Project Webski

The process I have dubbed "Project Webski" has begun. Its roots, at least as far as its name is concerned, goes back to my early cabinet building days, working for Robby Knight. I adopted a persona in those days, as a Russian immigrant, complete with a thick Russian accent, which I must say was fairly convincing and a lot of fun for both me and those who worked with me at the time. My persona, Danski, not only had a thick accent, but also twisted various word usages in ways common to those learning a second language, with comically misused metaphors and twisted mixtures of the two separate cultural traditions.

David Wilson and James Lowrance joked and carried on about poor Danski, the Russian immigrant, for hours and days of cabinet building, finishing, and installing. Danski's somewhat frequent retort was the copied line (from where, I can't even remember), to "Bite my tractor!"

Now Danski's conversion to American capitalism has been completed, as he marks off his territory and proceeds to determine if he has so much as a clueski as to how it works.

Danski's first steps have been taken, with the purchase of an initial handful of URLs with which to begin his business of building a Web empire. In thirty days we may be able to determine if his homework was solidly absorbed and he actually has a clueski. In 90 days we may be able to tell if it is going to build or flop completely. By six months we should be able to say, one way or the other, if Project Webski is a plan looking for a place to grow, or a place to die.
