Sometimes you jut gotta write these things down. Maybe then they will stop bothering you. (November 2009)
In 1973 George Carlin released an album called "Occupation: Foole." One summer afternoon at Jess Feeback's house a year or two later Jess and I got out Occupation: Foole and a few other of George's LPs and sat on the floor listening. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Ever.
George's comedy and social commentary had a profound effect on me. He was pretty much a hero of mine. Still is. And like many young men I tried to emulate my hero. In my case since I was on the radio I peppered my speech with some of George's lines. In fact I started every radio show I ever did with:
I'm not on the radio any more. But I felt it would be an appropriate homage to someone who had such a profound impact on me.
Most people would call this a blog, It feels like more than that to me so I'll stick with Website.
I've been doing this website, in one form or another, since July of 1996. Much longer than most well known, professional, bloggers. Not sure whether to be proud or embarrassed.
Back then you couldn't Google. AOL was still relevant and cable just brought you a bunch of extra TV stations.
The remnants of those first awkward pages are mostly gone. And a personal website is no longer a weird affectation.
Like the thousands of blogs that have come and gone since then, this is now and always has been just a place for me to inflict my thoughts, creative urges, and vast store of opinions on my family, friends and you, the self-selected random web surfer. Unlike most other blogs created in the last five years or so, stevec.us is unlikely to vanish tomorrow.
I try not to take all this too seriously. It's a hobby. And I am not making a dime from it. My advice to you would be to not take anything written here too seriously as well.
The New Stuff to the immediate left is, as the heading would indicate, newer articles. There may be newer ones on the blog but I like these ones more.
The blog section though seemingly redundant is a newer addition. And being a fundamentally lazy hobbyist "webmaster" I just never bothered to convert all the old content over to a format Wordpress understands.
The Article Index is a list of both highlighted blog entries and articles that pre-date installing Wordpress on my server.
Feel free to quote or link to anything here. All I ask is that you properly attribute anything you use. I always encourage and am interested in your comments. But blog comments are turned off. Mostly to avoid the hassle of monitoring the site, dealing with comment spam and hackers. So if you would like comment I would love it if you would Yeah I know, "How 1996!"
