My desk and my mind become cluttered with all the ideas and information I collect from reading and talking to my friends. Once a month I have to sort everything out, sweeping many items into the trash, and trying to figure out what everything else means.

The final step is pushing out the monthly email version of this newsletter. I hope you see some happy changes, maybe something you’ve suggested to me. First, I’d like to address the comments about my photos. I like to look as if I have a thought in my head, and smiling seems to be at odds with thinking, at least for now. Perhaps I’ll soon think of something funny while a camera is around, but don’t hold your breath.

Next, I’m trying to keep the articles short. I’ve added a table of contents on the left. I’m learning HTML so I can keep the production as lean and clean as possible. Please continue to let me know where I can improve. Thanks for being a part of my community.
