Sigh

Aargh! I’ve been infected with a virus that emails spam. Norton detects a dozen emails at a time, most of them caught either by Norton or my ISP. Still being stuck on dial-up probably saved me from hundreds of Japanese spam filter lists. That seems to be where most of… Continue reading

Sale – Kfzhrbfl

Alien Skin magazine accepted my story “Kfzhrbfl” for their April/May 2007 issue. It’s a goofy little flash fiction piece that probably found the right home.
