The Story of the Wayback Machine
One of my favorite little metaphors is "The Wayback Machine," which is a Rocky & Bullwinkle reference. I found the following clip which shows the origin of the machine:
You are such a Peabody (but in touch with your inner Sherman) - a great clip; I'm sure I saw the original as a kid but had no idea what was getting poured into my head via the teevee! :)
Mundane, uninteresting, and unremarkable. Some of it is just plain weird. Hopefully nothing here will be judged embarrassing, offensive, or objectionable. Mostly it's the equivalent of digital doodling, a throwaway journal, a cyberjunk drawer. While a few friends check in from time to time, I mostly blog here to amuse myself and keep words flowing out the ends of my fingers. It's a process thing.
Regular readers (all three of you) have noticed the dramatic increase in running content here. In an effort to keep this contained, I have created Steve's Running Blog. If you're not reading about running here, know that I am still at it.
Oh, and you'll hear some really good music here if you listen for it.
My Online Mixes
Click on the album art below to listen to one of my online mixes. Read descriptions here.
I blog about music and hobbies and whatever happens to be going on at the moment. I don't use my real name here at the suggestion of the EFF. I mean, you know what happens to people who use their real names in blogs, right? Their kids are abducted and murdered, they get fired from their jobs... you see stories about them on CNN. But you know who I am, don't you?

Wow, Peabody and Sherman were smart. Never realized they were early "edutainment" until this look through the wayback machine (aka YouTube). ;)
