Signifying nothing

The Economy is Impoving?... Originally uploaded by catinlap Sign of the time. (Taken by Friend Catinlap. q.v. flickr.)

I've accrued many blog side-projects over the years, most of which I've started and abandoned with little fanfare.  Because I am probably going to merge my "professional"  online identity with whatever the hell everything else I do online is, I've decided to merge several of my side projects directly into signifyingnothing.com.  These projects include (right now) "The Silence Project" (that did have submissions from friend Snyder and are suitably noted), my unplugged experiment, "Signifying nothing Uplugged," and "The land of lost notes."  I am leaving " disc-a-rama " as a side-project, since I have hopes that other disc golfers may decide to join in the fun of it.  " eye or orris " will also survive as an independent blog, since it is a useful reference blog for me to find pictures I've found interesting over the years. I haven't made a decision as to when I will leave signifyingnothing.com in the dust ...

For your consideration in celebration of the new issue of Signifying nothing : The Limbourg Brothers.   February , from the Very Rich Book of Hours of the Duke of Berry. c. 1415.  Manuscript Illumina tion.  Musée Cond é, Chantilly. Items to consider:   oil spills , nuclear power resurgence , climate change , power lawn mowing equipment , class-consciousness , food-source disconnection , sustainability , and fear * . I won't grade responses this time. *You will note that the people in the Limbourg Brothers' illumination probably had a great deal to fear, despite the relative security of the  trio in the house.  Note the wild birds eating seed, the broken wagon, and the hole in the roof of their sheep pen.  The machinations of the heavens above them need to be taken into consideration.
