ART WRITING short
stories MISC ART A few years
ago, a friend of mine introduced me to a new system
extension called kaleidoscope. I had never seen so many
icons and beatiful colors on my performa 6116 before. So
impressed i was that i immediately constructed my first and
only kaleidoscope set which included pieces of bread as
folders and a toaster (with and without toast to represent
empty and full). There used res-edit to make several icons
within the set. From that point on, i've been infamously
known (among my family at the time) as the jerk who crowded
the computer with icons, icons everywhere! I can still hear
my mother screaming "where's my email icon!? I can't check
my mail without my old email icon!!" I've been making icons
as an icon enthusiast ever since. The 'icons' section is
starting to gain popularity thanks to the Icon
Factory
and Icon
Parade.
thanks. I've been
painting a bit lately too. READ A collection
of short stories, essays, poetry and nonesense await
you. I'm
notorious for starting books and stories that i will never
finish. I post them on the internet so people can read them,
and so that i may remind myself that i need to finish them
sometime. So if you have sufficient time on your hands,
check out New
York City,
Toast,
and then i woke, and The
Lonely Adventures of Meduim
Guy. MISC For those
who take the time to sift through the leftovers, ye may
glean great rewards. I like to look around on the internet
and steal ideas, links, and graphics. If you are like me,
here is a nice place to start. Now, if you
are really bored, you can read through all the 'thank you' s
and stuff. Firstly i'd like to thank capitalism, Richard
Nixon (he wasn't all bad), and Ronald Reagan. I'd like to
think somebody named stu, but I don't know anyone by that
name. I'd like to thank one hit wonders like Vanilla Ice,
New Kids on the Block, Milli Vanilli, and the (soon to be
forgotten) Backstreet Boys. I'd like to thank the color
orange. I'd like to thank God, Andy, Forrest, Ty, Billy,
Natalie, Reno, Chanti, Anniliese, Chris, Steve, Ben, Tim,
the other Ben, Skinny Joe, water, ink pens, Apple
Computer,
The iomega
corp., Steve Jobs, Michelle, Frank Black, the
Icon
Factory,
Jon Spencer, all of the robots of Servotron (especially
proto unit V3), Chank Diesel, and several others. They all
in some way or another helped me to build this site. I'd
also like to thank a few other inspirations like:
Dr.
Laura,
Rick Wade, DeWayne Bartels, Rush Limbaugh, Alexander
Supertramp, Jon Krakauer, C.S. Lewis, Ray Bradbury, coffee,
Johnny Cash, Forrest (gort) Walter, Electricity, my beloved
pen pal, and big pants.
