the words, while "slumber party night" (in quotes) will only find the exact phrase and I don't always use the complete phrase and sometimes I abbreviate it to SPN.
Therefore, a search for slumber spn with no quotes should find every post that mentions our little ritual.

  • the day my relationship with Terra changed

    It’s fun and even useful to have a personal site that archives all my social media updates – Twitter, Flickr, Facebook and such – and then is searchable so I can go back and see things in the past.

    Yesterday, I came across something interesting.

    See, Terra and I were friends for a long time before we became . . . → Read More: the day my relationship with Terra changed

  • Oaty Veggie Meatloaf – a recipe to perfect

    So, I start with 2 or 3 pounds of whatever ground meat…
    Then I add lots of oats and finely diced (we’re talking relish) onions and peppers until it looks right – But it’s ALOT – maybe a fourth of the total mixture and I always wish I’d added more. I don’t ever measure so I’m . . . → Read More: Oaty Veggie Meatloaf – a recipe to perfect

  • A quick rant on why I am so against a Blade Runner franchise

    This is a comment I posted on Facebook that I’ll lazily paste here, rather than write an expansion.
    I began by posting this to Twitter: “Building a franchise around Blade Runner is like building an amusement park around The Smithsonian.”

    And then, here is what I followed up with on Facebook…

    It’s what I’ve seen happen to Alien.

Just a few more weary days and then I’ll fly away…

Below, is my “LifeStream” – primarily consisting of micro-blogging updates from my phone.  Think of it as sort of like my ongoing autobiography, told in bite-sized chunks of words and sometimes pictures and videos.

But, there is also stuff that I just come across online – such as news/blog items, links, music, photos or whatever – that I wanted to share publically for some reason or another.

This is all continually updated in real time throughout the day, pretty much every day (just keep in mind, it is all in reverse chronological order and you can’t always trust the timestamps).  If you want an idea of who I am, what I’m interested in, and what I do with my time and energy, read on.

If you came looking for actual blog posts only, the left sidebar has a number of browsing and search options.  Anything else you may be looking for is probably found on the right somewhere.


If you have no idea who I am, here is the short version.
