Applegarth Books
Web Design
I built the Web site for Applegarth Books, www.applegarthbooks.com, my older brother's used books store in Tennessee. Have a look, and stop by if you're in the neighborhood!
My Writing
When I was teaching at Front Range Community College, I developed a few essays as examples for my students.
To get a little more personal, here's a poem I wrote about Bear, titled Valentine's Day (39KB PDF).
Friends and family: Here's my 2008 Christmas letter.
I admire Maya Angelou's writing and taught my students about what she wrote:
"There is no greater agony than bearing
an untold story inside you." — Maya Angelou
The Feb. 2008 GSA Today is one of GSA's
most-read issues.
Work
This year, GSA Today, the Geological Society of America's member news and science magazine, was transferred from the Publications department to the Communications & Marketing department, and Margo (the graphic designer) and I went with it. Now, in addition to serving as the managing editor of GSA Today, I am managing editor of our e-news magazine, GSA Connection, as well as backup to our Webmaster.
For my pick of the top articles for the last 10 years, read my retrospective, GSA Today science articles: Hot topics and recurring themes, 1998 to 2008.
Buddy and me.
Tiberius: Looking good at 18 years old.
Blue Aroo!
Buddy, Tiberius, and Blue Aroo too!
Buddy (dog) and Tiberius (cat) have been my great companions for a good long time—Tiberius for 18 years(!) and Buddy for almost 9. Tiberius' sister, Nyota, died a couple of years ago from complications of diabetes, and we still miss her.
June 2009: Bear and I have a new addition to the family. A week after Bear's chow-chow mix died in early June (he was 16), we adopted Blue Aroo, an 11-yr-old husky mix from the MaxFund shelter in Denver. He's a great dog, and a great addition to our elderly family! (But don't tell any of them they're elderly — Blue thinks he's two.)
"If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, then at least do them no harm." —the Dalai Lama
