Comments are Working Again —
There’s a plugin I had called Gatekeeper. Gatekeeper is retarded, and did exactly the wrong thing. Now Gatekeeper is fired. Please feel free to comment at will.

Head Down —
January’s a wash. I mean, not really a wash for me, per se, but as far as outward appearances go, I am sure I appear to be dead. This weblog hasn’t really been updated, I’ve not been throwing out a ton of new stuff, I went to the hospital… it’s all because of the movie. […]
Where The Hell Is Jason —
…Jason is Editing. Just no way around it. The remainder of this month and most of January are going to be pretty light in terms of weblog postings. When I do “real” ones, that is, ones with a beginning, middle, and end and which present some position or information and then researched as deep as […]
Wait, How Many Pounds? —
I got mail from someone who saw I took in all those other magazines and books. “Hey, we’re getting rid of a bunch of magazines and books. Do you want them?” “Sure,” I said, “I’ll take it. Without question. I’ll pay for postage.” “Great.” So a little while and hundreds of dollars in postage later, […]
The Forgotten Chain —
Recently, I swapped a lot of my stuff to gmail. Let’s address this immediately: What? Jason Scott switched to a “cloud” service? Well, no, I’m paying Google for this service and they’ve demonstrated excellent uptime, except when they haven’t. But I am paying them (and Flickr, and a bunch of other services) when I use […]
Reboot —
Oh, it has been an eventful month. Sorry for the weblog getting short shrift, but I think it’s a good situation that daily life needs trump weblogging duties. That’s always been my policy, and ideally I can write essays (I try to avoid using this to write small, dashed-off half-thoughts) and still do other things […]
A Collection Loses Energy —
As one might spend a lot of time making a collection as good and complete as it can be, I’ve decided to take one of mine apart. But I thought there might be some education or smirking memories as to how this collection occurred in the first place, so let’s just cover that a bit. […]
Why We Correct —
In Sandman #20, “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream”, a performance of the Shakespeare play of that name is performed in front of the characters it was based on. Afterwards, the King of Fairie comments “..this diversion, although pleasant, is not true. Things never happened thus.” The Sandman, who has comissioned the creation of the play, responds “Oh, […]
TEXTFILES.COM Call for Interns —
Well, here we go. I’m trying to clear out a bunch of backburnered projects this year. Some of them involve scanning, some involve sorting, and others involve cataloging. They’re all in that “getting this time-consuming process finished” realm, which doesn’t necessarily need me, in the personal sense, doing all the tasks. Here’s an example: I […]
The Collection —
Here is how it is done. After a couple days of delightful reunions and questionable criticism flare-ups at the Open Video Conference, I am walking what is supposed to be a few blocks to a post-event dinner. In fact, it is a many-block walk, and I am walking with Kevin Driscoll, who I know through […]
