  Starting tomorrow I'm going to serialize Cross Product here; one chapter will appear every Monday morning through the Summer. I've set them up to appear as new postings, b
• Cross Product, chapter 15: The eleutherophobe
  Again Mella returned to the tripod and lantern. There were faint clinkings. Maybe she was cooking up a stir-fry in the wok. That wasn't really a very amusing thought; I wa
• Cross Product, chapter 14: In a midnight choir
  Late on Saturday afternoon I was lying on a soft, mossy slope in the sun, looking up at the clouds and thinking of not much of anything. I had gotten so far into the whole
• Cross Product, chapter 13: Every possible Universe
  Far too early and far too loud, Taylor was hip-checking me in my sleeping bag and saying "Wake up, sleepyhead! It's morning!" I pried my eyelids open and indeed it was. I
• Cross Product, chapter 12: Crimson and pearl
  I stood on a bared mound of rock watching the yellow Sun sinking into the trees. It almost lined up with a straight row of hills, and I wondered if it would line up with t
• Cross Product, chapter 11: Whiteshade simple

  When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When I was working for a company that did relational databases, we tried to tell our clients that ev

  I hate parties. That's why I go to every one I'm invited to. I'm trying to expand my horizons, stalk myself. When I got an email from my friend, or perhaps I should say my

  I spent Monday at work doing code inspection. I ride to work every morning wondering why I put up with it, or at least mornings when I've got a backlog, but there are enou
