  • RSS Feeds, A Rant

    If my posts aren’t looking right in your RSS reader, or if they are limited to first paragraph only (or other such nonsense), do drop me a line and let me know so I can fix it.

  • Nothing To See Here, Nothing Exposed

    I had a nice, long, multiple paged monster of a post typed out here. Really explored my magic style and how different influences have changed it over the years. Nuked the whole thing, intentionally.

  • Ready for Ignition

    Those of you following my tweets are probably wondering why I haven’t just put three dollars on the counter at Walgreens and picked up some tobacco already. If I was breaking in a briar or corncob pipe, I would have done so, and probably would be on the second container. But after not smoking a…

  • More Referrer Spam: BlogSurfer.us

    Last week I noticed refer spam from BlogSurfer.us. I had written up a vitriolic post in knee jerk response. Reconsidered it, and took the post down. Reconsidered it yet again, and put it back up.

  • Another view/hits generator: Blogsurfer.us

    (This post was taken down in a naive thought that things would be worked out. Things didn’t.) Another view/hit/click generator site has picked me up. Oh joy.

  • NaNoWriMo: The End

    This is the last update for NaNoWriMo 2010. The Fucking End. My daughter is cheering me for having done this. I think she has gotten more out of this than I did, but that may be a symptom of my scrambled neurons. So, I’ll just throw this cropped screenshot here and be done with it.…

  • Idling: Funny How Things Work Out

    Just a few more days, guys. And the NaNoWriMo book will be done and I can return to my original intent of this blog. It’s been a roller coaster 24 days so far. What started out as a flippant and trivial excuse to vomit words and vanities has become a piercing introspective. There is more…

  • Idling: Picture Perfect

    A picture is worth a thousand words? So what does this say?
