A great day for posting

March 28th, 2007 · 2 Comments

I’ve been working most of the day, but took some time out for fun posts: Star Wars stamps at Common Themes, and weightless flights being sold by Sharper Image at CSpace. I also made a favicon to match my Themes masthead, finally.

On a slightly less asplodey note

I’m quiet about it online, but I’m a huge fan of Martha Stewart, so when I found that she’d talked to the onboard crew of the ISS last week, I was delighted.

Now with more waiting.

December 7th, 2006 · No Comments

As as few of you knew, I submitted Zip and Themes to 9Rules during the Round 5 submissions in October. Since they received almost 1100 submissions, it took a while to go through, and they are now starting to announce their selections, on a daily basis over the next two weeks. I have few hopes [...]

Common Themes

August 19th, 2006 · No Comments

Before I lose track, I’m launching the other SuperSekrit!Blog.
Common Themes explores the influence of spaceflight and space exploration — also astronomy and science fiction, to a lesser degree — on aspects of human civilization and culture.
