The other weekend, I was in a hotel while taking care of some business down at the farm. It was one of those hotels with a complimentary breakfast–you know, cereal dispensed from fruit juice dispensers, cold boiled eggs, and pseudo-bagels.

(I say “pseudo-bagels” because they were cinnamon-raisin bagels. Cinnamon-raisin “bagels” are not bagels. They are cookies.)

The news was on (I didn’t even know that the Today Show had osmosed to Saturday mornings!) discussing the Wall Street Wankers. The subject matter broke down the usual quiet of such breakfast rooms, where the guests tend to murmur apologies to each other for being in the way at the coffee pot, eat in silence, read the MacDonalds of newspapers USA Today, or converse quietly with their families or traveling parties at their tables.

The eight or ten guests were talking loudly and enthusiastically amongst themselves, discussing the news and offering theories.

Then one comment brought the diners to agreement:

The whole damn lot of them would look good in orange.

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.
