Bugs, errors, glitches… Expect all of this and more as we roll out a new site design in bits and pieces as it is evolving, instead of completing it all at once like a sane person would.
What the hell is going on with these so-called features?
This section is more or less a holdover from our static HTML days circa 1996 to 2006 when we started integrating Wordpress. As the transition went on a lot of the old hand coded features were shelved because transferring all that is a pain in the ass. Our audience was mostly regional to the Pacific Northwest, except for Neils legendary Ebay Watch, which had a more global following, and were a priority. A lot of effort had gone into standardizing the layout of those, and the were easier to port over. During the heyday of GVK we wanted a way to silo those in one place so they could better find a following, and they ended up here too. Features was supposed to hold the home in-depth posts or things that might be referenced in the future. The daily section of the site became the main focus but these old-timey features remain for posterity. If you see the words “Recent Posts” in this section, rest assured, take it with a grain of salt.
