OK, so I decided to start a real blog

I've been doing bits and pieces about myself all over the net. Usually when the mood struck me, I'd start up a single subject web page, usually on http://www.webspawner.com. At this point, I have decided to integrate all of those pages into one whole-- sort of a way of integrating my personality together at the same time too.

At this point in my life, things can be said to be a stable mediocre. Day to day life consists of the same rituals.

The fourth edition of my book, "You Can Build the Lost in Space Robot" was officially released a month ago. Reaction has been enthusiastic. It's an odd thing: I derive a great deal of satisfaction from writing, laying out and editing books. If there was no money involved at all I think I'd still do it.

You know, I have never been happy with any photos that have been taken of me (I tend to avoid cameras when I can). The photo accompanying this blog is no exception. It's a self taken photo, and as such it looks a little odder than most photos of me. I have a decent photo of myself in a suit, but that most certainly isn't the real me. What is here will have to suffice.

I must confess something too: I don't like looking at myselfd on video. Mike Clark video'd me for a sequence in his tape "Robot Memories Act 2," several years ago. I still haven't had the courage to watch it.

But enough of that for now. I'll swipe text from my other websites and flesh this out to a proper blog.
