[Site News] The worst idea since Midway Gardens

Because I’m an idiot easily seduced by ideas that are monumentally stupid:

Growing up, my parents always made an advent calendar a big part of the Christmas season, and it’s a tradition we have continued with Gabe.

Last week I thought that a web-based Frank lloyd Wright advent calendar would be a way to keep the Newsblog […]

“It’s an ill wind indeed . . .”

Since I have surfeit of free time, I’ve decided to strike out one of the “it would be nice if this site had a … ” items on my list. If you look above, you’ll see that I’ve added a new section to the site: one of those click-y Google maps. It shows public Frank […]

Oh, that real estate slump

I’ve never been laid off before. Frankly, it’s an experience I would have happily foregone.

And honestly, while I like the Frank Lloyd Wright Newsblog, it’s really not something I want to do full-time for free. But I’m pretty sure that wasn’t a consideration when Faceless Fortune 500 Company down-sized today. On the other hand, […]

Go forth and attend stuff

Vanquishing the dark forces of procrastination, I have at last whipped the event calendar into a rough approximation of a useful thing. I’m sure I’m missing a bunch of stuff (for example, Buffalo is oddly Wright-free for the next few months) but if I don’t know about it, I can’t post it; if you know […]

Columbus: Like nowhere, but with traffic

I have to go to Columbus, Ohio on a business trip for three days — I’m not looking forward to it; I don’t like business travel and I do not like Columbus (my GO BLUE! bumper sticker will be a big hit in Buckeye country). I hope to be able to keep up the posts […]

Links

Formerly pathetic and paltry, the links page now has a somewhat respectable number of links — and it’s even presented in a fairly pleasing manner. No one would call it comprehensive, but it is large. Sturgeon’s Law (”90% of everything is crap”) applies to the Frank Lloyd Wright web, just like everything else, so I have […]

Site note: “Quick bits”

The new page design I’m using allows for special, short posts that are visually distinct from longer, conventional posts. I’m thinking about using this feature for quick, possibly slightly off-topic, links to interesting things I might not otherwise mention. You can see an example immediately below.

I don’t really care for the “Quick bits” label applied […]

Site Note: Twiddling

I just changed the site’s layout. A few things still need to be changed and adjusted.

Sorry for the mess.

More recent Update: Links page is now working. I will probably move the links off of the side bar, though I may leave a abbreviated list of links there. The links at the bottom of the […]

Home

We are back from Fort Wayne. Gabe had a good time, which was the whole point of the trip, and, since Fort Wayne lies at the other end of the river that runs through our town, a city we should be familiar with.

Last week was a quiet week for Frank Lloyd Wright news, but, naturally, […]

Going West

I’m off to Fort Wayne, Indiana for the weekend — trying to squeeze in some fun for Gabe before he is thrown face first into the maw of Catholic education (I’m a Congregationalist, the most Protestant of Protestant faiths, and I dislike hierarchies more than most Congregationalists, which is tough, since the whole denomination is built […]
