Hello again.

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

It’s been quite a while since Polished Scrawl has been online in any real, tangible form—since those dark days when the world was but swirling chaos. But consider it now, once again, very real and very tangible…although, there are some supplemental pieces (photos and the like) still missing from the archives. Researchers are working on tracking these down, but some things, sadly, may have been lost forever to the forces of Inadequate Backup. This is not the time to dwell on the past, however. From here on out, it’s full steam ahead.

Those of you who may have visited here in the past will notice that the site has morphed somewhat from its previous incarnation as my design and illustration portfolio. I’ll still be adding that kind of thing here, to be sure, but as part of a wider focus on what I’m up to in my life, what I’m creating, what I’m talking about, what I’m watching, what I’m reading, and what I want to share with all of you. I hope you enjoy!

My television is set to turn on in the morning and wake me up with CNN Headline News, and this morning the news wasn’t so great. Seeping slowly into my still sleep-addled brain came the news that Steve Irwin, a.k.a. The Crocodile Hunter, has died in a freak accident, after being pierced in the heart by a stingray. Steve was a favorite of my college friends and I, to the point of my friend Ethan and I doing a Croc Hunter parody for one of his video projects.

He was a delightfully crazy, yet extraordinarily caring, one-of-a-kind man. A champion for nature and endangered species. Crikey, Steve, you will be missed.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
