    dear reader/listener/viewer/enjoyer/co-conspirator:
    lest i be judged for it, i inform you now that this project continues to be a scratch pad, a space for experimentation

    in other words, enjoy what you find here, and feel free to participate, but try not to take anything personal, and don't believe that this project presents an accurate view of me or my life

    this is a window, certainly, but one that hasn't been cleaned in quite some time

    your view may be foggy, obscure...you may see things that aren't really there...

    and yes, i love my mom and my dad;
    they've always been good to me, no matter what impression you may have received here

    they never locked me in a cellar or anything

    So I'm ready to begin posting video again. I recorded some video while on vacation in the state of Washington, but only managed to post two of my recordings to this site. Perhaps I'll post some more later. For now, here's a blast from the past -- something I discovered today while browsing my Gmini camcorder's archives. Surely, this has got to be worthy of a Vloggie...

    Saturday, November 04, 2006  

    If these words appear online (and in the proper format), then I may have just found the simplest way I've ever encountered of updating this blog. I'm using a software application called MarsEdit, which I've never before used.



    "What's a blog?" you ask? If you're reading this sometime in the year 2006, then I can tell you -- with nearly absolute certainty -- that a blog is this thing you're currently reading. As I compose this message in the early days of November in 2006, I know that you're not reading these words out of a paperback book you're holding in your hands. You're sitting in front of some type of monitor connected either to your desktop computer or your laptop computer (or perhaps even your mobile phone), so I know (as well as you) that you're reading some type of website. (It's the format of this type of website that makes it a blog, differentiating it from other types of websites.)



    However, if it's beyond 2006, I can't make any claims of knowing how these words are reaching you. If it's the year 2010, for example, it's just possible you're not even reading these words. Perhaps some type of artificial intelligence is reading these words aloud to you. Perhaps a gathering of hundreds is watching this text as it is displayed on a hillside monitor somewhere in the Gobi desert. Perhaps it's the year 3000, and a Harold Android toy is preaching this text to your home-schooled child. (Okay, I may be reaching a bit, there...)



    Anyway, that's your lesson for today. There will be more words, more audio, and more video in the days to follow. In the years to follow? One can only imagine.
