A Dozen Interesting Pages I Have Bookmarked Over The Years

Sooner or later you have to clear your cache, your cookies and occasionally trim your bookmarks. Tonight I decided to remove those that I saw no use for, but to do so required checking out most of the rest before choosing to delete or save. Here are a dozen web pages that may be of interest to a portion of the readers here. Many stem from my writing and advertising career, some from other interests and a few are Dylan related. You expected that, right? 

The titles of each site are in bold so you know they are titles, but they are also hotlinks. I had a half dozen other topics in the queue, but none were completely ready to go. C'est la vie.

A Quote for the Day
When a youth was giving himself airs in the Theater and saying, 
"I am wise because I have conversed with many wise men,"
Epictetus replied, "I, too, have conversed with many rich men, 
yet I am not rich.

Intergalactica: Part VIII (finis)

Words were useless, but soon they found creative ways to tell their stories. Aurora explained how she had been sent to find a new home for the people of Earth. Njall, using gestures, symbols and the universal language of mathematics, helped Aurora comprehend the plight of Galdur.

For a long time each was silent, pondering the meaning of these things. Aurora then stepped back a pace and as she did so her belt began to radiate in a fascinating swirl of lights and colors, clouds, oceans and deep spacial wonders. Njall’s cheeks flushed and her eyes went wide as she became mesmerized by so strange a sight, and the emergence of a new hope for the peoples of two planets, so different and so the same.




Intergalactica was a collaborative project conceived and produced by Patty Peterson Mahnke, Kate Dupre and Ed Newman in the spring of 2012 in conjunction with Artist Kamikaze IV. The role of Njall was played by Kailyn Avery.

Intergalactica: Part VII

As she entered the forbidden forest she caught sight of Aurora and was struck dumb by Aurora’s bright spirit and beauty. Weary of the hopeless outlook of her people, Njall stared at Aurora and wondered how anything but goodness could be in store for her people.

Though it was against her nature, Njall stepped out of the shadows into the light of Aurora’s presence and crept toward this wonderful and strange being that stood before her.

Intergalactica: Part VI

Within the shadows of the forest Aurora stood motionless, fully aware. Njall, contrary to her tribal tendency to flee, went forward to explore. This was the forbidden Forest of Griffton. Njall had heard that there was an altar there to an unknown God and she suddenly felt compelled to find it, for what reason she knew not.
