Chapter 2: Beans I do not get many e-mails at work. The ones I get are either related to a phone system failure that doesn’t affect me, the aisle copier being broken, new orders, or loaner requests. If I get a personal e-mail it is usually a link to read… Read More »Minutia – Chapter 2: Beans
After what could only be described as an extended absence, today I return to the blog world with full force. I have planned for this thin slice of cyberspace a monster of a blog. There will be 14 parts to this blog. When it has completely unraveled, it might be… Read More »Minutia: Chapter 1
I went through a little walk through the woods after work on Monday. I took the following images. They amuse me. Hopefully you will get some moments of amusement from them as well. I only came upon 3 deer during my walk. Last week I came upon ten deer. I… Read More »After Work Walk
I’m going to attempt to get out of the video posting rut that I’ve been in lately. Not that the videos I’ve posted have been bad. In fact, they have been highly entertaining. However, this here “Artist’s Notebook” isn’t supposed to be about funny videos. It is supposed to be… Read More »Randumbness
I haven’t had the “pleasure” of being on MySpace much lately. Which means that my “blogs” have become sporadic and if I’m not mistaken, lower in quality. I can’t say that this saddens me. There are more important things I should be doing with my time, but that doesn’t mean… Read More »Odonata

I have had difficulty in getting back in my mode to finish up this mostly uninteresting tale. It has been over a week since most of this stuff has transpired. My memory of the events may be more than a little bit foggy. I’ll do my best recollect these events… Read More »Reflections on the Last Few Days (Part III)
All false male bravura aside, the ride home from work today SUCKED!!! I can’t emphasize this point nearly enough. You could underline that word about 4 more times and the point still wouldn’t quite be made. I think visibility at times was a negative number. My sister asked me how… Read More »Reflection on the Last Few Days (Part II)
I was saddened on Wednesday by the passing of the founder of Hilton Magic. I have one quick story about Barry Stevens I wish to share.

I know that the deer story did not have the happy ending that we were hoping for, so let me throw this out there. Did I mention that there are also squirrels back there. So I have mentioned that I have this formal American Cancer Society Fundraiser/Oscar Party coming up… Read More »A Tale of Grotesque Proportions
So I went for a walk through the woods on Friday during my lunch break again and took these pictures. These are pictures of 3 different deer. The last one is a picture of the deer from Thursday with the broken leg. Today I went out on my break to… Read More »Deer Update
I’ll keep this brief because I have a big afternoon at work scheduled. Just thought I would throw up a few pictures that I came across yesterday while I was toiling in the computer mines. The first image comes from the David Letterman show. I don’t watch the David Letterman… Read More »Some Photos
I got lots of information to get out there, so I’m going to dispense with the niceties and just jump in and get this “blog” on!!! 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

Thank you for meeting me here. I will make this brief. Some of you may know that I work for a company that is one of the industry leaders in “practice management software”. You may also know that the “mission statement” of our company is to create “solutions for success”,… Read More »Security
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 I thought quite some time about beginning a new segment on this blog. I was going to do some endorsements. You know, endorsing products, ideas, people. I was all set to endorse my first product: Heartland Creamery Milk. In fact, I even went so far as to have the… Read More »Failed Beginning
This will be just a brief little thing. I just wanted to take time to mention that yesterday at work I finally got a picture of one of the ground hogs that lives out behind my place of employment. I have wanted this picture ever since I first saw one… Read More »A Good Day at Work
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
