Indiana Wants You 0

Many years ago I was on a business trip to Chicago. I was staying at a downtown Chicago hotel not far from what was then known as the Sears Tower, because the hotel was just a few blocks from Chicago Union Station, the site of my training gig. In the hotel bar, I overheard two dressed-for-success yuppies in their power ties (today they would no doubt be “hipsters”) discussing rumors of impending layoffs at Sears HQ, which, surprisingly enough, was in the Sears Tower.

After a bit of back forth, one of them put down his drink, looked up determinedly, and said resolutely, “I know this. No matter what happens, I’m never going back to Indiana.”

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.
