This is what one of my customers told me this morning when I fixed her problem without actually doing anything.
So I was doing some research for another post and I stumbled across this: You can read about it here.
Madman posted recently that he was ‘surprised’ at the amount of activity to the blog right after I posted my first post after a several year hiatus. Really, there isn’t anything to be jealous of. People like variety in their diet. I know when I eat the same thing daily, like salads, there comes a […]
I update the site every three days. Heather makes one post after a two year break. Observe which one gets the most attention:
In my post yesterday I kept trying to find a way to abbreviate ‘Valentine’s Day’ (besides just leaving off the ‘St.’ like everyone else).

BB: Well, you know, are we staying purely on the topic of animation, or […]
“Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.” “Don’t hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.” It is difficult to cull from Theodore Roosevelt’s vast store of brilliant quotes. I was barely aware of him outside of Looney Toons caricatures until I read James Chace’s […]
