Here’s my latest, a feature on a “poetry therapist” in the Tidings, titled, “Grief brought to numbers.”
The title I took from a great poem by John Donne, one of my favorite poets.
The Triple Fool
I am two fools, I know,
For loving, and for saying so
In whining poetry;
But where’s that wise man, that would not be I,

I’ve been working this past month helping PBwiki, the world’s largest providers of wiki software and hosting, to build on recent successes by getting some good press coverage. My goal was to secure commitments to publishing four stories, which I’ve done. (I’ll add links when the articles become available.) [Update: five now.]

Of all the places to fall and brutally twist one’s ankle I simply could not, in good conscience, recommend a better place than the steps in front of the New York Public Library. Simply without peer.

I did not publish a post on Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant (St. David’s Day) this year like I did in 2005 and 2006. The daffodils did not have the common sense, self respect and decency to blossom on March 1 as they are supposed to. Perhaps it’s the year. Perhaps it’s the fact that [...]

The greatest band ever, The Dream Teens, have released a new single. It’s a gigantic club hit on Ibiza. “One Mr. Yo” is available for download. It is awesome and also rules.
