Visitors stop by
Ponder hyperlinked signals
Want better graphics.

3 March 2002
Snow falls in South Bend
I postpone my return flight
More family time.

11 March 2002
Exploits from Bugtraq
Bugs in other people's code:
Most software bugs me.

18 March 2002
tbird's new home page
ripples in the ethernet
a PM poem.

14 April 2002
This morning's sun
annihilates past knowing:
change, and change again.

15 July 2002 Haiku
Time for new haiku:
Lacking inspiration, I
waste this space again.

2 September 2002 Haiku
Ripples in the Force
Complexity surrounds me
Comfort's over-rated.

8 September 2002 Haiku - for Claudia and Todd
Claudia weds Todd
Binding hearts, minds, bodies
Todd weds Claudia

19 September 2002 Haiku
Parting's bittersweet,
but staying's no good either:
Free will's not easy.

In between the worlds
summer embraces winter
sky and earth entwine.

How I wish for snow
The holidays seem empty
when it's so darn warm.

Sunrays laugh for joy
dancing moon through rainy sky:
dwell in lasting bliss.

Some things can't be said:
Sky above and earth below
You with me, singing.

Oliver missing...
autumn sky heavy with tears
...my beloved Slink.
|
On 10 November 2004, we discovered that Oliver had hidden in a small, infrequently used maintenance closet in our apartment complex to die, after a short but intense illness. I'd thought he'd been recovering, alas. My life is filled with remarkable animals, but Oliver will always be the most remarkable of them, I think: companionable, curious about every aspect of his surroundings, fearless and utterly charming. Thanks to all for their support during the time of grief.

Way out of practice
No haiku for long long months
Must begin again.

SHA-1 has been cracked.
Collisions in the digests:
Oh what shall we do?

Some days I just can't
write reasonable haiku
to save my own life.

9 December 2005
Current life turmoil
keeps me from sleeping at night:
what did I do wrong?

28 Jan 2006
Challenger silenced.
Ad astra per aspera:
we should not forget.

2 Jan 2007
Am I now grown up?
Family, money, passion:
no clear path ahead.
