Selfie-Stuck in the Mud 0

Selfie Sticks are officially passe.

How do I know? There’s one for sale in my most recent Publisher’s Clearing House mailing. (PCH is one of my secret vices. Entering the sweepstakes is cheaper than entering the lottery, and the odds of winning the big one are just about as good. A first-class stamp is a cheap price to pay for a dream.)

Afterthought:

I’m so old I can remember when PCH was truly a “clearing house” for “publishers,” when their primary products were seconded books, rather than gadgets escaped from a Ronco ad.

A long, long time ago, I ordered a copy of Fanny Hill from them. I considered it an educational expense.

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.
