Have you seen what I’ve been doing lately?

Firefly
If you or someone you love has never seen Firefly, there is hope.
Do not make a big deal of this, because nothing makes me want to throw someone to the sharks quicker than someone who is too enthusiastic about something. It takes all the fun out of it. However, they must see it. They must. Absolutely. Nothing I can say about it will do it justice, or make it better, or even make it comprehendible.
Sure, this is probably just a publicity stunt before the Serenity movie, but some things deserve it.

Recursion
So, I hear that 95% of all blogs are just links.
Preposterous!
Back when the World Wide Web was loosed upon the computing colonies, I could only think, “These are just .plan files with some cool linking potential, a “what I am doing this month” concept.
Let me tell you, that feeling hasn’t changed in ten years. Livejournal, Blogger and Typepad have just made it more obvious.
My own first web site was titled “Hubris” for this reason. Everything there was about me. It’s telling that the page went unfinished for a long time.
I had a point, but you’ll have to wait for it.

Art is for the Artist
Some time I should get to showing people that I cannot, actually, draw. (I can paint.) One of the things I learned about Art School is that they expect you to actually be good at art before you show up. The word they used for me was “promising”. (The words they didn’t use with me were “willing to take your money”.)
If I were crazy enough to publish some sort of game — and why would I ever do that — I have a short list of people I couldn’t well afford to do the art. Sometimes I call this my “Web Comic Orgasm” list, not because they spend their lives doing web comics, but because that’s how I find them. And how much I like their works.
Perhaps you didn’t need to know that.
One such crazy pansy is Vera Brogsol (which looks like it rhymes with plimsoll, but I wouldn’t know).
