sorry for the long absence with no news

The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.
—William Hazlitt
My father died suddenly on the 13th of March, and my family and I went to the USA to deal with the funeral and family matters.

The truth is I have been and still am pretty much out of it. The other day for about 15 minutes straight, I found myself in a panic; I could no longer tell time on an analog watchface, and was even having trouble parsing the meaning of a 24-hour displayed time. Am I late? Am I on time?; it was strange and disorienting. Last night I found myself unable to move for about ½-an-hour, until finally I felt some weight lift from my neck and shoulders. Grief manifests in very strange ways, and I am just trying to ride it out right now.

(Many of you will notice that a lot of posts have gone up at once. I managed to edit a backlog over the weekend, and have just run through a rash of publishing button mashing. )

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
