Writing about art is famously like dancing about architecture, but I’m gonna attempt it anyway. The first part, not the second. Though you should see my Frank Lloyd Wright jitterbug retrospective. Waaay back, I got an Art Minor with my Lit degree, but I never felt invigorated by the possibilities of my own work. Despite…

A veritable infestation of creatures!
On the left, a septic parasite; on the right, more Siberian bloodworms, as the label clearly states. These will also be for sale at CONduit on Memorial Day weekend. (I’m planning to have an oodle of bloodworms; everything else will be one of a kind.)
More creatures!
Using Photoshop to help correct the flaws of my poor photography… By the way, all the creatures I’ve posted, and ones yet to come, will be for sale at CONduit at the end of May.
Creeeeee-tures!
Justifying the “I make things” part of my subtitle, here are a couple of things in jars that I made recently: Yes, I know, I am a terrible photographer. They look much cooler in person.
E-karma.
Hostivia, the crappy webhost which let all of my data crash and burn without a backup, apologized by offering three months of free hosting.

Book cover design — the home surgery edition!
i just posted a little guide to designing your own book cover over at Lousy Book Covers. It’s really good, he said modestly.
Aw, they’re leaving the nest…
Cold Fusion Video Reviews also hosted several movie review subdomains which I referred as the “Cold Fusioneers,” independent movie critics who didn’t mind associating themselves with the Cold Fusion Media Empire. When my web empire died through a server crash, they all died with it. The first one to arise from the ashes is MonsterHunter,…
But in other (eldritch) news…
I’m taking a vacation day today to sit in front of my computer and start to put things back together, starting with Lousy Book Covers, since a) I’ve got most of the posted content mirrored to the tumblog for easier restoration, and b) it was the only site that made me any real money. In…
And so it ends.
I finally got the following message this morning from tech support, in response to my websites being down for almost two weeks: Unfortunately as you may already be aware, the server hosting your website suffered a catastrophic failure of it’s storage array. We believe this to be a failure of the RAID card in the…
