My favorite recipe…
Tuna Casserole
Ingredients: 1 large casserole dish
Place the casserole dish in a cold oven. Place a chair facing the oven and sit in it forever. Think about how hungry you are. When night falls, do not turn on the light.

Having a very bad week. Time to dig out No Exit. If the full-blown misery of a French existentialist can’t make me feel better about my life, nothing can.
Is the internet really forever?
Lately there’s been talk of the “Right to Be Forgotten” — which some are calling the biggest threat to free speech on the internet. Here’s a brief article on NPR.
…and here’s Ferrett talking about blogging honestly, and how things he said years ago still occasionally bite him — and why he’s OK with that.
As for myself I fall somewhere in the middle. When I was younger, and the internet was still basically AOL and having your own domain name was a pretty big luxury, I reinvented myself maybe once a year, sometimes leaving nothing but a handprint and a “see you all later” note in place of my stories, photos, and various scribblings.
These days I try to strike a balance between saying what I mean, and not being tremendously offensive. Sometimes I screw up, and sometimes I’m wrong, and sometimes I still think I’m right but then realize maybe it’s best to just back the hell off anyway. Will I keep on keeping on? Probably. It’s not like I have anything better to do, right?
Ha! I’m not the only one…
