Welcome to my website.

This is the hand-coded companion to my blog, whose technology still currently surpasses my abilities as a webmaster. Currently it's in a parked status. Soon, however, I hope to include plenty of cross-linking.

For a long, long time the domain had been slated to get the Flash treatment like Guy Hundere's site. During this period, he and I could never come to much agreement over how best to leverage the technology of the internet. More on that later.

I'm trying like hell to compose copy to update with, but it's become quite daunting, for a number of reasons:

• I refuse to simply host gallery images of my work, since I'm now convinced that any concept worth publishing will rely on accompanying text far more than pictures to convey its meaning.
• I'm an artist, not a writer. My goal is to exploit the new opportunities provided by the internet, a medium that is NOT an extension of print nor video.
• I'm terrible with the rough draft process, despite the fact that I've gathered heaps of notes ready to begin building with. More recently, I've come to believe that my notes may not be the productive tool I thought they would be.
• Even though I've measured my typing speed at 50-60 word per minute, that's still a snail's pace against the rate of speech. If you've ever seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, you might remember the scene where the character played by Robert Redford failed miserably at a challenge that forced him to restrict his posture as he shot. (blah, blah…) You could look at me like that: fast, hyper-focused, and effective, but only when I'm allowed to move freely. Video/sound may be the next step.

YouTube just revamped there browser-based editor. And I just started using MacRabbit's 2.0 version of Espresso, which is a coder's dream come true. Along with good advice from people at Geekdom and San Antonio Wordpress MeetUp, I should have this licked in no time.

I have no plans on installing a blog or CMS on this site because I want to do things here that I don't know yet how to do with PHP or mySQL.
