  • The Archive is done. Now What

    It took about 10 days, but I think I’ve uncovered most of the archive. There’s a few files missing, mainly all the mp3’s. I know there’s a laptop around here somewhere with em all.

    So now that that’s done…

    Now what?

    I’ve decided to take an audio break and listen to trains. Yup, trains.

  • 15 years blogging!?

    It’s an on again off again relationship, but I wasn’t aware of time.

    Almost 15 years!? Holy Internuts!

    And this is just the proof I’ve found so far. I’m sure I’ve been doing this longer.

    I’ve tried to make a good archive here, now you can expect back to 2004! Can I find even more?

  • Dystopian Catharsis

    Do these stories feed us or placate us?

    When I read The Hunger Games, for a moment I had hopes that our children where angry. Angry enough to realize what was happening around them. To realize what it meant. Perhaps it’s a quiet revolt stewing in places I don’t see.

    Writers and actors want these stories to change us. I commend their bravery to speak out loud, to fight the ancient Leave-It-To-Beaver guard, to try and spark some form of action.

    But I fear catharsis.

    By the time one hour is up, my anger, fear, desire to act has been purged and released with the scrolling of credits. I know how fiction makes me feel. This feeling has to be because of the show I watched last night. Not because I’m urged to change my world.

    What happens when the world isn’t stranger than fiction?

  • Testing Jekyll Minimum Meta

    With converting my old blogs over to MD/Jekyll – I was never really sure what the bare bones minimum meta should be.

    So – Will this post?

    Update – Yes it did. Boy was I overdoing it on the meta stuff. layout & title are all I needed. Doh!
