T-Minus Four Days

It seems that Jerry's moved over to the new host, with Rick Hellewell's capable assistance. I've got one or two more sites to flip over, then I think nearly everything's off of Zidane.

It doesn't even sparkle and I got her to cry. Yeah, it's a few years earlier than we originally…

First Post! Natali Portman and Hot Grits!

Yeah, I've always wanted to have my own little bit of Slash* over here. If you're looking for the older stuff, you can start over there, on the Site Map. Search on the main site is currently broken, and that's on my to-do list. So, WordPress reappears on the OrbDesigns site. I'm going to be moving Marcia over to WP soon, and figured I'd better be using it first. Hmmm ... what about pictures?
