Well, retirement was fun while it lasted. I've accepted the roles of Managing Editor and Software Developer at Group Ink Media, a new independent publisher. I'd like to say I was talked into it, but that would be a lie. Curious what we've gotten ourselves into? groupinkmedia.com

I never had a room of my own growing up, so this one means a lot. It may look like chaos, but it makes me ridiculously happy. Maybe I'm odd. Maybe I'm lucky. Either way, it's all mine.

Mary Ellen Bute was making electronic visual art before “computer animation” existed. Working with engineers and scientific equipment, she used oscilloscopes, electronics, light, and film to turn musical ideas into moving images. She was effectively building a new medium before it had a name.

Someone told me that you need to make time for the things that are important to you. And to do otherwise is procrastination. They said: Imagine your water heater bursts, and there's water all over the place. You wouldn't ignore it simply because you don't have time to deal with it. You'd MAKE time.
