Been working at reordering the site, and tidying the house. Regrettably my desktop computer is hiccuping like a vaudeville comedian, and I can’t quite diagnose the problem. It’s about five years old, which I know is ancient computer-wise, but I wasn’t really looking to replace it this year. Now, however, I start to think about… Continue Reading

Go elsewhere…
Tried once again to solve the problem of wifi collapse on the eeepc: I got my hands on a dvd drive and did a system restore back to the factory original settings. No go – which leads me to conclude that it is indeed a hardware problem, not a software one. It looks like I… Continue Reading
The bag, the tricks
For those who are wondering, here’s the new Friday the 13th tattoo. Looks to be healing up nicely. I was a little worried because it spent much of yesterday dangling in the Delaware River and out in the sunlight, but there seems to be little ill effect. I was out in the river because I… Continue Reading
Introducing the rantlet…
Listening to Grace singing “Bullshit”, if singing is really the right word for it. Doesn’t matter: I still love her. There’s a whole degree of “I’m bat-shit crazy, now and for eternity” in her whole career that I just have to admire. I’m suffering from the inverse of the usual web rhetoric inflation impulse; every… Continue Reading

A little test…
Here’s something I’ve learned how to do today: to go from the above scan of a sketch in my moleskine to the image below, which was made in Illustrator, Photoshop and ArtRage a very interesting and cheap painting program. I know some of you on my friends list do this sort of thing all day… Continue Reading
Blankety-blank!!!!
On the road, at RISD thanks to the marvelous clarkelane. Unfortunately this morning my laptop has decided to croak. I’m praying, but right now I’m posting via someone else’s computer. It may be a few days before I get any sort of relief. If only the new ASUS eeepc’s were out, I’d buy one in… Continue Reading
Sometimes I worry….
…about not posting enough. The past week has provided two states of being: feeling ill, thus too limp to reflect and type or doing stuff, in which case there is no time to type. The result? A week slips by with nothing. So now finally some time is wrested from the job, which allows for… Continue Reading
