I think it’s done. I think I’ve tinkered with every last little bit of .CSS that needed tinkering. The Doctor Who roundel background has been replaced. We’ve gone from a classic series-style roundel to a new series-style roundel. Post tagging is a lot more complete, though there’s still about a year and a half’s worthContinue reading “On Housekeeping Notes”

On Wiccan Respect
I began writing this post on Monday, and I felt I didn’t have anything interesting to say, that I was just parroting a press release. I saved the draft, and decided I’d think about it, to see if I could come up with a new angle. I’m not sure I really have one. A lawsuitContinue reading “On Wiccan Respect”
On the Illuminati
The recent discovery that one of the top fifty search terms to reach this website in the past two weeks is “illuminati spelled backward,” combined with the death earlier this year of Robert Anton Wilson, co-author of The Illuminatus! Trilogy, reminded me today of a strange anecdote in my life. Several years ago, I postedContinue reading “On the Illuminati”
On New Things!
So I’m sitting at the desk, working on some writing, and a Yahoo! Messenger window opens. Curious, I begin a conversation. Could this be a fan? Could this be some random bloke? Conversation, conversation, conversation. Then! Nigerian spam! Sigh. Most exciting thing all day, and it’s Nigerian spam. :/ Bleh.
On Search Phrases
I’d occasionally do this about once a month–pull a search log report off the server and see why people are dropping by. Honestly, it was a good way just to make a post; I didn’t have to think to have content, because you good readers gave me the content and a platform to rant, orContinue reading “On Search Phrases”
On Kylie Minogue and Who stuff
Kylie Minogue will be guest-starring in the 2007 Doctor Who Christmas special. Reports say that she will be portraying a Cyberman. Minogue has been a known Doctor Who fan for a long time. There’s a photograph of her asleep with a Doctor Who novel–Lloyd Rose’s Camera Obscura, if I remember correctly. If she wants toContinue reading “On Kylie Minogue and Who stuff”
On Skipping Stones
About three miles from the house is the Liberty Reservoir. It’s an artificial lake that provides water to Baltimore. It being a pretty day–clear blue sky, temperature around eighty-five–I packed a bag with notebook and pens, grabbed a towel, and drove out to the reservoir. I wanted to get some writing done while communing withContinue reading “On Skipping Stones”
On Accents
I’m pretty sure I’ve done a quiz like this before, but I’m not finding it off-hand in my archives. And because I don’t feel like going through my archives looking for a meme done long ago, we’ll just do it again! (ETA: Here it is. April 2005.) So! What sort of accent do I have?Continue reading “On Accents”
More on Alberto Gonzales
I love the NPR news quizshow Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me. They offered the best explanation yet for Alberto Gonzales’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week. (And I’m paraphrasing from memory here.) “Alberto Gonzales blacks out. His body is taken over by an evil spirit who fires US Attorneys, lies before Congress andContinue reading “More on Alberto Gonzales”
On Boyish Wonder
I needed to put up my car windows. I’d run out to the post office this afternoon–only to fill out a customs declaration I didn’t need–and since it was a gorgeous day I drove with the windows down. (Which is why it’s not uncommon for me to have a horribly sunburned left arm; it’s justContinue reading “On Boyish Wonder”
