There's a new dog at large

When my website-hosting company, Hostcentric, inexplicably began functioning about as smoothly and efficiently as the federal government, health care and the mainstream media, I decided to try fiddling around with a couple of alternatives to running my own largely unused communications empire. The first furry toe in the blogging water was a WordPress account that I can't get set up quite the way I'd like it; the second is the one you're looking at right now.

I might just go with this one. Frankly, I really don't need all the bells and whistles I'd worked into the original DogS(h)ite — and neither do you, because I hardly ever played any tunes on 'em. Most of the links were rarely updated or outright ignored. Cam, 'Toons, Mad Dog Unleashed, Radio Free Dogpatch — they all sat there like strays no one was gonna adopt. What's a dog to do?

Lift his leg on the whole deal, that's what. All I want to do is bark incessantly, howl at the moon, and leap over the fence (or dig under it). Tip over a few trash cans. Water neocons' lawns (and maybe their shoes, too).

Consider this the first squirt.
