Many of these essays originally appeared at An Island Where No One Lives and Crap and Garbage in Violent Opposition.  They have been adapted and edited for inclusion here.  Others make their debut here.

Essays are presented (roughly) in the chronological order in which they were completed, when that matters.  Since some essays were started and completed while others were still being written, some references here and there will be out of date.

Please note that these essays are seldom considered final versions.  Updates, as well as corrections to spelling and grammar, will be ongoing.  Any major revisions of a particular work will be so marked.
