Open the Floodgates…

Posted on 2013-11-04 by dgilbert

Open the flood­gates.  Open the blog.  Open the soft­ware.  Open the gov­ern­ment. Open Your Mind Dra­mat­ic words, no?  Mean­ing­less words?  Some would have you believe. Con­sid­er “open” for a moment. Open the Flood­gates At it’s most sim­ple, “open” rep­re­sents the … Con­tin­ue read­ing →

Back in the (Somewhat Random) Saddle

Posted on 2013-11-04 by dgilbert

I have been slack­ing.  I even have sev­er­al posts pret­ty much ready and I’ve been slack­ing.  To be com­plete­ly hon­est with myself, I think my father’s death last year affect­ed my desire to express myself more than I thought.  He … Con­tin­ue read­ing →

A Small Reorganization

Posted on 2011-11-29 by dgilbert

I think it’s time for a small reor­ga­ni­za­tion.  Accord­ing to my word­press theme, I can have one menu.  Since this site start­ed, that menu has been “Home — About — GLI.”  The “About” page real­ly isn’t required any more and … Con­tin­ue read­ing →

This Just In: Person I potentially don’t know linked to my blog

Posted on 2011-08-07 by dgilbert

I sup­pose it’s been about 8 months.  Fright­ful­ly few­er posts that I’d like to have made in that time, but about 8 months — since I start­ed the blog.  I’ve watched the sta­tis­tics… used the google tools to see how … Con­tin­ue read­ing →

New Image: Fail

Posted on 2011-06-26 by dgilbert
