Website Update
2008-01-06
I have, at my wife's recommendation, updated the logo graphic for the website slightly. It reads the same, but the colors are better suited to the website, the font is more legible, more in keeping with the theme, and is overall a better fit for the website. In addition, the unexplained (still) graphic in the upper left now has an added gradient to give it a more rustic or authentic feel. The previous look was a bit too cartoonish for my taste. I expect similar slight improvements overtime as I polish the layout of the site. Eventually I plan to move to a CMS once I have identified one that will work within this theme seemlessly.
Stories Now Posted
2008-01-04
I now have three short stories posted. These are in the Shorts section available in the menu. Due to a glitch in the TMOG, however, some of them appeared before this information. I am currently working on another short as well as my longer work. I am also planning to continue to post older work as I get it transcribed to the computer. I'll let you know. I hope you enjoy these works.
Happy New Year

I still don't have any stories posted, but I am planning to put up a few of my short stories. These are freebies, of course, but should be treated as copyrighted material. If you want to share them with someone, please point them to my website. If you absolutely must print them, fine, but don't be stupid about it. Anyway, the stories will go up soon, and will be in html format only (most are that short).
As a note, it is through the intrepid actions of the cunning Jared Smith that the Time Machine of Guam was both discovered and lost. Since he was the first person to have found the Time Machine of Guam, he is, logically, also the last. That's just how it is. Of course, there was also that incident with the Frisbee and the Bowling Ball, but now we know better. There's just something strange about the macro-quantum-chrono mechanics of bowling balls that makes it...well I've said too much already. If you must know, build your own Time Machine.
Oh, and by the way, here's to a fantabulistic 2008!
Welcome

This website is just getting launched, so if you've stumbled here trying to find out how to build your own time machine, then you won't find instructions just yet. Maybe later, but I don't know--time travel is funny like that.
Okay, so The Time Machine of Guam is this really cool time travel device, but I really can't tell you anything else about it because time travelers are extremely secretive. This is evidenced by the fact that the conference held by MIT on time travel failed to produce anyone that admitted to being a time-traveler. Whether or not any actually came is unknown to those who are not time-travelers.
Me? Who am I? Well, that's another story, which is what this site is all about. I tell stories, you listen, or read, and if you are kind I recieve funds of some sort that allow me to continue to do this. Since the site is still under construction, there aren't any stories available yet, but that will happen VERY soon.
Oh, and by the way, the Time Machine is sort of like a Schroedinger's device--you can only be certain if it is real or not by attempting to observe it, but it also operates on an extended Heisenberg principle, you can't know its location, velocity and time: the greater the precision that you use in defining any one of the three reduces the accuracy of the others. I think.
As another note, I'm still defining portions of the website, so expect to see some minor updates to the various graphics and perhaps the layout, but I <think> I've got what I want. I'm still considering potential renderings of the Machine itself, but I'm not an artist. If you know any good steampunk artists, let me know. [UPDATE: I may have found an artist! This is good news.]
