I've put together 14 high-quality original podsafe instrumental tunes from my Penmachine Podcast into a CD album you can buy. It also includes a bonus data DVD with a bunch of cool stuff that isn't on this website. Find out more...
In the '80s there was a tremendously popular comic strip called Bloom County. Its creator, Berkeley Breathed (where did he get a name like that?) has a pretty decent Web site, which includes lots of drawings of his most famous character, Opus the long-suffering penguin.
In March 1987, someone stole the large stuffed Opus toy I brought as a decoration for the Last Class Bash, which I had helped organize for the Science Undergraduate Society of UBC (Bloom County was big with the college crowd). I've never quite forgiven whoever took my Opus.
