I’ve written a few things over the years, and I’ve posted some of these efforts under the Music page. There’s just one audio file to hear, and the rest are printed music scores. Check them out if such stuff interests you.

I think it looks more attractive, and I hope you do too. I would never claim to be a graphic designer, but I do what I can.

I recently had a chat with someone about Buddhism and Zen, and later in the week, while perusing the bookstore for something on web design and cascading style sheets (CSS), I found a beautiful book called The Zen of CSS Design. Though I am a programmer and not a designer, I am a great admirer of what graphic artists have brought to our experience of the web. Next time you’re surfing, you owe it to yourself to check out the CSS Zen Garden.
