Can omniscient God, who Knows the future, find The omnipotence to Change His future mind? – Karen Owens

I worked a lot today adding functionality to the image display script. It now has the option of being paginated, and I think the design is incredibly elegant (visually and functionally). The code will need to be revamped at some point, but it's still pretty good. And the pictures on there are now my own.…

I made a gallery script for displaying all of the images in a folder. It is cross-browser, valid html, and well-documented. It has good separation of content, presentation, and behavior. It gracefully degrades in sub-standard browsers (like IE6), and with JavaScript disabled. In general, it is an exemplar of good web design, to the extent…

I had a really wonderful time visiting Sarah in Utah this past weekend. Five days without any schoolwork, just spending time with one of my favorite people ever. I love you, Sarah. You are lovely. Here are some pictures: [ See all pictures ]

Anyway, I\’ve been experimenting with a more poster-like style recently. Not as fuzzy and abstract as what I usually draw. I like the…

There has been a flurry of activity in the \”blogosphere\” around the passing away of John M. Ford. Making Light just posted an entry with a large number of his various comments and writings (there seems not to be much distinction between the two terms, in his case). I found a number of them wildly…

For those of you who missed Aaron\’s recent adventures, here is a picture I took of him breathing fire. That\’s one talented madman!
