We got a lovely review at Tangent Online for the Winter 2007 issue of Shimmer The Winter 2007 issue of Shimmer, edited by by Beth Wodzinski, is full of magic, love, poetic prose, and again, magic.

A hearty thank you to Karen Meisner for pointing out this lush bit of mixed media, directed by Guilherme Marcondes, which includes some very pretty puppetry.

Wow. Talk about the perfect blending of my worlds. Rogue Artists Ensemble has created an adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean’s graphic novel ‘THE TRAGICAL COMEDY OR COMICAL TRAGEDY OF MR. PUNCH.’ The production photos look stunning. Alas, it is in L.A., so I can’t go, but I seriously want to. Based the graphic

Oh. I am inspired and jealous of Aparna Rao’s skills. She’s taken an Olivetti typewriter and wired it so that it sends emails. You type, it appears on a piece of paper and when you pull the paper out, it sends. In collaboration with Mathias Dalhström, 22 Pop was inspired by my mother’s own fruitless

It was a pretty day outside, but this was my view for most of the afternoon. We were recording a new project for Subterranean, actually I should say re-recording. We have discovered that switching between a British accent and a faux Spanish accent is not my forte. I’m glad the Spanish accent is supposed to

Every time I handle one of our vintage typewriters, I wish my laptop were so beautiful. So, I’m going to take steps to have the pretty, pretty laptop I want. This is the sort of project that I don’t have time to do, and basically amounts to escapism. Since my laptop is my only computer,
Holy Batcave! I want a set of Secret Bookcase Doors. How cool is that? Book storage and secret passage! Oh, I covet mightily. Hey–! That could solve the storage problems in our kitchen, which has five doors and no cabinetry. I wonder how much weight they can hold and how smoothly they move. Hm…

A fellow writer turns out to be a handy woodworker. Check out this violin chair that Gray Rhinehart made. The “Take a Seat” exhibition opened on Saturday, April 28th at Cary’s “Spring Daze” event. The chairs will be exhibited in the local mall (Cary Towne Center) through May 16th, then over the rest of the
I am so angry I am shaking. Carlile You are more than welcome to file a claim, however, it will be denied. Your nine months and one day expired on December 28, 2006. In the eyes of freight carriers and court cases that is ample time for a claimant to gather all the evidence they

I confess, this mess with Audrey II is making my head spin enough that I don’t have the energy to give you a blow by blow of the motorcycle trip. But I did promise a picture, so ta-da! The short version is that I enjoyed the trip. We have nice friends. The passenger seat of
