Anudder home.
Where did I put my html tags? I thought I packed them with my socks, but they don't appear to be in there. WFT, man.... getting a new home is always such a pain.
No, friends. We have not abandoned the abandoned Cheney Hammer Mill. That would be something you might expect from the department of redundancy department (of redundancy). We have, however, abandoned our old web site and moved into a new one, designed by, I don't know, professional web designers... as opposed to my sorry ass, who threw together our last site with Front Page and some tweezers ... not to mention some cracked old photo manipulation software. Yeah, that's right. Do I have to draw you a picture? (Actually... that would have been better than what came out of that software.)
Anywho... out with the old, in with the new. We've been using Wordpress for Hammermill Days (and, earlier, Notes from Sri Lanka) for over five years, and so we thought, hey, why not build the whole freaking site using the same software? It actually works, you can edit it from anywhere using a Web browser.... How easy is that? Too easy! That's what Mitch Macaphee says. Being a mad scientist, he thinks things should be hard ... at least as hard as building Marvin (my personal robot assistant) was. Sure, he built Marvin out of spare parts and bric-a-brac he had lying about his lab, but that doesn't mean it was easy. Building a sentient being never is, my friends.
Now, the cynical and suspicious-minded amongst you (and you all know who you are) will imagine that this web site face lift is all about our supreme ambition to become special assistants to inevitable president-elect and future king of the moon Newt Gingrich; that we somehow abandoned and discarded our illin', aging old web site for a shiny, sexy younger one, like ... well, like ... something some politician did once. That is a dirty lie. Fact is, we have already been invited by Newt Gingrich - future president and current Lincoln in his own mind - to advise him on interplanetary relations including, most specifically, his plans for our nearest neighbor in space. In point of fact, we will be a bit like the late Richard Holbrook, who was given the Af-Pak portfolio. (We will be in charge of the Moon, Mars, and Saturn, so it might be called the LunaMaSa portfolio, in media culture shorthand-speak.)
So anyway... welcome to Big Green's new home on the Web. Take a look around. Kick the tires. Leave comments. Move in to one of the pages and order expensive dinners. Glad to have yuh.
