About this Blog

This is my personal blog. I’ll ramble. I’ll talk big talk about this project and that project and then get distracted by some new shiny thing. Get used to it.

For a further, if limited, explanation of my increasingly hermit like behavior here on the web see the “Virtual Walkabout” category.

This is a “Fourth Edition Free Zone.”

Troublesome Changes are personal blog entries of little interest to anyone but me.

Before Leaving for College. There are some things one really must know…

A Fear Koan is… “It all began on a marvelously overcast and intermittently drizzly day in September 2007. More weather had been forecast for later in the day, but it was 9am and we were all brave little troopers out in the foul on a Friday morning. It was Dr. Brian Lowe’s “Social Problems” Honors course and we watched some political campaign ads of the past. He mentioned Koans. I mentioned how much of two of the ads we watched used fear.

And in my head a glorious idea blossomed and grew. It grew into Fear Koans.“

Fear Koans will appear irregularly at best. Hopefully. Google locked me out of their original home; feel free to ask them why, they stopped answering my emails.

edit 8/6/09: and, now after I believe over a year, they’ve finally nerfed the blogs. They may, or may not, have attempted to contact me via my old college email, but that has since been shut down as well. In any case, no attempt was made to explain the initial shut down, no warning was given, and after near a month of trying and waiting for a response from their support while I still worked at the college… nothing. So, here we are.

Some Warnings

• I have a “propensity for colorful metaphor.”
• I am a curmudgeonly atheist.
• I… I am an opinionated, member of a so-called majority ethnicity.
