So the great thing about this iPad is that I can finally get back to blogging. Ah, the basics.

Of course, all of you will simply have to hope that I’m wearing my PJ’s.

Anyway, I’ll get down to it. It’s been about a year since I’ve done any real blogging. If I ever did any real blogging, but I digress. And it’s been a pretty good year. Like a tire. A Goodyear tire. Check?

You’ll notice off to the right that there’s still a book you can buy from Amazon called, “The Power of Myth” by Joseph Campbell. It’s still there because I still recommend it. It’s a good book if you want to understand some of the psychology and cultural impact of myth (which is code for “religion”).

On a less spiritual and more practical note, I’ve also recently read HTML5 for Web Designers, by Jeremy Keith. Short, well written, a great first entry to the A Book Apart series.

That’s it for now. I hope to do this more regularly in the future. Rock on.
