At our pre-meeting TWUUG dinner last night, we had a new participant from Finland. One of the guys told a story of wearing a “Planet Hollywood Helsinki” tee shirt, which he bought as a souvenir of a visit to Finland, to the grocery store (I would have bought something a little more Finlandish than a U. S.-based restaurant chain tee shirt, but that’s me).

The checkout cherk asked him, “Where’s Helsinki?”

“Finland.”

Then she asked, “Is that a New England state?”

Thus today’s quote of the day, from Ambrose Bierce:

War is God’s way of teaching Americans geography.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
