Interesting book. It’s actually the third in a series but that wasn’t a problem. I got the impression that the first two focused more on other characters. The plot is pretty conventional but what struck me is the idea of witches and sorcerers and separate races from humans. The concept isn’t very developed. Most [...]

I was never fully happy with the last redesign so we’ll see how this works.
Saturday, Tanya and I went shopping. I was only planning on getting new sheets but somehow I wound up with a couple of books (imagine that!) and some new clothes. I think I actually surprised mom with the colors [...]

Why be a lemming?
They’re cool because they contribute. When they have problems, they fix them and then tell the rest of us how to do the same. In the Wordpress community, I’ve found the energy and interest that I haven’t felt for Movable Type [...]
