First the monkeys:
Yes, it’s been a while since much of anything happened here, but more importantly it’s been a long whiles since we’ve had any updates on the Monkey Revolution.
To help remedy this sad state of affairs, I have set up a new Twitter account: @simianista. On this, I shall endeavor to post short updates whenever a notice suspicious activity from our tree-born cousins.
Then the robots come in:
In theory, I have it set up so that a daily digest of @simianista activity will appear right here in this blog. Which will, again in theory, update my own @jakesutton Twitter account, which might even update my Facebook wall.
It’s all terribly complex, you wouldn’t understand. Just trust in the fact that I am here to help you stay aware in the latest developments in the rising primate insurgency.
Stay alert and hide your bananas.

Hey, lookit!
Upgraded the site to the latest install of the old bloggin’ software and switched the theme around to something fairly nice that somebody else spent time on (see links in the footer).
I might get around to fiddling with the theme at some point, but don’t hold your breath or anything.
If you’re lucky, I might actually post once in a while. We’ve had a big stressor removed lately, but I still have lots of other things I either should be doing or would rather be doing. Follow my Twitter or hook up to my Facebook if you’re that interested in things. In fact, I may have rigged it so that new posts here end up in both of those places (yet to be proven, mind you).
And yeah… You look great today. So nice to see you!

We’ve had some stuff going on here at Camp Sutton. We’re all alive and well, which is the key, I figure.
We’ve also got new tattoos and new hobbies and things of that nature.
What we don’t have is complaints, so that’s good.
Hope the three of you who check this thing are all well and happy. We are.
Love & hugs.

It’s official: I have a new butterfly that I’m chasing.
Perhaps because I work in the technology realm where everything needs to be new and shiny, I have an affinity for old things and old ways of doing things. I like wood and stone for building materials. I like cooking with cast iron. I enjoy working with my chef’s knife for hours much more than buzzing food to a pulp in a food processor. I love Zippo lighters even though I’m no longer a smoker. I melt at the sight of a beautiful fountain pen even though I write maybe 100 words by hand a week. Even my motorcycle, which features a modern engine and brakes, etc. still looks basically like the old Bonnevilles that Steve McQueen loved to ride.
Combine this with my mildly obsessive nature and I tend to start odd collections. It starts off with something I actually use but then moves rapidly into the categories of “special” and “precious”.
Fountain pens are a great example. I started with a plastic Lamy that you can still get for next to nothing and isn’t really much to write home about. Then I started getting pens from Levenger that were a bit more fancy, but that I still used occasionally. Then I got a couple gorgeous and expensive pens that came in massive wooden boxes and have barely even seen the light of day, much less a bottle of ink. Those are the “collectibles”. Those are the ones that make me feel like an idiot who may as well be lighting money on fire.
I’m going to try really hard to avoid that end with this new thing with which I’ve fallen in love. Continued…
