Dayton's Blog: A pimple on the ass of the Internet.

For newer folks reading this: I do this about every six months or so, usually when I'm lacking for anything else interesting about which to write in this space.

I've picked up some new followers, either directly via LJ friend lists or because this blog also gets published to my Facebook account, as well as the times I mention various new entries in my Twitter feed. To everyone who's added me to their daily dose of internet banality: Welcome!

Newer peeps: if you don't mind, please take a moment to shout out here in the comments section and let me know what brings you to this dark corner of the intrawebs.

Everyone: Ask me anything, if you're so inclined, and I'll do my best to provide a thoughtful answer. Lacking that, you'll receive a wise-assed retort customized just for you! Though I reserve the right not to answer anything I deem too personal or inappropriate for this particular venue, I've yet to actually have that be a problem, so I'm not too worried.

For those of you reading this because you saw it mentioned on Facebook or Twitter and who aren't necessarily registered with LJ, please let me know who you are on those other venues (@dick_fitzwell, etc.).

I seem to have picked up some new followers in recent weeks, particularly in the last few days. To all of you newcomers who've added me to the endless streams of self-absorbed, unimportant blabbering you take in while surfing the 'net, I say "Howdy!"

For the newer peeps, please take a moment to post a comment and tell me what brings you to my corner of the internet.

Looking through my archives, I see I'm due for my twice-yearly "Ask Dayton a Question" post. So: Ask me anything, if you're so inclined, and I'll do my best to provide a thoughtful answer. Lacking that, count on a wise-assed retort customized just for you! Though I reserve the right not to answer anything I deem too personal or inappropriate for this particular venue, I've yet to actually have that be a problem, so fire away!

I've acquired some new readers in recent weeks. To everyone who's added me to the daily allotment of self-absorbed, nonsensical blatherings they take in while surfing the 'net: Welcome!

For those newer folks, if you don't mind, please take a moment to post a comment and tell me what brings you to this low-rent section of the internet.

This is also as good a time as any to play the "Ask Dayton a Question" card. It seems as though I've settled into a semi-annual frequency for this type of thing, and the calendar tells me I'm due. So, here we go: Ask me anything, if you're so inclined, and I'll do my best to provide a thoughtful answer. Lacking that, count on a wise-assed retort customized just for you! Though I reserve the right not to answer anything I deem too personal or inappropriate for this particular venue, I've yet to actually have that be a problem, so fire away!

It seems I've picked up quite a few new readers this past week, particularly in the last day or so. To everyone who's added me to their daily dose of net-based swill: Welcome! If you came here looking for thought-provoking commentary on issues of the day, reflective insights from one man making the haphazard journey through life, or some bit of inspirational or motivational gusto to help you make it through your day, I have to tell you now that you've come to the wrong frappin' journal.

If, however, you've ventured here because you might find occasional amusement from one of my smart-assed, more-than-a-touch cynical comments on whatever it is that attracts my attention, makes me laugh, or pisses me off, well, then I've got that in spades. Belly up to the bar, LJ wanderers!

For the newer folks, if you don't mind, please take a moment to shout out here in the comments section and let me (and the rest of the gang) know what brings you to this dark corner of the intrawebs.

And with all this in mind, I checked my calendar and noted that it's been some time since I pulled the "Ask Dayton a Question" card from the deck. So, here we go: Ask me anything, if you're so inclined, and I'll do my best to provide a thoughtful answer or a wise-assed retort customized just for you! Though I reserve the right not to answer anything I deem too personal or inappropriate for this particular venue, I've yet to actually have that be a problem, so I'm not too worried.

Some new folks have added me to their f-lists since I last did this. Several people have also contacted me to let me know they're reading the LJ via feeds and whatnot. That, and it's been a quiet few days (translation: I'm bored), so I figured, "Why not?"

So, I'm throwing open the LJ open for "Ask Dayton a Question." Ask me anything, if you're so inclined, and I'll do my best to provide a thoughtful answer or a smart-assed retort customized just for you! I reserve the right not to answer anything I deem too personal or inappropriate for this particular venue, of course, but from what I know of the folks reading this thing, that shouldn't be a problem.

(I'm watching you, Bubba.)

Looks like a couple of new folks have added me to their f-lists since I last checked my profile and such. Warm welcomes to kelleyco, paleologa, and rosalind_wang!

Kelley I know from Starfest, and Rosalind I know as a moderator at TrekBBS. However, paleologa is new to me. In the words of Pete Townsend: "Who Are You?" and what brings you here to my little slice of internet idiocy?

In that vein, I guess I've also reached a point, list-wise, where I can take a page from others I've seen do this and throw the LJ open to "Ask Dayton a Question." Ask me anything, if you're so inclined, and I'll do my best to provide a thoughtful answer (or, at least, a smart-assed retort customized just for you!). While I'll reserve the right not to answer anything I deem too personal or inappropriate for this particular venue, I'm generally pretty easy-going in most respects.
