About and Links

I wrote the first draft of the About stuff tonight. It still needs a great deal of color and pizazz, but otherwise, it's about there. I worked on Links yesterday and today, and it's in about the same shape. I aslo added the Creative Commons license and will eventually clarify that so that all posts and comments fall under that license unless otherwise stated by the author. I also need to add a slashdot-like disclaimer that neither I nor my ISP are responsible for the content of the posts or external links.

Mark Twain on War

Statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.

Welcome

I've finally begun to work on a family web site. I've decided to set it up as a blog, thus avoiding the tedious "what's new" maintenance. If it's on the front page here, it's new.

Watch this space, though. As I catch up on things past, many of the entries will be backdated to reflect their (approximate) dates, so this thing is going to grow in both directions. Please avail yourself of the comments link below if you have suggestions, requests, etc.

Don't worry too much about layout and cosmetics. That will be changing as I get things going, too.
