The joke on Monday was this has been a hard week.

It’s Saturday night now.

Life is good, really. Perspective is hard to maintain, but if I’m being serious, life is good.

SEO spambots

They’re fascinating. They leave a distinct URL ‘from’ address in the logs that if clicked on, redirect to a malware loaded spam page. It’s pretty clever. If I didn’t pay attention the logs, I wouldn’t notice the spam, but people who pay attention to logs are probably the most likely targets for SEO spam.

Good scam.

Story Idea

Sometimes I come up with ideas right before I fall asleep and scrawl them down so the world isn’t deprived of my unfettered genius.

Who wants to hear about the Little Boy and His Fairy God-Bear?

Ages

Of all the times to be stuck indoors during a pandemic, one where video games, conference calls, and video meetings are commonplace is the best of difficult options.

We have no options regarding our times, but lots of them regarding our responses to it. And video games are pretty nice.

Interior

The interior of Mara and the trolls is complete.

I’m tentatively setting a publication date of Friday, May 15th, for the paperback version with an ebook soon to follow.

This is happening.

Good work, sidewalk chalk people. Draw on stuff! I only get out once a day, if that, and have to avoid people when I do, but the sidewalk drawing is a welcome bit of color. Keep doing it!
