Almost Everything You Need To Know
As a teenager I dreamed of becoming a writer. Of course, I dreamed of becoming an automobile designer, a radio disk jockey, a broadcast journalist, and a ladies man.
Not necessarily in that order. Yes, I'm still dreaming.
I wrote fiction for our high school newspaper. Fiction and I seemed to find common ground (as most of my high school book reports would attest) and I found it rather simple to implement my talent for fiction in other classes such as English, History, Physics, Algebra, and Trigonometry. Really. Math as fiction. Who knew?
Childhood for Ron McElfresh was mostly normal. Teenage years were mostly normal, though more eventful (I found girls). Adulthood, on the other hand, is completely different than I expected.
I advise everyone to avoid adulthood wherever possible. That's what I'm doing now. It’s difficult. But I’m working at it.
The internet age of personal publishing provides an opportunity for creative expression, whether anyone pays attention or not.
A blog is much like a marriage. You're there. You say things. No one really listens. Rinse. Repeat.
This site is produced mostly the old fashioned way. By hand. For coding, I use RapidWeaver which produces static, non-dynamic, fully validated XHTML pages using validated CSS. Those are web standards which make web pages look mostly the same in whatever browser choice you’ve made.
For many months, this site was served on a Mac mini on my desk. Now it is served at Site5 along with other family web sites.
PS - if this is not much of a fun read for you, try the original McElfresh site. Fewer articles, more photos, less fun. If you need more fun than those sites, then additional daily nonsense can be read, viewed, or ignored at the extensive McElfresh family site (complete with photo gallery, podcasts, and a family blog), or HawaiiBlogger, where you'll learn everything you never knew about life in Hawaii.
Thoughts and commentary on the iPhone can be found at McSolo. The site even includes a few photos, but is mostly nonesense about the iPhone.
You may choose to ignore all my musings and ramblings, but you'll be a better person if you read them all.
If you require a really different perspective, perhaps that of the powerful, rich, and famous, I publish and edit Hillaryzilla. Hillary who? Yes, her. Hillaryzilla is everything you really think she's thinking but she hasn't told anyone but her diary. And, since Barack Obama looks more like a winner everyday, then you're probably wondering what he really thinks, too. Find out by reading pages from his secret diary at Obama's Diary.
Literary nonsense comes in many forms.
