About
We are all blind in so many ways…. I write about those things that seem important, strike me funny or help me understand what perplexes me. It is you that reads and ferrets out the significance and how it connects to your own thinking and interests. On my own, any action I take or words I write or emotions I express remain unseen and unheard.
If you happen to be reading this blog and something makes you think, laugh or gives you some type of understanding you didn’t have otherwise, that’s a good thing… hopefully. My writings are full of contradiction, mistakes in grammar, typos and cowboy wisdom because I am not a well-seasoned pen. I tend to think in abstract unrelated but connected chunks and usually due to that, leave out important parts of every story. The grammar, style and punctuation thing, well…I try to get it right so what the hey…. I’m just trying to do my part to make the world a better place. You may think (which I would probably agree) I am a dreamer with notions of Grandeur but really, I’m just like you. We are not anything lessor or greater than average, depending on the day.

I’m changing my tagline from “Thoughts from my poor over-clocked underachieving brain, it’s just a matter of record” to “The Art of Balancing creativity with Reality”. Why? Because my taglines have changed numerous times along with my state of mind. Since I’m on the verge of discovering new and creative ideas that I think will be successful (what’s new!) and I plan on doing more meaningful documentation that will go beyond my normal fill in babble, I thought it would be appropriate.
NO, no, no wait! I’m changing it again…..Let’s try “Crafting puns and art from tools and hardware”. Now that’s about as ambiguous as it gets!
I had this thought years ago and it seems fitting for this occasion-
There is a certain beauty I see in technology. The interaction and movement amongst a coordinated group of parts that produces a certain rhythm and a visual dance which ends with a specific mechanized purpose. It’s art in motion, a repeating play that is only as precise as the creator wishes.
Back in 1989 or around that time, I had to take off my Artistic hat and put on my responsibility hat. Until last month I have been working at taking care of business and responsibilities. Neither of which had anything to with my creative work. Sure, I dreamed and I dreamed but never could see that someday I could return to the work that I love and believe in. It is a accumulation of all my failures. It is just a matter of playing with objects and ideas and deciding what I like and then building it. Solving visual problems, manipulating ideas and overcoming what most would think to be impossible to do, that’s what I do.
