Here is a comic book I made for work. It is, to my knowledge, the only comic that includes an owl in a life jacket talking on a cell phone.

This is the insufficient cynic patrol.
Blogs can be beakers of bubbling vitriol,
Acidic assaults on the asinine masses.
But you rock red rose coloured glasses.
You don’t have the heart to rant.
When you type something harsh, you quickly recant.
And delete.
And be sweet.
Today, please attempt to be mean,
An obstinate ogress and obliquely obscene.

Here goes. I ( Read more... )

Upon “Upon a House Shaken by the Land Agitation”
Cowritten with WBY (every 2nd line is his), with apologies to the Catholics

Gotta love that Yeats, whose question came close,
   “HOW should the world be luckier if this house…”
To asking why I know that fun,
   Where passion and precision have been one, 
Makes my family worth the fuss.

I know I'm constantly boring you with the products of my work time research into all things digital, but this will be the last such entry for a while, I promise. Tomorrow, I'll write you a poem.

Turtle Art! 
I first heard about turtle graphics in connection with One Laptop Per Child, an organization that gives the poorest children in the world ( Read more... )

The aforementioned "pretty neat entry in the works" didn't pan out.

 I have a pretty neat entry in the works.

While you wait, give a ponder to this uncanny photograph. Is it a completely candid shot of a junior-high me being picked up from summer camp, or is it the scene at the Crucifixion of Jesus, with Mary his mother and Mary Magdalene at his feet and a Roman soldier standing guard? Coincidence? Acheiropoieta?

University 2.0
This entry expands and elucidates on the preceding entry, which you should read first.

University undergraduate programs are expensive and, therefore, exclusive. Their mandatory courses of prescribed readings, tightly structured assignments, and firm due dates do nothing to nurture independent lifelong learners. They will be supplanted ( Read more... )

“Why hello there! You’re just the person I’ve been looking for.”

“I am?”

“Of course! You’re Application Fee and High School Average of 65% or Above.”

“It’s like you see inside my soul.”

“That’s because I do. I’m University with Maple Trees on the Campus.”

“What luck! I was just considering enrolling in you. Bachelor of Arts.”

My Soul is Flawed
or, Silly Sally dilly dallied daily on her walk from school

A little girl went to the wood,
To see the good, and God, who could,
Flow inside her blood.
Grow inside her, bud,
Green leaves uncurling from her toes,
And fingertips. While rose
Blossoms burst upon her cheek.
And she could hear the lichen speak,
When she became a tree.

I eat rush and flash and pop,
Until the doctor tells me stop,
Cut yourself some slack,
When the words don't come,
The doodles doodly-do,
Bric-a-brac hum drum kung fu.
