    Kaʻiulani: The Sad Peacock Princess

    February 22, 2011 - By 

    During the course of making and decorating items for my shop in the STEAM hunt, I was struck by the story of Princess Ka’iulani of the Kingdom of Hawaii, who was deposed before she ever ruled by American business interests, and who died young after spending many years being educated in England. She was a proper Victorian lady of royal birth, and like the inestimable Isabella Bird, is an inspiration. In fact, she was known as the Peacock Princess, and so I have decided to include peacock feathers in my hunt gift, because God knows we all need a little…

    Creativity Killers: The Internets, TV, Fear, And Everything Else

    February 19, 2011 - By 

    Creativ(ity) is an easy kill. A simple search of creativity killers yields a multitude of would be candidates: television, the Internet, inflexibility, too much flexibility, fear, lack of fear, goals, lack of goals, time pressure, too much time. The list is sizable. via Phasing Grace | Social Architectures and Virtual Worlds: A Penchant for Creativity – Knights and Nobles. Wow! Yes. I am a little behind on a commitment I made to myself and to others to create, create, create. And the killers are all listed above, but chiefly “fear, surprise, terror, and an almost ruthless INefficiency” which causes me…

    Dhughan Triumphs Over Adversity …mumble…Bally walking sticks had stumped him

    February 17, 2011 - By 

    Dhughan here, having returned from a trip to a strange, sandy land to consult with an alien entity concerning a technical difficulty. With this help I was able to work out how to use Mme. Kamilah Hauptmann’s open source cane control script so that I could use her charming and clever Gentleman Jim and GJ Cane AO’s with one of my humble walking sticks. I spoke with a being who wore the sigil of a green lantern on her chest (their homeworld is most impressive), who traced the fault in my ivory-handled stick to either an incorrect rotation around its…
