		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been making slow progress at various projects, primarily trying to fix some bugs in my Brainsucking Mutants game and contemplating a paper doll system (pixel art) for it. I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ll manage, but I have a few random (not very good, as you&#8217;ll see) pixel art doodles to prove that I haven&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, September isn&#8217;t over, but my experiment with pricing my biopunk novel, Fourwar, on Amazon Kindle at $0.99 is. I reduced the price at the beginning of September, made the requisite announcements on Twitter and my other social networks, and pressed on with my (admittedly light) marketing efforts. Net result? Zero sales, no change from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More playing around with my tablet. This one is just intended to portray some sort of night-elementals, both the figure and the caged lantern-creature. Somebody suggested the latter is a bit like the жар-птица (firebird) from Slavic lore, which is amusing, since I was initially going for something like caged glowing birds, maybe phoenix-like, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m always searching for new stuff to listen to, both for inspiration and variety, and lately my favorite bands have been female-fronted metal bands along the lines of Lacuna Coil and Tracktor Bowling, and some of the more progressive punk/post-punk groups like The Receiving End of Sirens. I don&#8217;t seem to have been able to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick note to mention that I finally posted my second novel (finished right at the end of 2005!) on this website under my writing section. FourWar is a bit (okay, a lot!) less fantastic than Alice, trading off the dreamlike qualities for something best described as a sort of sociological cyberpunk scifi blend, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve decided to go ahead and make all of my completed (and one mostly-complete) tracks available here under a CC-BY-SA License. There are 13 tracks so far, all trance-influenced electronica, some with female vocals by Naomi. Any and all feedback is appreciated, but mostly &#8212; enjoy! On a related note, I&#8217;m making decent headway on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, as you can see, I&#8217;ve been reading both the highbrow and the low. A little of everything for the win! To start: Thomas Pynchon&#8217;s Gravity&#8217;s Rainbow is a pretty fun read. A large mix of history, science, the occult, and Pynchon&#8217;s very odd brain, this one took me a bit longer to read through [...]]]></description>
