  • Site Back Up, Still Fiddling with CSS

    We had a blog disaster. After much ado, the blog is back, and I think most of it is intact, excepting images that were tucked away in the wp-content folder that I overlooked. And some old photo galleries from the first couple of years. I need to get those back up in some form and…

  • Textbook Irony

    The Apple store says their “geniuses” are very busy with repairing computers so it’s several more days before they can look at my monitor. I already know my monitor is going to cost probably (at least) $500 to repair. After 16 months in my possession, the Apple power box apparently freaked out and went bad…

  • The Neighborhood Gets Way Too Eventful (And Snow)

    I woke up Tuesday morning set to spend the day devoted to working on Sue’s photos but checking my email I discovered that I was part of Dreamhost’s $7,500,000 f*** u* in which they accidentally way overcharged all their customers. Only I didn’t know this was a major all-encompassing script snafu yet. All I knew…

    Animated Shorts – I Will At Some Point Derive Some Benefit From This, Won’t I? 14 by 14 in. J Kearns 2007 Lightbox enlargement If I made animations, this is what they’d look like. Every so often I think of doing animations like that.

  • DELL MONITOR HELL

    For a while I’ve been writing about the hell I’ve been going through with my Dell monitor. Well, here it is. Thought I’d picture it for you. Click on the image to see it bigger at Flickr. This is my canvas. It’s canvas hell. I forget what I spent on this monitor, which I’ve had…

  • The Child Experiments – H.o.p. and his Magic Computer

    The Child Experiments – H.o.p. and his Magic Computer, 2007 Any excuse for a flying saucer op. H.o.p.’s computer has died. Over the past few days it started shutting down whenever he tried to do anything on it and finally refused to cut on. We ran diagnostics on it beforehand and nothing was helping. We…

  • Preserving the underground history of a city

    Apparently it’s annother anniversary with Earthlink. They send us a link to an anniversary page that shows a present with confetti raining over it. Despite the fact I hate Earthlink, confetti always manages to make me feel special. Inner child goes, “Look, confetti!” for one split second. But even the inner child knows better and…

  • I don’t know why I feel like I’ve done nothing

    My computer, which had a bad Windows install with which I’d been living for a while, finally went crash and I ended up without it a couple of times over the past several weeks. The thing is everything is on my computer. All the work I do is on my computer. Words. Art. Websites I…

  • In case you hadn't noticed

    It looks different around here, doesn’t it? But I’ve got some tweaking to do. A fair bit of it. Am not settled on the shades of white to gray thing. I’m doing the web equivalent of This Old House while I am trailing tissue paper all over the place. And so has been H.o.p. When…

  • Swallow, don't spit! And sentimental reminiscing on an exploding CD Rom

    I bypassed the Dole salad bag as it was down in the double digits (way down) in popularity. A curious sort, I clicked the link at Amazon to get a look at the top 100 gourmet items being ordered this Christmas. Lo and behold the 99 spot is occupied by… a $7.45 box of cinnamon…

  • The day before the day when many will be dozing on turkey

    Tomorrow’s Thanksgiving. If you look back a couple of posts you’ll see the picture of a dead turkey and a comment on Edward Curtis. That’s my sideswipe version of a Thanksgiving commentary, I guess. But I hope everyone who drops by and reads this post has a good holiday weekend. Right now I’m deep in…
