Hello, all! Bruce here with a quick how-de-do to all the Bench Dogs friends and fans. Pete and I are doing well and have not dropped out in any way.
We're still fixing, making, inventing and designing... only we're not taping it. While it is a meaningful endeavor for us, real life intrudes just a little too often, placing stresses on our time and finances. Bench Dogs videos are a labor of love for us, an unpaid labor of love, so when the opportunity for cash comes itching around, we're likely to scratch it.
Pete is still involved with video creation-- you can find his stuff at
He still shoots some construction stuff, but the bulk of his creativity is spent on his delightful 5-year-old daughter Storm and their time together, absolutely the most fun Pete can have.
I too continue to run my business, Doorhanger, out of Los Angeles. Can you guess what it is that I do? Please don't say I employ dozens of illegal aliens to place paper adverts on thousands of doorknobs. That's my bane, and the reason why my website has two 'dotcoms' in it-- cuz I was pissed off that they got my preferred name first. I'm at
I'm honing my writing skills at the same time, by crafting a blog I am particularly proud of. It may very well be my legacy... and will be what I leave the world as a gift. It's called Finding The Perfect World, and it's at
It is an ongoing and wide-reaching rant about the troubles we currently endure as a society, and my ideas for how to fix 'em. Each post is either a topic of current contention, such as drugs, homosexuality or flying cars; or one chapter of a book (one of 3) that I am writing concurrently; or a commentary on a piece of current events which caught my eye. I throw a lot of pictures in to liven up the read, but there's nothing videoesque... at least not yet. It's definitely a blog for the literate. Well, a blog for people who know how to read, anyway.
So that's the long way of saying we're not gonna be posting any Bench Dogs videos for awhile. That's not to say if something catches our eye we won't be laying down a minute or ten of moving pictures for you to watch, possibly, from time to time. It's kind of in our blood.
But no promises.
