Kentucky Zombie Terrorist Kid Finally In Custody: Now We Can All Rest Easy
My friend Adam has a way of digging up stories that make me want to give up on America. I mean, okay, it’s possible that this kind of story isn’t crazy, right? Look, a title like Student Arrested For Terroristic Threatening Says Incident A Misunderstanding, I could take that seriously enough. Or, I used to […]
Lime’s Published!
Last night, when I met Lime for dinner, she presented me with a book. Now, it’s a book in Korean, and you may not be able to guess why I was so proud of her when she gave it to me.

Creation Science Is No Kind of Science
via Holbrook at Tedious and Brief?, here’s a link to an article on the nonsensical arguments creationists use against evolution. As Holbrook quips, Gravity is a theory, dumbass. It’s worth reading if for nothing else than arming yourself against the irrationalists.
Technological Erasure of The Idea Of The Fugitive
Quixotic Kitten’s page has a report about some sick pedophile bastard in Britain who had a blog. What he did was a horror and I think straight out castration is a good thing to consider. Maybe chopping off his hands, too. Or exile to an ice floe. Or put him in prison and announce what […]
Ten Things I’ve Done That You Probably Haven’t
Yes, it’s one of those blogging trends, but I like this exercise. It takes some thinking.
1. Read more than 150 pages of Ezra Pound’s The Cantos, and really, really enjoyed it.
2. Sent the majority of my phone-text messages during the last year in my third language.
3. Gotten lost in a slum in Agra […]

The Clarion West Write-a-Thon is On!
The Clarion West Writer's Workshop has been responsible for starting many people on the road to publication and careers in writing. It has been an unstinting supporter of creativity and of the next generation of writers for decades.
But it doesn't run itself. It takes time, energy, and even with volunteers, it takes money. The write-a-thon is one way to raise the funds that keep the workshop going.
