There is a very special place in Hell for spammers.

I just had to do a global comment purge and deactivate the Comments module... of 1007 comments on the site, about 950 were robot spam. Even with account registration turned off they're getting through. Gotta look into that.

Also purged the bulk of site accounts, except for people who use SuperScribe. If you need an account restored, please email me. Try not to trigger SpamAssassin.

What I *ought* to do is to switch over to my own SimpleBlog module.

My lovely wife managed to snap up five excellent photos of the Ars Nova concert that Rob and I gave (at their very gracious invitation). Click below for more!

This is an invitation to a discussion on a topic I've just posted in my forum. I make the (perhaps preposterous) claim that roleplaying games are a healthy activity choice for both children and adults, from a moral, creative and social perspective.

A general unzipping of the fly, as it were.

Rob and my June 6th Uncharted concert at Ars Nova in Manhattan is now on sale! Here be a link. Love to have some friendly faces in the audience...

Thought this might be of interest.

Rob Seitelman and I have been invited to give an evening performance of our work at Ars Nova in New York City on June 6th. We'll be performing selections from Paradise Lost with some of the Showcase cast and other performers, as well as some of our other work.

The Paradise Lost showcase is now closed, and the post-mortem with the cast is tonight. But in the meantime, some general thoughts on what I have learned by doing this.
