Well the response to my anti-Dasher Management rant and artwork has been universally negative. Just some of my favorite e-mail responses: “What you don’t… Read More »Rectification
I wish to begin with a quote by Henry Ward Beecher: The overweening self respect of conceited men relieves others from the duty of respecting them at all. Perhaps you don’t understand why now, but you will understand soon enough. You see my first endorsement is of myself. Well not… Read More »A First Endorsement
Some times it pays to show up for work. Usually whatever your hourly wage happens to be, unless you are on salary then you are consistently being robbed. There are times when it REALLY pays to show up for work. I’m talking about when you have a high quality converstaion… Read More »Score!

So most of the 2007 Calendars have been printed, laminated and bound. There are just a few left that need to be distributed. If you still want a calendar and didn’t get your order in, better let me know. Because 2007 begins in 13 hours and every day that a… Read More »2007 Calendar

By popular request, a page of snapshots from the UNI game has been added to the website. I made the pictures even bigger because I think some times it is difficult to know what is going on in the picture. Snapshots from the UNI Game
Much has transpired since the last time that I took keyboard in hand and banged down a few thoughts for the World Wide Web. I won’t discuss many of those matters at this time. I’m only going to bang out some thoughts about the UNI-ISU football game on last Saturday.… Read More »A Cyclone Victory

I failed in my quest to get “Building 429” properly framed for display last night. I also learned that my attempts to get “Blue Steel” placed prominently in Salon 908 will not result in anything tangible. However, “Earth’s Laughter Series – #04” might get a spot on their walls. Jesse… Read More »Blue Steel Plans Halted

Pufferbilly Days has now passed. At some point in the future I will go up to the Chamber of Commerce and retrieve my pictures, trophies, and ribbons.
