Chickadee on a Branch

I finished up a new piece today.

You can check it out, along with other works, in my Etsy store.

Woe to the Loss of Civics

I was listening to some pundits discussing our delegate selection system -- observing the wide variety of opinions which felt, to me, like they were based on partial and incorrect information. And some were talking about how this Republican election felt like it was being stolen.

I wish that we all understood our republican system of government more, and the way our political parties work. If we're going to argue, let's at least all have our facts straight.

Randomness

Amazingly, I didn't have a single bowl of cereal this weekend.

That fact makes this bowl I'm eating now taste so much better.

Ah.

Bear on the Rocks

You can purchase a 6"x 6" glossy digital print at my Etsy store. If you're like me, and you've bought everything under the sun for your parents, siblings, spouse and friends for birthdays, etc., then you know how awesome it is to find a new, interesting gift!

You've found it.

One More John Locke Quote

I've got one more John Locke quote I need to share. This is from the Second Treatise on Government:

As Usurpation is the exercise of Power, which another hath a Right to; so Tyranny is the exercise of Power beyond Right, which no Body can have a Right to.
-John Locke

We put up with far too much Tyranny in this world. We would be well served to understand what it is and resist it every time.

Tyranny should be a non-partisan issue.

Weezer News

The Weez just released a new album.

Like the blue album, the green album and the red album, this one is called the white album, although it is officially called "Weezer."

I've only listened to the album once, but it was good. They are channeling some of that early 90's rock energy that put them on the map.

Check it out.

Remember Maniac Mansion?

I stumbled onto this fun video from Ron Gilbert about the making of Maniac Mansion. I thought you might enjoy it, too.
