Is this thing on?

Thinking about inspiration lately-- and what moves and motivates me.  
visuals and ideas.
nostalgia in all forms.
making connections.
I want to corral all of this STUFF into one space-- this blog.  The name is inspired (see, starting already) by my favorite David Foster Wallace essay, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again.  If you've read it, hopefully the name brings a chuckle.  
If you haven't read it, please do so immediately.  It's the closest I ever want to come to a cruise ship experience.  And I do so mourn that we won't ever be privy to DFW's brilliant and heartbreaking thoughts again.
Plus this: a wonderful commencement address from DFW in 2005:
