Places to go, people
to meet: |
Some
friends of mine...
|
The Foxloft
Foxfeather Zenkova and
her husband Roman Zenka (Mbala) run a hobby farm and animal rescue in
Southern Minnesota. Their ambition is to found a conservancy and animal
hospital. Fox, a master of many crafts, sells numerous types of
animal-based art, the proceeds of many of which these days go toward
protecting endangered vultures.
|
Horse,
Horse, Another Horse, and the Zebra
Mbala has distanced himself from his trasditional seven-panel pages,
but allow me to present his new, highly acclaimed* webcomic: Horse,
Horse, Another Horse, and the Zebra! Loosely inspired by Charlie
Mackey's The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, and partly
co-authored by yours truly, it can be found on Webtoons.com.
* I may be the only reader, but
I've never heard anyone speak poorly of it. |
Charlie
Vermin: Eccentric Game Imaginator
A friend of mine working on more advanced stuff nowadays, but here are
one
beautiful beastie's early contributions to the strange world of RPG
Maker games that aren't really RPGs.
|
Charlie Vermin
Presents...
And here's a blog of cool stuff Charlie likes! You can reach his other
blogs, including his highly creative Doom mods, from here.

Thinking with Nate:
Becoming an Intelligence Researcher
An ambitious friend of mine in the process of becoming an expert on
intelligence... even though that isn't really a thing that exists! From
Google to grad school and beyond.
|
Laramie Sasseville: Dreamspell
A friend whose site includes
beautiful fantasy-themed art in various media as well as filk songs,
unique vanity bookmarks, and the Discordian Coloring Book. She's also
available for hire as a graphic designer.
|
Rich Brown: Some
So-Called Music
Rich Brown is a space exploration enthusiast and a filk music devotee.
This page features, among other things, the lyrics to his witty and
well-structured parody songs about science, science fiction, horror,
and social issues.
|
Wellness
Weaving
The multipurpose website of the multifaceted Sarah McMahill, a
musicmaking friend of mine. She offers myofascial masssage, wellness
workshops, enneagram readings, proofreading, vocal lessons, and more! |
A few interesting chunks of
Worldwide Web... |
Yucata.de: Friendly turn-based gaming!
I've been playing here since 2014
|
MN-StF
The Minnesota Science Fiction Society, an institution that I grew up
with! Puts on Minicon, a speculative fiction convention, every Easter
weekend.
|
Temple of No
Well, actually, yes!
|
And then there's me. |
Facebook
When
I was in college, it was the hot new thing. Now it's just for
middle-aged people and older! Unfortunately, that describes me somehow.
|
DeviantArt
I'm not really a visual artist, but I've smudged and dabbled a few
things. I've put many of them here!
|
Livejournal
It hasn't been updated since 2017, but my old LiveJournal still exists
for curious souls.
|
Daily Wordle Poems
For nine months, I was the Wordle Poet! @dailywordlepoem on X, I
crafted a poem each day from my Wordle guesses, using a single starting
word for each dectet of puzzles. (But I didn't actually do it every day
- I missed a lot of periods and eventually tired of the creative
endeavor.)
|
 |
Clicking on me is a PG-13 act!
|
Hey! Check
out the interactive novel I wrote: What
Is Best? I'm selling it on CreateSpace! |
 |
Is it Storytime? If so, this oddball
collection of old unpublishable fiction may hit the spot.
|
 |
I had a fan fiction period! Here are links to what I've had the audacity to
do with the creations of others.
|

|
On the
other hand, sometimes it's poetry that
best amuses both hemispheres of our brains.
|
 |
Here, for my own reference and
yours, are dozens of filk
songs! Behold the silly, motley music of science fiction and
fantasy fandom. |

|
Perhaps
it's swiftly written, creative short plays that intrigue you! Check out
my scripts
for Carleton College's former cold-reading theater group, Chelsea 11:17! |
 |
I
remain a low-key aficionado of the seminal unscripted game show
Survivor, but at one point, I was a full-blown fan. I even created
content for a little while! Here are my articles on Season 5, Survivor:
Thailand, which I wrote for the defunct fansite survivorfire.com.
|
 |
If
you ask me my favorite video game, I may hem and haw, but the words
Lode Runner will probably issue from my mouth! This 1983 classic has
been revived many times for the modern world! Check out my amazing
levels for it! |
 |
Are you an artiste? Then
your senses will perhaps be offended by my portfolio of Crayola Marker Art!
|
 |
Do you believe in the healing
power of the mandala? You do?
Well, you
give it more credence than I do. Nevertheless, here are a couple I made!
|
 |
Interested
in a stranger's opinions on
webcomics? Here's a list of the ones I read, or used to read, or
still read - with 20-word synopses!
|
|
If you've spent as much time MUCKing about as I have, you may relate to
this homage to text-based roleplaying!
|
 |
Games
are an important part of my life. How about yours? If you're interested
in checking out my various inventions and variants, this is the place
to look.
|
 |
Even if you have the bad habit of screwing your head on
upside-down in the morning, you can still ensure some legibility
through the judicious use of ambigrams.
|
 |
The
time has come! Make your choice!!!!!
