It's Talk Like a Pirate Day

As if you didn't already know that.

My pirate name is:

Black Sam Flint

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Have a great weekend

"The people pay, and laugh when they please."

Say it isn't true!

Orblogs, the great resource for Oregon bloggers great and small, has shut down, citing a growing workload in the face of a changing blogosphere. Since last last year, WWP has sensed that the role of blogs is changing, and none of it the kind that plays to the strengths of small operations like Orblogs and its devoted followers of mostly small-time operators. The trends that plague the mainstream media [conglomerations, standardization, popularity-driven content, etc.] seem to have taken hold among the blogs. What's next?

Meanwhile, thank you, Paul Bausch, for everything. You are a champ.
