So, after five hours, 200 miles, and the usual depressing–depressing because she’s so ill–visit with my mother, I get here, check in, and fire up the computer.

First, Linux tells me that the file system has been rebooted 27 times without a disk check and, dammit, it’s checking the disk whether I want it to of not, so go away for 15 minutes.

Then, I fire up the innertubes, get ready to listen to the news, and the MP3 server at the Best Public Radio Station in the Country ™ tells me that it’s full. Then the Real Audio server tells me the same thing, so I’m stuck with listening to the second best public radio station in the country.

And they’re not going to talk about the Phillies.

This website does not track you.

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.
