I’ve been a busy little techie recently. My writing has suffered for it. I’ve been preoccupied with rebuilding both this site and Iridium. When Apple updated MacOSX to 10.4.4, it had the side effect of uninstalling Iridium. This is because Apple made changes to one of the core files in Iridium Extra...

upon waking

with the warm glow of you utterly present

i sigh a smile.

still listening

to your eyes

and all their stories that i wait to know.

breathe

slowly in stillness.

and feel the air cool and slow linger within.

I am currently seeking assistance from legal owners of Intel-based Macs.

In it’s current form, Iridium will successfully skin any application running under Rosetta, but not native applications on the much anticipated Intel-based macs to be released in 2006.

This is because my edits change mostly...

I woke up this morning to the silence.

It was open and warm with the memory of yesterday.

Filled with thoughts of you for me to linger upon.

Please never doubt that your smile can inspire words as graceful as these.

For even the ghost of your presence smells warm like spring.

And dreams me of May when you and I can know each other among the flowers.

Take a walk with me through water falling and puddled beneath our feet

and laugh word with me as we spend time remembering each other

together our words will paint pictures in oils and chalk that the water from above will spread to every corner of the sidewalk and make it ours together.

How have you captured my dreaming thoughts so clearly and so soon?

Already I smile at the thought of you.

within the moment of rain

the sound the crack and splat

the sound expands and washes across the noise cleansing the street of traffic and conversation

months are peeled away revealing the ever-present beneath

but I sit here in a cavernous place feeling that my heart is alone

and all I have are memories of love requited and not

wishing for either now

Peter van der Krogt posted details of J. Carrington Sellars Chemistianity on the web. Realizing that I was building a new look for MacOSX that echoed Apple’s old Platinum, I started looking around the web for information about metals that were similar to Platinum. When I reached Peter’s site, this...

Bandar Raffah is the designer responsible for the incredibly cute Tux-n-tosh icons. Back in 2003, he designed an icon set called Feelsright, and I do agree, it does “feel right.” I have only had to make some small adjustments to the pack to make it fit Iridium. And, Bandar has started to produce...

Bandar Raffah has graciously allowed me to use his Feelsright icons in Iridium. I am honored to include such a wonderful set of icons in my download. Other recent changes to Iridium include improved skinning of the Drawers. It’s nearly done, and hopefully, you will be able to download it soon.
