How to Look at Art is a panel discussion by that title, but there's a short poetic essay called Didactic Exposition about how I relate to sculpture that's much more important.

After I published Dallas NOTES and HOOKA underground newspapers in Dallas, I worked for The Austin Sun and The RAG in Austin, Texas. These are Austin Sun photos from 1976. I should find my negatives and put together pages of photographs from the much more important Hooka and Notes years.

Benzene
Benzene Counter

Our new, supposedly better web host, WestHost, periodically mangles all our hits counted, so it's difficult to believe them, usually noted by a big = sign or •. Luckily, the host before that — whom I used to think were the worst-ever, but now I know better — 's hits counters still work and do not idiotically reset themselves.

The left number continues to count visits here since 1:11 pm Weddy May 25 2005. (On March 21 2010 the left number was 100,983; the middle number was 467,998 and the right one was down to 0001297. This was the first time I'd noticed the left number being over 100,000. The number in the middle, from WebHost, our most recent host, may or may not now include the 121,617 hits to this page when we hosted with Earthlink, before we moved to DreamHost, as well as all of the hits we got there and whatever we've racked up since we joined WestHost.

On June 4, 2010 the number in the middle, the totalist of all hits I know for certain about, had reached 471,868 hits. Which is a comforting number. The site I had before I abandoned it (Fontaholics Anonymous) only ever got to 100,000, so I may be getting better at this. There were more hits than that at other hosts before, but this is the officialist count so far.

Our web hosts have been, in order, FlashNet, Earthlink, DreamHost and WestHost.

The two outside counters started off even. Since then, they've grown farther and farther away from each other. I think the Benzene Counter reset itself back to zero when WestHost turned their fire sprinkler system on over the servers serving this and a bunch of other websites in early March. For awhile I was calling them WetHose. Till then it stayed within a few tens of thousands of hits from the left one.

TMI about counters.

If you want to show someone one of our pages, send them the web address (URL), because we update some pages often and have not yet learned to update previously printed pages. Our Time Travel Module will be down for next couple of centuries, I'm afraid.
