Beware!  You clicked on the "Author" link!  You have given me license to talk about all matter of things that I like.  You're probably better off returning home.

Still here?  You've been warned.

Previous work

He designed and implemented the Russell Union web site at Georgia Southern University, and maintained it for about a year before the cruel axe fell.

For a while, he maintained the Loadstar site, at http://www.loadstar.com/.  It has changed appearance since, though.  And now Loadstar may even be no more.  Farewell noble Knees, legend to those who care about such things.

One of his earliest web projects (and it shows) was a Nethack "day-in-the-life" site, still up somewhere at http://www.geocities.com/.  I'll find the address somewhere.  If you search, you'll also find two or three other web sites named "Hidden Glade" which I, to some extent, am responsible for.  They have not been updated for years.  I ask that you please ignore them.  To quote Milen: "Bleah."

He has a personal site at http://www2.gasou.edu/stu/gsi13529/.  It shows some early sketches of Milen and a few weird little things I have written.  I do not suggest you spend any particular amount of time there.  However, I won't stop you if you go.

He's written a few bizarre things for the ultracool site everything2.  Here is a list of his favorite personal writeups:
Behold the Wonders of Japan
Fantasy Cynicism
What Would Cthulhu Do?
Browser Voyeurism
Perfect Game of Robotron Achieved by God
Dungeons & Dragons
Counter-Earth
At Least Things Can't Get Any Worse
Your Weapons Are Useless
Purr
Grouch Logic

Favorite authors & artists

I greatly enjoy all the work of James Thurber, and it is quite inspiring to see someone who had even less artistic talent than myself (only as far drawing is concerned) become this world-renowned figure.  Of course, this was more for his imagination and brilliant writing.  He did manage to have books published consisting primarily of his sketches.  It may be odd to consider the man who wrote "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" as something of a literary idol, but there you go.

I also appreciate and greatly admire the work of Charles Schultz (Peanuts), more so now than previously and more and more every day, Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes), Berekley Breathed (Bloom County and Outland) and Gary Larson (The Far Side).

Also currently on my rotating list of favorites is: Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Josepf Conrad, H. P. Lovecraft, J.R.R. Tolkien, Douglas Adams, P.J. O'Rourke (earlier stuff more than later), Terry Pratchett and Dave Barry.
