Well, its been a few weeks since I've been on here.  I haven't done much in the way of coding or anything technical that has any substance, but I have been reading and I have finally started drawing some.  I'll be uploading some vector graphics and scanned images from the the old sketchbook for your viewing pleasure...but mostly because I'm bored and I want to learn Expression Design. 

Well my summer readings are well under way.  I have finished my first book and am working on several others.  I have a stack that I rotate through, and read around ten rather than just sitting and reading one at a time.  It helps me to focus when I actually do need to do just one thing later on.  Gotta have some mental scattering to feed some ADD tendencies. 

Anyway, the first book was called The Regulators.  It's by Richard Bachman (the lesser known alter ego of Stephen King), and is really strange but a fun read.  As expected I suppose.  I would have to say it was a good introduction to Stephen King and because of it I will likely end up reading everything he ever published sometime during the course of the next year.  It is about an ancient creature that inhabits the mind of a special young autistic boy who seems to have some mental powers.  Anyway he begins acting out his childish fantasies, with heavy influences from westerns and sci-fi.

Thanks Mom for getting that one to me.  If not for you, I would  never have picked up many of the books I read.  You semi-random choices of gifts always give me something to do, and I would not have found Peter Straub or Steve Cannell.  And I never would have picked up a book by Tom Clancy or Stephen King.

More to come...
