The Irvania Blog

Okay, long-time readers of Irvania.com know that I usually stay away from politics in my online dialogues, but this time I just can’t keep quiet any longer. The state primary has come and gone, and not one of you voted for me. I am so disappointed.

Yeah, I know, I’m not actually running for any offices and I don’t represent any of the political parties and I don’t have an actual platform, but c’mon. Out of all the billions of voters in this state, not one of you could throw a vote my way? Is it really that hard to have a little consideration for my feelings once in a while? Sure, I have no qualifications and no experience as a political leader, but what difference should that make? I’m pretty sure I’m just as capable of running this country into the ground as any of the other yahoos running for office.

Okay, so my campaign slogan, “We’re all screwed,” hasn’t been very successful in garnering a lot of support from across the political spectrum. After working with some focus groups and spending some time with my marketing people, I’ve come up with a new campaign slogan that I think speaks to the heart of the average American: “We’re all really, totally screwed.”

The national elections are coming up in November, so keep me in mind when it comes time to sneak your way into the voting booth. Remember, a vote for Dave is one less vote for the other candidates!

Okay, so I’m a couple of months behind on my blog entries.

I’ve managed to update the entire web site with the new menu layout, mostly to reorganize the Writing Stuff sections, just in time to realize that the Game Stuff sections need to be reorganized too. Oh well. I’ll get that next time, when I add sections for the new game designs I’m working on now.

I started new sections for my writing stuff organized sort-of-chronologically, with pages for my college class essays and student newspaper articles and so on, and moved a lot of the articles that had been here in the Blog section into their new, slightly more logical, homes. (That’s why the “Best of Dave” category here on the Blog went way down in size, and a bunch of articles posted here in the last few months disappeared.)

Up until now, my blog entries tended to be way different than most peoples’ usual blog format of “things I thought today” or “something amusing happened while I was shopping yesterday” or that sort of thing. This confused a few readers so I’m going to try to go back to the standard “my thought for today” format for blog entries.

Yep, just as soon as I have a thought.

Any minute now.

Yup.
