It strikes me that there should be something incredibly insightful that I could and should say in order to introduce you, the intrepid wayfarer, to this, the corner of the site that best reflects the organized chaos that is my brain.
Failing that, I could always juggle for you. Or not. Perhaps I could sell advertising--"Fluorescent Orange Lava Bombs, 25c a piece!" At any rate, I thank you for your patience and indulgence, for your willingness to visit my site, and I look forward to hearing your comments.
Please note that this is not a blog, at least not a blog in the traditional sense. I hand code all these pages, and have no real interest in creating a forum for back-and-forth discussion in this space. Mostly, this is just a way for me to keep my creative juices flowing in a semi-regulated way. The rest of the site is the meaningful stuff. If you are looking for something with purpose and direction, you'd be best suited in those other sections.
That having been said, I do hope you enjoy what you read. Feel free to peruse as far back as you can/wish to. There's some rather good writing in 1999, and some rather inferior stuff in 2002, so perhaps, like a fine wine, my writing is better the staler it is. Move along now. There is nothing more to see here.
PS. If you have any comments about my articles, please drop me a line: aklages at mts dot net. I'd love to hear from you.
