I was interviewed today by David Learn, one of the Brothers Grinn. If you haven’t seen the Brothers Grinn web site, check it out. They’ve also got a great mailing list worth checking out. I’m not sure when the interview will appear on their web site, but I CAN tell you there’s nothing like being […]

Secondly, do you want to know just how much I love my readers? A few weeks ago, I mentioned that my two favorite beers in the world were Westvlerteren 12, and, slightly behind it, Gulden Draak, both from Belgium. You know what? Today, in the mail, Jan Hendriks, of the Netherlands, SENT ME TWO BOTTLES […]

MAUDE THE CAT would like to wish you a belated Meow-y Christmas. Just look how happy she is…

Geeksville will NOT be ending with issue #5, as I bemoaned in Dork Tower #12! My mistake. SECONDLY — this Friday is the first in two years that there’s no new Dork Tower in Pyramid Magazine Online. To be honest, I just needed a bit of a break. Since I now make a living completely […]

I’m trying to teach myself how to draw on the computer. Not sure why I really need to, but I’m sure it will come in really useful some day. Once I stop sucking at it, that is… My first attempt is to the right. Note how subtley I manage to capture that certain essence de […]

MADISON AGAIN — The lovely and talented Judith and I are finally back in Madison. I thought I’d have a chance to update this page from afar, but it was not to be. So here are all the Muskrat Ramblings you missed. Too tired to say much of anything right now. But just wanted to […]
