One of the recurring themes of my digital life has been bringing old projects back to life. One of the manifestations of this was “Gilbert the Goldfish,” which began as a short story and ended up as a web-based story with my scanned illustrations. You can see it here.

Words, Words, Words…
What books do you want to read? …said Hamlet. When I was a kid I was a voracious reader. I’d get those fifty cent sci-fi paperbacks and devour them like a hungry space monster.

I was visiting friends, and they thought it might be fun to go there. No one in our party sang because we would have been embarrassed to doContinue reading “Karaoke? Kara-okay!”

So I thought I’d include the photo, and a link to the video. And here’s theContinue reading “Saw It? Dig It!”
