New things

People had been asking me, so I wrote a very basic guide to digital photo editing with free software.

The evidence speaks for itself!

a.r.k 2003 in Review continues, with an example of the Dalek sonnet form and an analogy that really makes you think, doesn't it? Doesn't it??

Also, a recent post that I think was inspired by the words "aqua regia" and "crucible".

Two small pieces of dark and droll science fiction from 2003: The Moral Linac; Atomic Bowling

Hey, I got a LiveJournal. This officially makes me a teenager again. Samantha talked me into it, but I have not said anything intelligent there yet.

June 25, 2003

I hereby offer a blanket denunciation of all the things that I am morally required to denounce in order not to be a hypocrite.

Bad, bad things!

Also, my sister-in-law, Lindsey, now has a LiveJournal of her own where she writes extremely funny things.

Funny, funny things!

From alt.religion.kibology, a fable about roads not taken, and a description of a chilling dream I had. And lest you think I have switched entirely to posting heavy stuff, an obnoxious song about aliens.

The last cat of Krypton hears a cry for help! This is my father-in-law's cat, Phoenix. He's not as much of a jumper as Radka, but the right perspective can accomplish a lot. My first attempt to get the action photo failed, but resulted in a claw mark on my nose that has not faded yet.

RARRRR!

Last week, it was spring in Maryland: Willows, Geese, Daffodil

But it was still winter in the Poconos: Stream, Deer

Someday, Web hits will be too cheap to meter.
