Here be dragons!
I don’t think a generic web directory is very worthwhile these days. We are still keeping the old Open Directory Project going, now at curlie.org. But, now it is owned by one person who has their own idea of what matters. Software seems to matter more than getting people involved or helping them find it … Read more
Did you ever play the Mousetrap game? It’s based on the idea of making a convoluted contraption to catch a mouse. The part of the game I most remember is watching all the parts of the machine work one after the other (like all those rows of dominoes people construct) to end up catching the … Read more

But, I’m finding the project is too big and too vast to take on and build to my own standards of over-perfection. So, I am just working on a directory for … Read more

Today I had an email (sent from the contact form on my thegrrl.com site) they asked me to change my links from indieblogger.com (which closed in 2007 or thereabouts) to another domain.
