I Made the Daily Probe 3
Here’s the headline:
Blogger Thinks People Give a **** About His Blog
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.

Ah yes, but what the heck… if Andy Warhol were alive today, I GUARANTEE you he would have had a blog.

And it would be as empty as his art.
He was a great showman, the P. T. Barnum of his time. But no artist.
And, sadly, I am no artist.
Just a guy who knows touch-typing and has a computer.
But I’m always willing to talk, even when no one listens. Just ask my co-workers.

Or me. Zing!
