Footer videos

New Zealand Police Recruitment Video…

Introducing A Used 1996 Honda…

Car Max Response Video…

It should make you feel ill…

Edit like you mean it…

The artistic risks here inspire me to take my own…

Diversified editing to the extreme…

Perfect example of creative, minimalistic storytelling…

Get organized for your death…

These nine videos have been removed from this blog’s footer section.

Why?

The upgrade from WordPress Twenty Twenty-One theme to Twenty Twenty-Two.

But why?

Seamless theme upgrades where a click away. Now, this upgrade is beyond my experience level. Once my experience catches up, i may resume footer videos.

Comments are a backdoor

30-second video: Between all five blogs, deleted 10,805 comments. Nearly half (5,050) are my replies.

Over-focusing means paying attention to every detail. Details others under-focus on or ignore.

Note: From 2008-2016 you could leave a comment. You could also socially share posts. Disabled both features. Also deleted all plugins. Added a 50+ character password. Why do these things? Minimize backdoor brute force cyber-attack attempts success. How’s this for letting go of the past…

35-second video: Scary, yet freeing. Deleted 10,800 comments today.
22-second video: Another 2,300+ comments permanently deleted.
90-second video: Snippet of the comment-deletion process.
20-second video: The final 2,500 comments deleted…10,800 total. Yee-haa! No worries though, there are 26,000 blog posts to peruse.

There’s an amazing sense of freedom from doing what you didn’t think you could do. It’s easy to feel emotionally attached to 10,000 comments…a window to the past.

15 years (reprise)

15-second video: Sitting lakeside. Quietly (making no noise). Alone. Until a Mountain Goat arrives for a drink. This lake sits at 6,000′ elevation.

This will not be the 15-year blogging commencement final mention.

Why?

Because it’s mid-Summer 2022.

Writer’s flood produced an insane blog post surplus.

It’s always five daily, differently-themed blog posts. And sometimes, the five-a-day post writing turns into 10, 20, and occasionally 50 (10 days worth) posts in a single day.

You know what?

Amazon Book sales rank screen shot
That bottom line in the photo…reaching #18k on the best sellers rank…felt good. Side note: book uploaded to Amazon database Oct 10. Waited until Thanksgiving to make the official announcement.

You know what?

No, what?

What you have accomplished is pretty cool.

And the fact that you do what you do simply because you enjoy thinking, writing, and teaching…

You are deeply blessed my friend.

me: “i know.”
