Now is when I could make some grandiose statement about how I resolve to post here regularly again (as if I ever did), but it seems those kinds of promises are destined to be broken.  That said, I do have some thoughts kicking around that will hopefully find their way here soon.  So we’ll see ;-).

With each new year I don’t create a resolution, per se, but I do try to have a word or theme that I try to follow.  (more…)

The previous rating system (and data, unfortunately) got lost when I switched servers, so I found and installed this plugin that’s even better than the old one.

For each post there are 5 stars you can click on (like these: ) to rate whatever it is you were reading.

So, where to begin?  Why not start with something that’s been a real passion of mine over the years:  Halloween!

And no, this is not some early April Fool’s joke.  The growing popularity of sites like Facebook and Twitter have caused me to reexamine some of the efforts I’ve taken to market “the brand of Paul Grzymkowski”.  While those relatively new sites, along with ones like YouTube, Flickr and countless others, now have folks from all over the world showcasing themselves and their works, I’ve been at it myself for quite some time.

My first effort, Paul’s Page of Pain, back in 1997 had existed to show off a little about who I was, and more about what I had done.  It underwent a number of revisions as what I did - and considered most interesting - evolved and as I learned new techniques in webdesign.  My second attempt, beautyinchaos, created in 2003, was intended to show off my work exclusively (as it contained nearly no details about myself) but did so by engaging visitors in a kind of extended conversation, instead of just listing everything on a couple pages.

But my third effort, paulogy.com was supposed to be different.  Serving the same purpose initially of showcasing my work, ultimately it was intended to showcase my life - and how the things I’ve created fit into it.  But it never really did.  And why not?

After gestating for 9 months (or more?), this site is finally being revealed to the world and allowed to roam free. And apparently you’re reading it, so welcome.

“What? Paul has a blog? No way!”

Well, yes and no. I told myself I’d never have a blog (because in general I think they’re kind of stupid) but as you’ll hopefully see, this site is a little different. Before you (t)read any further, there are some things you should know: (more…)

Life is full of questions. Many of which have plagued scientists and philosophers alike for centuries, such as: “is there life after death?”, “is there a higher power?”, and “which came first, the chicken or the egg?”. Okay, so maybe not that last one, but the point is, hundreds of these questions, from the profound to the absurd, have heretofore gone unanswered.

That is, until now.
