		<title>2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s a new year. Lots of stuff happened last year, most of it rather unpleasant (at best). There were a couple of high points, but overall, it was a slow slide into what seems like a home stretch. I grow less and less patient with the insistence of Facebook and Twitter. Yes, I&#8217;m on [...]]]></description>

		<title>B-Fest 2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, B-Fest 2011 is now concluded, and for the second time I was able to attend. I went last year and had a terrific time, probably the best bit of 2010—which is rather sad as there were still at least eleven more months in that year to go. (The year improved a great deal in [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Painting Page</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello! I&#8217;m actually not dead, believe it or not. Well, I guess that&#8217;s self evident since I&#8217;m typing and I think brains taste terrible. Anyway, using DreamWeaver, I finally updated my &#8220;Oil on Canvas&#8221; page. It&#8217;s got (with a couple of old exceptions) everything I&#8217;ve done in oils over the past couple of decades. Right [...]]]></description>

		<title>NaNoWriMo 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I didn&#8217;t participate this year, just as I didn&#8217;t in the last two years as well. But last night while trying to fall asleep, I was thinking about it. And I had a rather&#8230;uncomfortable revelation. I can remember my first NaNo project. I can remember the storyline, the characters, how the style kinda sorta [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anime: Midori Days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, given the subject matter&#8211;guys wakes up one day, and his right hand now sports (instead of the expected five digits) a tiny girl who loves him&#8211;I thought that this was going to play to a number of Freudian themes. Hey, there&#8217;s a GIRL on your right hand&#8211;what are you going to DO on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another work in progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This one insists on calling itself &#8220;Voodoo Death God&#8221; but I&#8217;m even sure if there is such a thing, so I&#8217;m thinking that was a lie to sound impressive or something. Still, I do have to admit I like the way this is going.]]></description>

		<title>Video Software: A Rant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve tried several consumer-grade video editing software packages, and I&#8217;ve discovered something they have in common: they all suck. Just to define, I mean software allowing you to assemble video clips into something you might want to upload to YouTube. And by consumer-grade, I mean something you might pick up in the local Best Buy [...]]]></description>

		<title>A work in progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been re-reading a lot of H.P. Lovecraft lately, and one of his descriptions of the &#8220;Plains of Leng&#8221; (which are, of course, forbidden) struck me. So I thought I&#8217;d try my hand at an image. Before you ask, no, this wasn&#8217;t done in a couple of hours. I don&#8217;t remember when I started it, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Anime round-up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A year or so ago, I stopped watching anime pretty much completely. Does anyone still watch anime anymore? Given the disappearance of Geneon and ADV, and the rapidly shrinking section at the local Best Buy, I have to wonder. For me, I simply couldn&#8217;t escape the feeling that I&#8217;d seen all the &#8220;good stuff,&#8221; or [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Obligatory &#8220;I&#8217;m not quite dead&#8221; Post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s always pleasant to get a comment now and then on this blog. I felt that as I&#8217;d seemed pretty certain when I &#8220;shut it down&#8221; in Autumn of 2008 that most of the folks who read here would have seen the &#8220;Closed&#8221; sign and moved on. So when I &#8220;restarted&#8221; it not too long [...]]]></description>
