Public service announcement: my AIM screen name is going to be changing in a few days. Despite my attachment to it-- we've been together for a decade now, give or take-- there's no logical reason to keep AOL anymore. With AOL gone, I don't think there's any way to keep Scryer1.

The new SN is Damaskena. Shouldn't be that hard to remember, right?

Since I'm often asked . . . my Scryer1 SN was originally a small joke on my behalf. Scrying, of course, is using an inanimate object to access information or events happening far away, or to communicate with those who are distant . . . and how, then, is a computer so different from a mirror or a pool of still water?

It lends credence to the theory that any technology, sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic.

And a joyous Yuletide to one and all, by the way.
