I hope we go back to Backbone State Park this year or at least do more hiking in the woods! I love being in nature and all this snow doesn’t make it easy :)

I’ve been obsessively watching YouTube how-to-draw videos by various artists but one of my favorites is Mark Crilley. Not only is he talented but he is generous and really loves and tries to please his fans. If that wasn’t enough he is funny (in a slightly goofy way) but approaches each video with enthusiasm and [...]

Short Poems with Photography
Reblogged from monochrome jade thoughts: Dry leaves engulf flames signal sin miles away… Magma melts tangled roots leaves empty hallways hallowed veins wait to be full… My lips melt wax crimson beads unbutton a curved spine… Asylum eyed girl sits across a mirror making crisscrossed exes over hallow eyes, shallowly smiling… Wanted to try this [...]

This page tells you who is voting for and against (or leaning against) the SOPA/PIPA legislation: http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/ After being harassed (or rather petitioned by his fellow Iowans online and on the phone) Chuck Grassley switched sides on the controversial SOPA/PIPA situation. I blogged about this the other day after blacking this blog out in protest [...]

2011 in Review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people.

On Wednesday January 18 2012 I joined many webmasters and mistresses (does anyone use those archaic titles on the inter-webs anymore?) in blacking out my blog blastedgoat in protest of censorship proposed in the SOPA and PIPA bills. I signed the reddit/PCCC petition to Congress… PETITION TO CONGRESS: Don’t let big corporations use lobbyists and [...]
