I redid my webpages today. Partially in honor of the day, partially because... these pages remain lamentable hand-made, and once the html gets a bit loony, there's no going back.
So--green, at least for now. On these pages and out my window.
Katya has been telling stories, building worlds, and creating the art to go with them for most of her life.
The content of these pages reflect her diverse interests over time
...is a pretty big deal here in Minnesota. We have it now. The blossoms in my yard are there to show me that. But, yes, there was a scattering of horizontally driven snow today just to remind us: this year we have it good.

FebruarySo--I'm starting to delete my old posts here. Check the most recent post here for the link to my new site--that's where these posts have been moved to. 2006July 9th, 2006: Today Katya is going to update her "Calendar." Okay, to be honest--after a false start, I've finally gotten going to work through this extensive mess of pages, and many of the small things are updated while the things I'd really like to get to are languishing. Look for a new header on the home page in the coming days--I love my old blue boar, but he's been in need of an updated look for, well, years, and, having had the idea for the new artwork, I need to get it done--and up! June: Thanks to Edward Perry, a long-time fan, for reminding me that these webpages are in need of updating, and providing the expertise to get me past my technical hesitations regarding updates post an upgrading of the system. Information from 2004, 2005, & 2006 has now been added, and, now that I'm linked to my service-provider once more, look for at least superficial updates being made to the these pages, or at least egregiously outdated information being removed from prominent positions. |

Sites I recommend
These ones are maintained by long-time personal friends.
William Reimann is a consummate artist. There are so many images to enjoy on this site. His carved wooden long-leaf red pine Rhinoceros (which he made for me when I was ~11 years old) is a personal favorite. Starless River Is the U.K. based caving gear store run by serious hard-ass Tony Seddon. This link goes to the 'caves' section of the store's site--complete with alarming portrait photo of Tony ("After 7 days underground and 700m prussiking"). The Oxford University Cave Club Maintained by Steve Roberts, a guy who is extraordinary in so many ways, I'll just limit myself here to saying "Steve is a man who knows about motors." Bensozia John Bedell is an archaeologist, historian, and father of five living in Maryland. His blog is a fascinating grab-bag of historical, artistic, and political materials. This entry about work and leisure gives a good example of his voice. Earthsign Studios This is Liz Manicatide (now Liz LaManche), principal at Emphasis Creative's personal art & graphics site. I love Liz's work, panache, and aerial artistry, which leads me to- Flying Squirrel Consortium Phil Servita's site, and the place to go for custom fabricated circus equipment (either freestanding or fixed point), and aerial classes, if you happen to live in the area. Paul Nordberg Paul's site is... unique, authentic, & expressive, and pretty much exactly what I think of when I think of a website as an artform. Metro Bikes Trails Guide (St. Paul, MN) "Reviews and Reports on over 70 bicycle paths in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area!" Maintained by the tireless Seamus Flynn, and a great little site for those local to the Twin Cities area. Green Ivy I enjoy the Ukrainian/Russian artisanship on this website. Sites I enjoy
I don't know these people, but I appreciate their work.
What's That Bug? The title says it all. A useful site for both the non-bug-phobic & the consummate bug-phobe. Margaret & Helen Best Friends for Sixty Years and Counting… Raging Grannies I'm not a grandmother (or raging!), but I appreciate this site. Especially the fact-checking part. |
