I apologize for the silence on this blog. As you may have guessed by following my Tweets and now looking at this confusing page where you are used to seeing something else, I’m in the process of moving things. You will likely find my site down or partial or inaccessible in the next days while I migrate to a new host and make some foundational changes. I will be importing many of my blog posts, though not all. The look will change, and will keep changing until I get it where I want. Those of you who subscribe to this blog(s) with a feedreader, etc. will have to change your feed details. I will be working with my FeedBurner account to make that painless for those who are subscribed that way.
Mainly, I wanted something more manageable. This version of my site is about the third or fourth in ten years, and this set of blogs have been here since 2005. I made so many different blogs (one for art, flying, etc.) because Blogger didn’t have the label/category ability for a few years and it was the only way I could figure out to best organize all the content.
The new site will be streamlined, one blog, less hassle for me and you, and more stable. It will be WordPress, not blogger. It will be more Web 2.0.
And I won’t have to deal with a dragging host with spotty support and a confusing control panel.
Migrating to a new host is always a pain, with backup and uploads and such, as well as nameservers and email accounts…but this will be a good thing. Starting new, from ground up. Those of you who have hosted images on my server may have broken image links, and will have to let me know. I will upload as needed. Of course, having a blog here as long as I have means I will leave a lot lot lot of dead links around the internet, for the posts will be gone or at least moved.
Well, it was time to start new.

Hey, have you seen this news article?
New details about Michael Jackson’s Death Emerge
I was wondering if you were going to blog about this…
Hello. I’m glad to see you’re still in business, over there in faraway North Dakota, that soul-searing and withered land of hardened clay, endless vistas of prairie grass, and intolerably cold winters. But I guess there’s something about living in such a place that contributes to your interesting (and quirky humourous) artwork. May you have every success.
