I hear the train’s whistle. Distance blends the wail with the depth of night sounds. And the crickets nearer.
My directions to visitors state that I am three miles from where the tracks cross Elm. All ten East/West streets in Crowell are named after trees making four more trees than we have in [...]
Wrote some crap; deleted some crap. Sometimes you have to know when to fold ‘em.
I love watching football, but I freely admit to knowing next to nothing about the game. I know the basic plot: four downs, gotta go ten yards, and score more points than the other guy. I know [...]
A little of both kinds. Here’s the administrative portion…
Closing in on fifty days. I have a couple ideas for new features that will both tastefully embellish the less is more aesthetic (thats twice in two days) and challenge my random programming skills. I will not be able to get those implemented before [...]
Not feeling all that creative today. Lots of work this week and today. Up at 3AM. Finished work around 7PM.
I did get the MT blog torn down and replaced with this Word Press one. I don’t know what happened with MT. I am a bit disappointed because I was enjoying the mature interface. While the [...]
Of course it’s a heroic pose. Dispassionate and aloof. Practical and inspiring. But wrong.

Johnathan Goffe said, “Good.”
He worried he hadn’t turned off his Bluetooth soon enough. Tinkers on the trail ahead was a bit of a surprise. They looked intimate–probably had theirs off as well. Blah blah blah
As if the small black road through the big white snow wasn’t an obvious enough path, the generation [...]
I just don’t believe that bad people know they are bad. This notion makes me think I’ll be able to construct compelling villains. I also makes me think that it will be harder to do so. How does an author compel good people to do evil things?
If you think you are in the right, then [...]
With the battery down in my laptop I am resorting to pen and paper for my regular writing today. I could turn on the desktop, but I thought under these circumstances that I would give the moleskine a shot.
Still trying to get Johnka’s story told:
“The Tacons are not like th gypsies you and I know. [...]
In which I use the internet to teach me skate slang…
I’ve read people talk about how much fun it is to let their characters just take the reins and see where it goes. I can see where that would be fun, but I can’t see where it would be useful or practical. As the author [...]
The placement of this building strikes me as similar to that of the San Francisco de Asis church in Ranchos de Taos: out of.
The photographer has carefully cropped out what looks to be an apartment or at least a building of lesser character. You run into the same [...]
