4.28.2000 I'm in South Beach, Miami with a painful sunburn. Nothing like being pink and sweaty amongst the beautiful people!

4.26.2000 I'm heading to Miami tonight. Won't be back til Wed. I don't have a laptop, so don't expect many updates over the weekend. I'm frantically trying to finish at work (and I haven't packed) so excuse my brevity. Then again...don't people just hang out naked in Miami? How hard is it to pack for that?! Thanks for everyone who responded regarding the webcam experiement! It's gonna be coooool. The beta test should be ready next week. I'll e-mail when I return.

This week started with christian children looking for hard-boiled eggs hidden in the yard by a rabbit. Then we had hard-looking agents looking for Elian hiding in a closet scared as a rabbit. Crazy world, huh? But it's t r u e

4.25.2000 Here's a fun picture of my brother

It's giving me a ton of trouble with net congestion, but you can *try* to see me fumble through my Interviews with the stars of "Gossip." Just click on "interview' to hear me say "uh" while demonstating poor posture. Try the slower connection speeds if it gives ya trouble.

In the future, everything will come in three flavors: Cool Ranch, BBQ, and Nacho Cheese. *EVERYTHING*

My brother always complains that they include "buttered popcorn" with all the dessert flavored Jelly Bellys. We keep talking about making a list of other bad ideas for flavors. Like "Mayonaisse"...or "Gravy." But HellyJelly beat us to the punch.

4.24.2000 As if I wasn't excited enough already about Burning Man...now Electric Skychurch is going to play at Camp Lustmonkey. Whoa. (For you non-electronica types...this is very friggin' cool)

I can't explain why I found this animation so funny. Then I spent 45 minutes tooling around newgrounds.com.

I haven't installed it myself, but I hear there's a Halcyon screensaver at teacosy.net

4.23.2000 The Tale of the Week is about my Trip to New York.

Here are some pictures from my weekend.

I'm off to my folks for our traditional Easter Beer Hunt. Here's pics from last year.

Happy Easter! Splendid Spring! I made you some holiday cards.

4.22.2000 Do you have a webcam? I'd love you to help me with new project. Shoot me an email and I'll get you the info as soon as it's ready. No cam? You can still be a beta tester. Just say, "no cam" in the e-mail. (It's gonna be SO cool!!! Trust me.)

4.21.2000 Elke is the first person to pledge me in the Masturbation-A-Thon. Thank you!

I'm packing up my desk at work. The decorating is done and we're moving to our new floor. Snazzy new offices. (And I get a window!!! Joy of joys!!)

I just got a SPAM offering a bunch of Adult Domains for sale: ravergirls.com gapgirls.com latexsluts.com slutcollege.com gothicpussy.com swallowingsluts.com slutsearcher.com yahoo69.com teenchocolate.com

4.20.2000 I wish I didn't like Hampster Dance 2 so much.

If you're in San Diego, check out the Beaux Arts Festival. I went last night and will be at the erotica fashion show on Sat. Cool art and people.

My brother went to a conference where they mispelled his nametag to read "Spyn." We both agreed that "Spyn" is a substantially cooler name than "Styn." "Halcyon Spyn"

Happy Passover & Happy 4/20! ...it's a spiritual day for Tokers and Torahs.

4.18.2000 There's some pictures online of my Dad being sworn in as a Judge

I forgot to mention, I had dinner with Jeffrey Zeldman on Friday night. He's even cooler in person. When I was making my first website, I typed "images" into Yahoo and pulled up Jeffrey Zeldman Presents. The web is better because of Jeffrey.

It's time for the Good Vibrations' Masturbate-A-Thon!!!. I think I'll particpate. Anyone want to pledge?

For the record: The women behind Teacosy.net have huge hearts and playful souls. If you can't appreciate their playfulness, then hit your "back" button. But please don't pass judgement or fling insults at people who come from a place of love. If you feel a need to put someone down, e-mail me, instead.

Karyn had some fun with pictures of me

Since Easter is around the corner (and since I was gone for the weekend), the Tale of the week is a re-run of "The Easter Theory" aka Easter Sucks Eggs. Available in downloadable flash version and old-school html.

4.17.2000 I've heard of screaming orgasms...but Streaming Orgasms? (18 & up)

ZDTV just told me that my interview won't air 'cause my site has too much nudity. BUMMER. But they're sending me a tape of the segment, so I'll try to digitize it anyway.

I AM SO SORRY. Shit. I just got send a "Pretty Park" virus by a friend and accidently released it on many people I love. I amn SOOO sorry. Please don't open that. A removal tool is here. And here I was so careful in *scary* New York city. Then I find out my trusted home on the Internet is where the true danger is. *sigh*

4.16.2000 Back from New York. Man, that's one hell of a town. So full of energy. Haven't slept, yet. Went from the club to the airport. I shopped like a princess. got TWO fake fur coats among other things. Now it's nap time.

4.13.2000 I'm heading to New york in a few hours. So pardon the lack of updates for the next few days. "Start spreading the news....I'm leaving today...."

Teacosy.net made a new Prehensile.com banner!

4.12.2000 Someone took my picture at the LTJ Bukem concert.

Did I mention that I'll be in New York this weekend? What should I do Saturday Night?

I just returned from the country courthouse. No, I'm not in trouble. I saw my Dad get sworn in as a judge. (I even wore a suit.) I should have some pictures online soon.

My friend Matt's art is now available online.

If you make web pages, you must read the latest browser commentary from The Web Standards Project

4.11.2000 The solution to the dreaded fanny pack: The Snatchpak

Some pretty important Pot Smoking Etiquette posted here: 18) It is very impolite to hand someone an empty bowl, without notifying that person of it's possible cashed-ness. A proper warning would be 'Here ya go...I think it might be cashed.' The person who fills the bowl is given the opportunity to take the first hit. It doesn't matter who's bowl it is.

Can't get enough of those wacky "Whassup!" parodies? Check out this well done Star Wars one.

4.10.2000 My name is Halcyon and I have a gadget addiction. In the last 6 weeks I've bought a Palm Pilot, cell phone, Cross Pad, and 5 minutes ago a digital camcorder. I need help.

*surges with pride* My Dad was appointed to be a Superior Court Judge today. :)

The new Fray story is a beaut' by Lance Arthur. Homboy's got mad skillz.

Insightful vibe: Wow. You're site is so...pink. Some may think "homosexual", but I think it is just a tribute to labia. Am I right??

Now THIS is a domain name with a purpose: www.scanyourass.com (Warning: the premiere ass isn't pretty). But I love their logo: ( * )

4.9.2000 The Tale of the Week would have gotten away with it...if it wasn't for those meddlesome kids. Enjoy "The fred conspiracy." (by "D")

The newly redesigned Teacosy.net has illustrated a beautiful story with pictures of me. The second time in the last 2 weeks I've been taught a similar lesson. I should probably pay attention. The first was: Whenever someone makes you feel hurt or angry, it is a gift. It is an opportunity to look in yourself and see *why* you feel that way. Because, in reality, nobody can *make* you feel anything. That person just triggered something inside you (probably from your past). When you feel the anger, it's an opportunity to look at that trigger and DECIDE how you want to react...instead of letting past issues make the decision for you.

There's a square-dancing convention downtown today. That's kinda like a rave for old people. Just replace baggy pants with poofy skirts.

4.7.2000 Many years ago when I bought the "Nasty as they Wanna Be" double album (on vinyl) I remember being surprised at the size of the models' behinds. The whole "Baby got Back" revolution (led by the valiant Sir Mixalot) had yet to educate my pale white mind on the ghetto benefits of a large ass. Speaking of 2 Live Crew & asses, this booty-shaking Flash intro is off tha hook.

I tweaked Prehensile.com to match my Springtime Dancing Ensemble.

4.6.2000 posted two pictures of my Springtime Dancing Ensemble. A spur of the moment fashion experiment.

Uploaded a beta version of a new Prehensile Main page. It's not quite feeling right. Hmmmmm.

Bravo! It's nice to know I can be summed up in a brilliant banner ad. [by kat]

4.5.2000 I believe the quote from yesterday was by Marianne Williamson. (But often attributed to Nelsen Mandela)

I'm going to see LTJ Bukem spin tonight.

This is a cool idea: The Guerrilla Banner Project asks for alternative links to your favorite websites. Here's your chance to mock me mercilessly.

Every child should read, "Rusty is a Homosexual."

4.4.2000 Which is more unhealthy? An actual hamburger or Crack in the Box?

Best quote ever: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone, and as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

There's lots of too-nice and some pretty-harsh comments about me on the Webbies Message Boards. But my favorite is: This is the best gay site that I've ever seen. I voted for it. It's delicious!

4.3.2000 Flash artist James P. kicks ass.

The entire Star Wars movie, in Flash, in under 4 minutes. (Thanks, Cam)

4.2.2000 The Tale of the Week is the gay version of the Superhero Whassup video. (Now imbeded on the page for those of you with downloadphobia.)

Lisa: Thank you for the flowers.

So the new Playboy (good articles, okay?) has a pictoral of Hugh's 22 year old twins. A picture of Hef with his twin bombshell lovers is the equivalent of what a towering cathedral was in the middle ages. It's so awe-inspiring that it gives us faith in a power larger than ourselves.

4.1.2000 I finally saw a picture of Trey Parker and Matt Stone at the Oscars. I heard they, too, had the idea to dress like Jenifer Lopez. Well, I supposed by the time of the Webby award show, it wouldn't be topical. But that's okay...I picked up a sky blue leisure suit today. Actually, I would *love* to show up in some sweet designer outfit as if it was the Oscars. Anybody in tight with Versace?

I'm working on a re-design of Prehensile Tale's main menu page. Without the weblog, it seems so cold.
