Thanks to Danko for linking to this wonderful comic strip: Lio. I'm going to have to second his recommendation. Lio is a comic strip without dialogue. No word bubbles or anything, just a few sound effects. Each comic is carried off by a simple series of pictures, and it works wonderfully. It didn't even occur…

The first ten people to comment here (noting that they're making a request) will get artistic doodling done by me. You can specify the subject, theme, guidelines, whatever you like, but I reserve the right to simplify your requirements. Of course, like Danko said, the requests are limited by my artistic ability. But I'll try…

John Scalzi notes: \”Today is the 25th anniversary of the identification of a mysterious syndrome attacking gay men, which would in time be called AIDS. President George Bush is marking the day by calling for an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would bar same-sex marriage, despite the fact that there are…

Grandmother is terribly old. She has white, white hair and her face is filled with wrinkles; yet her eyes sparkle like two stars and are even more beautiful, for when you look in them, they are so gentle and filled with love. She wears a long dress with flowers printed on it. It is made…

Stolent from Danko Just for fun, go to http://www.google.com and do a search for the phrase \”____ needs\” (in doublequotes as shown). In the place of the blank, enter your name. Record the top ten results of what you need and share with your friends on your journal. Who knew you had so many needs?…

I no longer trust mainstream Christianity. I've been on the edge for a long time, and this just pushes me over it. This is utterly disgusting. Utterly. Has anyone out there read The Purpose-Driven Life, by Rick Warren? Mr. Warren is the leader of a gigantic church in Califoria, as well as the head of…

I've been doing web design all day, and the nice thing about web design is that you have something to show for it when it's all over and done with. Something easily sharable, because it's web design. Unless, of course, you're having difficulties with cross-browser compatibility and with window size, and with enough problems like…

I went to Cape Lookout on the Oregon Coast this weekend with my family and Nora and my aunt and uncle. We expected bad weather, and we got bad weather. But Friday was good. The weather was not the disappointment. We were talking about going and seeing X3 on the rainy day, which seemed like…

This weekend my family is going to Cape Lookout to camp. We're leaving today in a few minutes, and we'll be back Monday evening. I hope it won't rain the ENTIRE time. I'll try to bring back some pictures. Speaking of pictures, everyone who cares to should get a Flickr account. It's a photo-sharing site…

The lovely Camille has done it again. She has once again proven her wonderfulness. Today, it comes in the form of taking pictures during frisbee so I can be proud of jumping all over the place and being crazy. I wish she had gotten a picture of one of the times when I laid out…
