So we found out that a storm broke the mounting for an antenna on the tower, causing it to move randomly, causing our net connection to blip in and out.  That's fixed now, so service should return to what passes for normal here.  I'm slowly digging through the backlog.

These are some posts from the later part of last week in case you missed them:
Poem: "Cover Stories"
Analyzing White Characters
A Captain America Wimp
Plans and Goals
New Crowdfunding Project: "The Drawing Contraption"


I'll do the followup report for the September 4, 2012 Poetry Fishbowl when I can. There will be a mid-month fishbowl on Tuesday, September 18.
