This site is creeping into the twenty-first century. I have begun the translating the code for all these pages to XHTML and have completely separated style from content with a <table> free, CSS layout!

Personally, I have upgraded to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer version 6.0 on my home PC. Supposedly this browser supports HTML 4.01 and CSS 1.0 completely. The site should still display close to correct in WinIE5. The only major problem with the CSS columnar layout is that if the left side of the content area is longer than the body area the yellow backdrop doesn’t extend to the footer. A small price to pay for the more logical and faster loading layout.

I’ve added some scans of some wood engravings I made to my art gallery. These babys are for sale! Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!

Mark your calendars! Wika and I will have art on display at the Dr. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine during the month of October. The opening reception is on Friday, October 5th from 3pm-6pm. Drinks and other goodies will be served. Be there or be square.

After much trial and error I have retooled how Flash animations are inserted into my web pages. There were problems with animations not appearing on Macs or in Opera 5. If you have Flash 4 and still cannot view the movies drop me a line and please let me know what browser and platform you are using.

A bouncing brain!

My Dad says the darnest things. Take a look at all the goofy stuff he has said over the years.

Holy macaroni! I’ve added a new music review!

One of the dangers of having a web site is that your email is accessible to complete strangers. A recent visitor to my Life Drawing Page unwillingly sent me the SirCam Virus which I stupidly ran and which I also stupidly tried to get rid of without reading about it. Fortunately, with the help of Craig, I was able to clean up my computer and keep the fun rollin’.

And speaking of fun. I have added a new full-color image to my art gallery! This one is my illustration which will appear on the cover of Lumpen Magazine here in Chicago. The magazine can usually be picked up for free at local independent retailers, or, as has happened to me, bought from a crafty derelict for a handful of change.

A little something gets lost in the translation when our friends across the Pacific try to write in English.
