About

Sparks from the Smithy is the official blog of the Eric and Shannon Smith family. We’re glad that you stopped by… unless you’re a stalker or some kind of wacko (wacko exemption allowed for family members).

Please leave comments on postings to let the authors know you appreciate their efforts at communicating and occasionally being entertaining.

As you may have noticed by looking at the archive dates, these postings go way back. The oldest ones were transcribed from various dead tree publications. From the inagural issue comes this quote:

I hope that Sparks from the Smithy will eventually become the world’s forum for all intellectual writing, and after that, I hope to print The Far Side.

We’re still working on that first one…
