Fragments of a Lost Blog

Out of a total of 53 posts spanning 7 years, only the last 16 survive intact (in bold). Prior to that, the blog format was different, and only the first paragraph or two of each post remained (these are marked *). And prior to that, there's nothing but the titles. Not that it matters all that much; most of the content was ephemeral, little more than random observations. But amongst the detritus, there were a few semi-worthwhile nuggets to be found, and here I present a handful of the surviving posts having at least somewhat interesting content. So, for the modeler with absolutely nothing better to do, here's a peek inside my brain from 2010 to 2013, starting with my reaction to unfortunate events surrounding my involvement with T Gauge.
