Heave aweigh, haul aweigh! We are sailing for clearer skies. By clearer skies, I also mean “more appropriate urls”.

By the end of the week, our ship will have traversed the skies once more to drop anchor at her new mooring. Of course, our indecisive Captain remains unsure of just where that will be. There are two beautiful, secluded coves that no-one has yet stumble upon. Both have crystal clear waters and lush green foliage at the shoreline. The only difference is one has a peninsula in the middle, and one does not. You see, resting an Airship to anchor is not an easy task, and our beloved Captain is somewhat lazy. He feels that the grass will always be greener (or… water… blue-er…), but finds it ironic, because they both lay under the same sky (which is of much more use to the Captain of a dirigible).

Help the Captain decide, or the stress will force him to start drinking… again!

One of the real reason this site exists, as somewhere to host my work, is now finally up and running. If you have a few moments to spare or are genuinely bored, hit up The Moor and peruse what has appeared overnight.

Just in case anyone was in doubt, fractals are officially awesome.

I was stumbling through my thoughts today and for some reason the word ‘Anchorage’ refused to leave me alone. I like the way it rolls off the tip of your brain. There are so many images it seems to evoke, but the strongest I think is a mist enshrouded bay, calm waters and a lone lighthouse. Maybe a pipe smoking sailor. The problem is, along with this image of pure serenity comes the notion of a naval space station with a Dreadnaught fleet ready to make the jump to lightspeed.

Of course Naval just makes me think of oranges.
