We spent most of the day yesterday at the Don Hershey presentation put on by Historic Brighton. It was a delight to meet Don’s two sons, Ken and Al and hear their fascinating stories about their father and the homes he built around town.

After the meeting Peggi and I wandered through the basement of the Brighton Town Hall looking for a bathroom and finally spotted the “Mens” and Womens” rooms. That was just the jolt I needed to post a few updates to my Tumblr site.

Funky Signs

I’ve been squirreling away sign photos, looking for the right format to post them with for quite some time. I had a batch on the Refrigerator and I put a batch into a php/mysql database on Popwars but I got bogged down with the mechanics and then I read the article on Tumblr in Sunday’s NYT Magazine. I like the guy’s philosophy for sharing content, so much cooler than the dreaded fb.

So I set up another blog. Just what I need. I picked the simplest theme (it’s called “Simplification”), one column, no geegaws. I wanted to get the endless scrolling feature going like my nephew has on his Twitter page but I don’t think it works with my theme. I’m just getting started but I found something to eat up my spare time. With 64,000,000 blogs, I was kinda surprised no one had taken “Funky Signs“.
