Slice of home
I found a picture from last years Folkfest and made it my avatar on MSMBA.net. Since I’ll be away at BU many evenings, I thought it would be nice to look at my kids everytime I post 
Comments(61)About MartyrOz and The Musing Mill
After stumbling across other peoples blogs and reading posts without knowing anything about them, here’s a bit about the author.
MartyrOz is AKA Marty Rozmanith. I/He is happily married and a father of 2 sweet kids living in the Boston area. Marty is one of the creators of the Autodesk Revit building modeling software. The most notable project designed using Revit is the rebuilding of the new World Trade Center Freedom Tower in New York City.
I/He has been employed in software technology in the building industry since 1996. Before that he was a practicing architect and structural engineer in California.
Marty’s teams are the Red Sox, Patriots, Philly Eagles, Penn State Nittany Lions, and whoever plays the Yankees.
Marty publishes the Musing Mill because he can’t help it (see this).
Ghost in the machine
So I’m reimplementing the blog to be more robust.
As this thing takes shape, I don’t want to forget why I put it here, so here’s some of the reasoning behind the blog. Here’s one reason’
I have several creative friends who share a common problem with me. That is - we keep coming up with ideas that then evaporate since they don’t get captured anywhere and we’re all too busy to execute each one as we think of them.
So that is what the Musing Mill is’a place to put them until later. And maybe to show how they work out when we do something about them. So the way this will work is that a few people will get access to post and experiment, and the results will end up here.
The point is; creative people NEED to create. It’s a compulsion. Without a place to intercept these efforts, good things vanish into the ether. So this place is like a distillery so that the stuff can condense and we can sort thru it, picking and choosing the interesting stuff from the heap of the rest.
There’s more to the infrastructure than just this blog. This is just the public face of a bunch of technology junk. Hopefully it will be apparent as stuff gets posted - but even better if it’s transparent - nobody needs to see the ghost behind the machine.
The blog (re)incarnated?
The blog went live yesterday, 10 years to the day after Kurt Cobain?s death. For GenXers, the date is a little worn through. Yes, he was a good songwriter, and I love the book. Maybe I?ll post some images of it.
I first started looking at a weblog in 2001 for about 2 weeks, and immediately realized I wanted control over the server backend. I got way to busy after that to think about it. Now it is done - correctly too. This thing should live for a good long while.
