Bots Have No Sense of Humor

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Still new to blogging, I tend to approach the job with an overwhelming list of what I want to talk about. Because I have a lot to say, and for some reason I feel like I should say it. But I am arrogant in that way; who cares about my babbling. Eventually, as my feelings are known to readers of this blog, what I say might have more impact. However, right now only Google’s bots are scanning my blog, and they cannot grasp sarcasm. That is why Google AdSense has placed Ann Coulter ads on my site, because obviously I am right-wing (Sarcasm, bots! Sarcasm!).

For now, let me focus on three subjects that I have a need to touch bases on.

One: Blazers did not play well. I can only hope that they make the needed adjustments to make this series a competitive one.

Two: Stumptown was a blast this weekend. I met quite a few artists and spent too much money on their goods. Conventions are tiring though. My energy was sapped as of last night. I am not sure that humans were meant to converse that much. The comic industry is getting stronger though. Can’t help but walk away from Stumptown with pride and excitement.

Three: Andrew and Kincaid’s birthday party was on Saturday, (another reason I had no energy Sunday night). The boys had nerf gun battles and slept outdoors in tents. I have a lot of pride in my boys; they will help make the world a better place – I know it.

OK, that is it for now. Have a wonderful day, bots.

Andrew and Stumptown 2009

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Big day today. My oldest child, Andrew, turns 12 years old today. I’m proud of him, he’s had a good year. He started excelling in three things in particular this year that make me very happy: basketball, drawing, and writing. A very talented child, I have the highest hopes for his future. Happy Birthday, Andrew.

Also today is the first day of Stumptown in downtown Portland. Stumptown is the NW comic festival that has exploded in size the past three years. I do NOT have a booth this year; the past couple of years I was associated with Puddleville which had a presence at the festival. But this has been a transition year for me. This website has just gone live, so it would be hard and pointless to push my wares. Next year, though!

Andrew, Kincaid, and I will be visiting Stumptown today and tomorrow. There are some good storytellers visiting including, Jeff Smith, creator of the Bone series. Should be a fun time.
