Man, it’s been a crazy fall. Every year that season feels less… “autumnal,” in the peaceful, calming sense of coming down from the highs of summer. And now all of a sudden the “holiday season” is upon us. I’ve never had to force myself into a Christmas state of mind the way I have this [...]

Welcome to the New Supraterranean!
The redesigned website went live on Monday night after about 10 days (and long nights) of hardcore work. But I’m very happy with the result and I hope you are too! (Please provide feedback on this blog post or elsewhere around the site.) Supraterranean has been reconfigured with the future of the Internet in mind. [...]
Redesign Update, pt. 2
I worked all last week and most of the weekend to customize the Linoluna theme for WordPress. Things have gone better than expected, so I plan on launching the new site tonight!

Redesign Update, pt. 1
I promised updates during the redesign process. Here is the first of those. I don’t want to give away too much before some kind of official relaunch. But I will be posting screen grabs so you can get an idea of what I’m shooting for. This is a sneak peek at the new article view [...]
A Long-Overdue Update
I’ve had trouble sticking to a schedule lately. Obviously Michigan is going through a rough time. I think those of us waiting out the storm are being forced into a reconsideration of all things…from personal to societal.

The first category consists of tech-savvy 25-and-older types, and most of these jumped on Twitter immediately, finding it a lot more interesting than other social media like Facebook. The second category might be people like myself, who have [...]
Letter from the Administrator
Dear Supraterranean Community, I write to you with mixed tidings for the new year. It’s hard for me to believe that Supraterranean has existed for six months. It has been a wild ride, for me at least. I’ve spent hundreds of hours on the development and maintenance of the web site – some for grad [...]
December Update
Here’s another quick update and apology. I have not been very active on this blog the past week or two. I’m currently very busy over at the MusicEdge blog on SpartanEdge.com, writing a huge End of 2008 Special in five or six parts. Please check it out if that’s your sort of thing. I’ve also [...]
Questions From A Reader
Recently a visitor named Steve posted a huge comment on Pump Up The Truth, my essay about the film Pump Up The Volume. I recommend that you read his entire post.

2008 Election Endorsement: Abstinence
Since this is sort of a publication, and many other publications — like newspapers, for example — offer election endorsements, I thought I would do the same. Hence, the official Supraterranean.com endorsement for the United States election in 2008 is…..(drum roll)…..total abstinence. I know what you’re thinking. “Abstain from voting?! But that would mean surrendering [...]
