running with paper

I love that phrase. Certain phrases tickle or annoy me – I remember long ago wanting to eradicate the phrase “a folder named people” simply because it bothered me. And amusement at the succinctly irrationality of computer networks indicated simply by “Printers go offline at random.” And they do. Boy do they.

But that’s what I need to do around here, too. Firm up my writing, figure out what this blog is going to be, whether I bitch about Lexulous or Face-friggin-book or writing in general. If I do make this my art and creative blog, or not. I don’t know.

The face lift, styling, may just wait for WP 3.0. Or something.

Stay tuned.

But hope you enjoyed Choose Privacy Week. Funny how it’s got that blue and orange thing going on – a popular color scheme when you need to post-production fiddle with your video.

Now I have to learn as I go, but I have helpful YouTube videos to help.
