The Fine Print.

While comments and criticism are most welcome, incorporation is subject to the constraints of my personal taste & HTML programming ability (both which tend towards origin). The site is designed with a Sony Vaio VGN-SZ381P notebook, running Windows Vista, (stubbornly) using Windows Notepad as an editor, and assisted by tools off the Web. It is maintained primarily with pizza, burritos, beer, coffee, and inordinate amounts of time.

Graphics on this site were obtained from various web sources; most are posted with no attribution. If you see your artwork/graphic/photograph displayed and have a strong desire for a royalty fee, please email me (it will then be removed). Some graphics are courtesy of ArtByCheryl.com and Piled Higher and Deeper.

(Potentially) frivolous extras: I keep a blank page in line with the TPILB Project. I utilize the weblog services of Blogger for the online journals. Most pages on the site were designed to be compatible with any browser, although the design format probably looks best on a browser configured with a full-screen resolution of 1024x768 (or higher).

The quote on the main homepage is by Quintus Horatius Flaccus (Horace) (65-8 B.C.), a Roman philosopher and literary critic, in his Carmina (Bk. I, Vol. 11, Ver. 7), It translates, from Latin, "While we are speaking envious time will have fled: Seize the day, believing as little as possible in tomorrow". The image is that of white clouds on a blue sky, displaying the phenomenon of crepuscular rays---also known as Buddha's fingers, sun drawing water, or ropes of Maui (taken by Ian Britton).
