I almost forgot…
Today is my blogiversary. Seven years ago I began complaining here about digital culture, and I’m still a crabby guy. Today it’s a bit harder to know what to write about, and to make the time to do it. I’m happy for the community it’s brought me and the many ways it’s helped me stretch… Continue Reading

I was out in the river because I… Continue Reading
Stampede to the Ink…
Another Friday the 13th, another day of $13.00 tattoos at Daredevil Tattoo. I missed a couple of chances last year so this time I would not be denied. I was not alone in that determination however, and even though I got there an hour and fifteen minutes before opening time, there were already thirty five… Continue Reading
