I went and cleaned up the category system. Categorical hierarchies are, generally, brittle. I tend to range so far and abroad that I always found myself having to add new categories or simply file everything under “general”. Well, no more of that. Applying the KISS principle, we now have the following [...]
Someone’s gone and done an anatomical study of the bone structures of famous cartoon characters. “Observe”:http://michaelpaulus.com/gallery/character-Skeletons.
Be sure to read some of the comments. I’m not sure what’s funnier: the concept itself, or the fact that some of the visitors to the site take it so seriously.
I did some site maintenance today. The main site, “eykd.net”:http://eykd.net is now managed and rendered by “Wordpress”:http://wordpress.org. The main site, “newstalk”:http://newstalk.eykd.net and “subverbia”:http://subverbia.eykd.net now all share the same stylesheet, which makes it much easier to make small changes to the overall look of the site, and allows me to finally unify the site’s [...]
Over at Enchanted Visions there’s a really good interview with Aleph, the creator of my favorite webcomic, Malakhim. Well, okay, it’s the only webcomic that I read regularly, which automatically classifies it as my favorite. Technicalities aside, if you’ve never read Malakhim, you should start with the beginning of the current story arc. [...]
Nigerian Farm Originally uploaded by Carol J Carpenter.
This is another test. It is a photo of a Nigerian Farm, by Carol J. Carpenter. Found on http://flickr.com
Today is September the 11th, and “this day is going to keep coming around, year after year,”:http://subverbia.eykd.net/archives/2001/10/911/ until either we decide to make a new calendar, or calendars become unnecessary, for whatever reason. I don’t have a whole lot to say about it right now, other than that this is something we should not [...]
I’ve been meaning to do this for a very long time. A great honking number of my writings (mostly poetry, for now, so the adjective “honking” is most appropriate) are up at Subverbia, my new “portfolio” site. Previously, all those poems have resided in one overgrown text file which I’ve kept since my [...]
Welcome to my new site. I’ve changed some things around, given newstalk a new home (”newstalk.eykd.net”:http://newstalk.eykd.net), and switched to a new blogging platform, “WordPress”:http://wordpress.org. Lots of new nifties, like the new link list on the side there, and PurpleNumber links (for fine-grained addressing) at the end of each paragraph. Let me know [...]
Anyone who has ever used Photoshop should know this already. But for those of you unschooled in the Ways of Power, know this: Never put your photo on the internet.
As a corollary, from here on out: never trust a photograph unless you took it yourself.
I’m tired and yawning right now. So, while I wait for blue bars to crawl their way across various screens here in my office (as green LEDs flicker hypnotically), I’m brewing some tea and taking a breather. What kind of tea? Why Celestial Seasonings Original India Spice Teahouse Chai (formerly Mountain Chai), [...]
