"Aha!" he said, "mine'll be self-referential!"
Telling a story in six words? Unbelievable, until you see the evidence! Over on Wired:
Very Short Stories. Writers needing exercises, try it out!

P.S. Technically I realize that the above is an essay told in six-word sentences, not four separate six-word stories, but then many of the "stories" over on Wired are really haiku-like phrases that set a scene. So sue me.

dresan.net
Over on our sister site www.dresan.net, I've added a wiki, a blog, and some forums. For an explanation of why, check out Why Dresan.Net? over on the dresan.net blog.
The short story is that the Library of Dresan will remain my primary blog, but I've created dresan.net as a playground to experiment with new technologies. It's still a little rough, but I hope to beat it into shape over the next few weeks.
So enjoy!

Scrolling through RSS
Once again, I am behind the technology curve. Google Reader provides a convenient interface to a whole bunch of RSS feeds with a much more convenient interface than my other RSS readers - plus it has a neat "scrolling down counts a message as read unless you tell me otherwise" feature which makes it easy to keep up with new articles just by scrolling through whatever's new every time you look at it. Like Google Bookmarks (available if you log in) and Google Notebook (available through the Google Labs page) all these "always-on" services are changing my view of the Web.
Except of course I still can't get internet at home, dag nab it, since I live on the surface of Mars, which does put a kink in the whole thing (hence my nickname "Internet Cafe Boy"). Oh well. I pray that state of affairs won't last forever.
