The Digital Arcana Blog of Holding
For many years, I have been encouraged by my wife to write this story but I have never taken the time. Tonight I was told by a very good friend that, if I hadn’t written it yet, I would very likely never write it. This of course was blatant reverse psychology but I am genetically [...]
Thanks to Hugeness for inspiring a rare blog post here at Digital Arcana.
We gather here to mourn the loss of an old friend: Customer Service.
Let us bow our heads and remember a time when you could walk into a store or restaurant and be greeted in a friendly manner by a store employee that did [...]
Yummy.
Ok. Everybody’s doing it. It would figure I’m gray…
Your rainbow is shaded gray.
What is says about you: You are an elegant person. You appreciate tradition and wisdom that comes with age. You depend on modern technology and may feel uncomfortable without it.
Find the colors of your rainbow at spacefem.com.
Still… The description is fairly accurate.
Mostly, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in prose and dialog. The last few thousand words have been like pulling teeth, and I’m sure I have a few edits to do before it’s anywhere near ready for prime time. But it is DONE!!!
It’s been an interesting experience for me, since I’ve never set out to [...]
Listening to the radio on the way into work this morning, I heard about a new website and their desire to bring independent film to more viewers on the web. In this case, it’s a good cause in many ways, because they are currently showcasing films in remembrance of the losses of 9/11.
I usually don’t like these things, but this one sounds fun, and I’m having a really bad day, so here it goes:
- Choose a singer/band/group
- Answer using ONLY titles of songs by that singer/band/group
- Tag 7 more people. Or not.
I choose: Rush. (You HAD to see that coming.)

I set myself a task during yesterday’s trip to the MD Renaissance Festival: To get as many pictures of “food on a stick” signs as I could. The results of my labor:
And last but not least: People on sticks. Not food, but they are on sticks.
I love the Renaissance Festival!
Getting older sucks, that’s what! We’ve achieved much on the porch. Have a look at my lovely wife’s blog for photographic evidence. In the process, however, I managed to do something unfortunate to my left elbow. I also ended up pretty wiped out. That, in combination with other factors, made it difficult to get away [...]
Ok, there’s something about that much construction potential sitting in one’s driveway. Pam took a picture with her cell phone yesterday… isn’t it beautiful? Wait until you see it assembled.
Hopefully you won’t have to wait long. Right now, I’ve got a pounding sinus headache that started yesterday afternoon. Hope I can kick [...]
I have always been fond of Hanlon’s Razor, particularly because I can use it to curb my temper when I feel like someone is screwing with me. (For example, “sidezoomers” as in my “I absolutely love this strip!” post.) So, I was very excited to see this reference to Hanlon’s Razor as well [...]
