May 23

I spoke too soon. Spent the weekend doing "stock reconciliation," so I found a few books that still weren't listed on the Lame Excuse Books page, on ABE, or listed in one of those places but already sold. Everything is now in perfect harmony, and all your stocklist are belong to us.

May 23

Finished adding books to the Lame Excuse Books page. "Our long national booklisting nightmare is over..." At least for hardbacks. Don't expect the paperbacks to be up anytime soon.

May 22

Added still more books to the Lame Excuse Books page. Up through S...

May 15

Added even more books to the Lame Excuse Books page. The file is now too large to edit in Simple Text, so I had to switched to Word 5.0 (Word 98 wants to put Microsoft crap into the file everytime I save.) Up through M...

Added more books to the Lame Excuse Books page.
Changed the background of my main web page from this:

after hearing comments like "Ah! I'm blind!" and "No, it's not too bright, when compared to the detonation of a nuclear weapon." It seems picyune concerns over little things like "legibility" will continue to stiffle my cutting-edge graphics design impulses. (Note that this never stopped Wired magazine...)

As a bonus, take a look at what I like to call The Page From Which No Text Can Escape.

Updated the main page, Fiction and Links.
