Andre went and linked here, so I feel like I should at least tell you that I spend an extraordinary amount of time on Tumblr lately. We can talk about the politics of that if you'd like. I don't love them. However, if you want to know what I'm thinking ...
I've wanted a Soda Stream for ever. Unfortunately, they're insanely monopolistic -- the only reason you can't fill their gas canisters at any welding supply store is that they put boobie trapped valves on them -- and their plants are in settlements in the West Bank. So I decided to make my own.
Yak shaving, but who doesn't love that? Note: I realize this is possibly the worst organized collection of posts you've ever found. I often think I should straighten up around here, but I haven't done it yet. So do accept my apologies and think of this place as a junk ...

Part of me wants to ditch this particular project. Part of me wants to push myself to write more. About slow gardening (get to know the dirt) and open newsrooms and (lately, again) games. But ... Tumblr. @embell said Tumblr is for people who don't like to write -- I'm ...
