New website design (sort of) and the trip to Tuscaloosa to see Neil Gaiman (20 Feb 2010). This past Thursday, Sarah and I went down to Tuscaloosa to visit the University of Alabama campus (especially Gorgas Library) and to attend an event featuring one of my favorite authors: Neil Gaiman. I talk a little bit about that event and some about changing the layout of my site to better work with mobile devices and so forth.
A writing friend of mine once pointed out the works of "Topaz" McGonagall as very bad poetry. At first, a random smattering of his stuff didn't seem that bad, but then I read a little more and a little more. I began to realize that he was truly horrible. In fact, he often bears the title of "Worst English Poet" (I suppose out of those that were published and were in contending as real poets, since there are likely worse that one would never have heard of). In fact, you can get a whole fix of his stuff at http://www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk/ if you want. I think you might enjoy it. It is different, or something like that.
