I received an Oliver Hardy Duck today (05.16.07) from Celebriducks, which is one of the many duck websites I will be listing on the sidebar gratis of revenue.  Celebriducks and Rubbaduck are the creators of the really high end ducks, which tells you how out of control this whole pastime of rubber duck collecting has gotten.  I do like the limited editions, and if there was one duck I would really strive to get ahold of is one of the ducks from 1991 that floated around the world due to a transport ship crashing and losing it’s cargo.  Eric Carle wrote a great childrens book about it that my kids just love. 

I also like putting stuff up roughly twice a week, as the blogging slowly becomes an addiction.  I do try to write some things in advance, but I’m having a hard time as a) it isn’t fresh and b) I just want to post and post.  Why didn’t someone tell me about this before I got into it?  Brian has a new tumblr log that I should be checking out, but haven’t had a chance to yet.  Maybe this weekend I can get a peek.  Is it just me or are we all becoming reporters?  No matter if it’s news or opinion, it seems that the whole world is running to the web.  If you are reading this, I suspect I’m telling you something you already know.  But what you may not know is the greatest story of all.  I haven’t always known it, frankly, and somewhere in here I’ll tell you how I came to know it.

It seems that I should put out some sort of concrete measurement of what I want to achieve with this site (I think Merlin would approve).  So I’m going to throw some out there and see how the next year shapes up.

1) Have a site with values firmly ensconced with the values of Christ.

2) Have an income producing site to the point that it’s self maintaining.

3) Have a site that’s as amusing to me as it is to everybody else.

Now, as long as I continue to ask myself “am I meeting these goals?”, from time to time, we’ll be just fine.  I did for a moment consider changing this to a tumblog (a la Leo Laporte), but it seems a bit too drive by for what I want to accomplish. 

I do want to give a big thanks to Brian over at Randomthink.  Brian’s put up with me for quite a few years and most recently helped me set up the whole database side of Wordpress.  I didn’t even know what I was getting into, but I gave him a call and he came to the rescue.  Please go see what he and his wife Lisa are up to.

And here’s duck number 2.  I will be working on thumbnails and size over the next week.  Should be fun!
