Interview With Alkaline Diet Expert: Gareth Edwards
2009-09-25 16:36:00 Every now and then something rather exciting and awesome happens at Energise HQ, and this is one of those things. I am extremely excited and proud to announce that we have managed to convince Gareth Edwards, perhaps the UK’s most qualified live blood microscopist to join the Energise ranks! Gareth is a raw food, ...
New Doomed to Obscurity Feature - New reader Guide
2009-09-17 22:29:00 http://www.penguinpetes.com/Doo-med_to_Obscurity/DTO_NRG.html As webcomics progress, they eventually get complex enough that a new reader may stumble onto the latest strip and not know what's going on. So the time is right to add a New Reader Guide - complete with overview about what the strip's about and profiles for the cast. Why is it "the right time"? Because I think it's better to let the strip itself show what the characters are like, instead of decreeing it up front before it gets rolling. Also, the profiles may change as time goes on and the stories develop - so telling too much in a profile would spoil it. Anyway, I can at last know that new readers can come into the strip and get up to speed.
Should be all better now?
2009-09-14 05:57:00 Just so everybody’s up to date with what’s going on, I rebuilt the site’s database over the weekend, and it looks like nothing important was lost. Meanwhile, I’ve slimmed the site down a bit (got rid of some bells & whistles), in the hopes that this will help avoid a recurrence of these problems. So the ...
Pardon my dust?

Hometown Favorite Lorelei Erisis Crowned Miss Trans Northampton
2009-09-08 21:36:00 Local activist, journalist and Pride emcee Lorelei Erisis won the Miss Trans Northampton 2009 pageant at the Center for the Arts this past weekend. The eight contestants represented, to my eyes, an interesting variety of ways for someone born biologically male to perform femininity. Those with a more petite build, like second runner-up Lily Rin, convincingly resembled young glamorous women, with high voices to match. Meanwhile, Lorelei and first runner-up Leslie-Anne Rios were tall and striking figures with deeper, rougher voices and a commanding stage presence. Their self-presentation occupied some third space between the conventions of male and female appearance. Leslie-Anne, for instance, looked sassy in an evening gown and sang a heartfelt song of her own composition about finding peace within--female?--but flexed her biceps with a wink at the end--male? Lorelei's talent-show entry was a performance piece about her transition, starting out in a man's suit and ending up in a br...

"Swallow" Poetry Chapbook by Jendi Reiter Now Available from Amsterdam Pres
2009-09-02 23:14:00 My poetry chapbook Swallow won the 2008 Flip Kelly Poetry Prize from Amsterdam Press and is now available for purchase online. Thanks are due to my awesome editor, Cindy Kelly; poet Ellen LaFleche, who helped me organize the collection and suggested the title; and my prison pen pal "Conway" who drew the amazing cover art. "Jendi Reiter's poems are arrows that plunge dead center into the hearts of feminism, religion, death, the interior of mental health and psychotherapy. Her humor and satire here are as sharply honed as are her indignation. All are delivered in highly imaginative and metaphoric imagery. This is an intelligent and powerful read that will leave issues bleeding in the minds of readers for a while before they heal." ?Ellaraine Lockie, award-winning poet, nonfiction author, educator "There's plenty of poetry I wouldn't give a fig for, but I'd give strawberries for the poems in Jendi Reiter's SWALLOW. When I started in Poetry in 1962, I felt poems were only p...

Stay Tuned for Miss Trans Northampton Pageant, Sept. 5
2009-08-31 21:00:00 The first-ever Miss Trans Northampton Pageant is scheduled for next Saturday, Sept. 5, at the Northampton Center for the Arts. This is one of only a few such events nationwide. Eight Massachusetts transwomen will compete in the categories of glamour, poise, evening gown and talent. "Transgender" is a broad term that includes transsexuals, transvestites, and those who choose not to identify as either male or female.The Springfield Republican newspaper ran a story on the event yesterday. Pageant organizer Christa L. Hilfers' gender odyssey is interesting in itself: Hilfers, 33, moved to Massachusetts three years ago from South Dakota. Born a biological male, Hilfers was raised by her mother as a girl. She went into foster care at age 9, but was allowed to continue living as a female. "I didn't try to live as a boy until I was 18," she said. Hilfers had a child with a woman, but the relationship failed, and she has not seen her daughter, now 15, for years. "After that I realized I...

Upcoming GLBT Conferences: Send Me Your Reports
2009-08-28 17:03:00 Three conferences of interest to GLBT Christians and straight allies are coming up this autumn. My heteronormative family responsibilities are likely to keep me from attending any of them. So I'm counting on you, dear readers, to send me your reports from the field. Write up your impressions and I'll consider them for publication on this blog, or send me a link to your own blog post about any of these events. Why Homosexuality? Religion, Globalization, and the Anglican Schism Yale Divinity School, New Haven, CTOctober 17, 2009This interdisciplinary conference is sponsored by the LGBT Studies Department at Yale. "Rather than restaging the arguments for and against the ordination of openly gay clergy, this day-long conference analyzes the threatened schism in the Anglican Communion in order to examine wide-ranging and interrelated issues of religion, secularism, globalization, nationalism, and modernity. How and why, we ask, has homosexuality come to serve as a flash point for so m...

Slackware 13.0 is Released!
2009-08-28 14:04:00 Ever since I've scrounged up a new box, I've been on pins and needles waiting for Slackware 13.0 to launch. And the day is here! This release is a landmark in Slackware history. We can officially dance in the streets now! The Torrents are torrenting! And by the way, yes, this blog's formatting still needs a little work. If you see a post with multiple comments, they're all run together like a pileup on a Los Angeles freeway. I'm still working on that. It's been busy. This year for me has been new home, new site design, new computer, new philosophy... this is exhausting, but worth it. But I'll blabber more on what on the blog gets moved where in its own post.
Site Re-Design: Blog Under Reconstruction 8/13/09 to 8/31/09
2009-08-14 01:25:00 Just for a notice, I have to bite the bullet, take a deep breath, and once again plunge headfirst into the sea of snakes that is the code for this blog. This won't be happening all at once. I'll try to keep it to night hours. My deadline is by the end of August. But during the transition period while I'm building the new style and fiddling with some code rewriting too, there may be chaos at any time. This won't affect the rest of the site, just the blog. During the next two weeks, visitors to this blog may experience 404 errors, 503 errors, unreadable pages, garbled PHP errors, missing posts, dead links, skin rashes, blank text, plagues of frogs, missing images, hungry zombie hordes, holes in the space-time continuum, dancing hamsters, haiku poltergeists, narwhal attacks, spontaneous break-dancing, and class-3 tornadoes. On a mild day. But it will be all worth it, because when it's over, we'll never have to look at this cotton-candy-boxes theme again. Plus after this, I wil...
Site Re-Design: Wallpaper Gallery and Webcomic
2009-08-09 00:55:00 As a way to put off re-doing the blog's design even further (it is going to be a BEAR of a job!) I've re-done the wallpaper dump and the webcomic in the new site theme. Hopefully, as we see it applied to more and more sections, it will start to make sense? Thank all of you who have gone to the trouble to critique and nitpick the style so far. Remember, just because I don't change something right away doesn't mean I'm not taking your criticism into account. I try to stack up a consensus over time and then weigh it carefully and act on that. Right now, the theme and style is kind of doing everything I want it to, but the way the style works with the comic isn't blowing me away, either. There's something about a big white rectangle looming in the middle of it that makes it look out of place. But because comics just don't travel well without a white border, I've gotta keep that. Also, I broke away from the Candice font to continue using my own custom font for Doomed to Obscur...
"Doomed to Obscurity" Now Appearing in the Linux Gazette
2009-08-01 21:46:00 With my permission, selected strips from Doomed to Obscurity will now be appearing in monthly issues of the Linux Gazette, the long-running (14 years and counting!) Linux-oriented webzine whose motto is ""Making Linux just a little more fun." Editor-in-chief Ben Okopnik wrote me last month expressing interest in running the comic there. I was pretty thrilled to be considered worthy to appear alongside the likes of XKCD! Actually, by "thrilled" I mean leaping out of my chair to do a few backflips going "woohoo! woohoo! woohoo!" like a Daffy Duck cartoon. It's a start, anyway.
Site Re-Design Progress: Main Index Beta
2009-07-29 22:13:00 http://penguinpetes.com/index.p-hp OK, here's my 'beta' preview for the main index. This is pretty consistent with the look I want for the whole site. I want the sections to float and the page to be liquid of course, so those boxes are going to do different things on different set-ups. In wide screens, they'll sit all in the top row. On narrower screens, they'll stack into columns. As far as I've checked in browsershots (almost always down these days, it seems), it's pretty bug-free except for sometimes how the div boxes position themselves, dropping down too far in (guess who?) IE on a narrow screen, but what the heck. That's what God gave us scrollwheels for, right? And it validates with a big ol' "Congratulations!" for XHTML 1.0 strict. So, everybody have a look at it, and I'll stand back and await the inevitable issues to be mentioned... If you have a comment on the page, please specify system/ browser/ screen resolution - that helps with troubleshooting.
How to Slow Sugar Cravings?In ONE SECOND FLAT!
2009-07-29 14:24:00 Everyone gets cravings and they can sometimes feel like the most powerful urges on Earth. When your body wants something it wants something.

Swine Flu: The Reality
2009-07-21 13:57:00 The whole Swine Flu thing is picking up pace again in the news, with the Daily Doom Mail, in particular, running with a series of quite alarmist, but paper-selling ’stories’. I have two issues with Swine Flu: It is flu. Flu is everywhere. Globally there are over 1 billion cases of flu diagnosed each ...
Site Re-Design Progress: Color Scheme Done
2009-07-11 03:01:00 Quick, before my promises of a new look for the site become vapor-ware, let me get the new color palette up: What you're seeing is largely how the composite of pages on this site will look - #222222 background, white text, lots of the blues, a hint of the earthen tones. New graphics coming, too, which will also stick to this palette. I'm also not going to go as "box-happy" with the CSS divs. I've been so delayed on this because after we finished moving, I had to catch up on work. I'm at a point now where I can start paying attention to this project again. So, your thoughts?

All Settled in the New Igloo
2009-06-03 23:58:00 The move's complete, we're almost unpacked, and my office is set up enough to rejoin the online world and hang the 'open' sign! :) And was this move worth it? Here's a photo of the view out our front window: There's nothing across the street from us but woods! That's several square miles of the Iowa Greenbelt right there, with a lazy curve of the Des Moines River beyond that, and then yet more woods. We see deer wander around every now and then, and I'm sure more wildlife sighting is in store. The bulldozers in the foreground are building a scenic bike trail, which is all the development the area's going to get. So, yes, it was worth it. Just perfect for us cantankerous, grouchy hermit types who want to retreat from the rest of you noisy people so we can contemplate our masterpieces. Bonus Buck: My karma twin, Eric at Binary World, also moved. I swear we don't plan to do everything at the same time, we just have matched biorhythms or something. Anyway, he has an int...
"Doomed to Obscurity" - Caught up until June 5
2009-05-27 14:29:00 http://penguinpetes.com/Doomed_-to_Obscurity/index.php Today and today only, you get six strips for the price of one! I'm posting them all in advance so I can take time off to move at leisure without missing my webcomic schedule. And to all of you out there who are my steady clients, hang in there! We're almost through this! I have no idea what else to do for the blog, so to tie you over, here's a picture of a fish: Talk to the fish. He's your friend until I get back online.
Penguin Pete's Could Use a Renaissance, Too
2009-05-24 03:13:00 This is the other half of the thought from a post a while back, "America Needs a Renaissance". Buck up, this will be good news. I believe that every few years, you have to reinvent yourself. It's how you stay fresh. So up until now, this site, and the blog in particular, have been mostly high purpose and serious business. Doing my best to explain technology to the world, cheering the good guys, booing the bad guys, helping the newbies, and so on. But my interests have turned. I'm not kidding that the United States is in a dark age that it isn't going to pull out of any time soon. There is no proof I can link to, because any proof would be too trivial. Look at the past 20 years of Western history. All of it, every minute. You think one progressive president's going to change this? Puh-leeze! I've talked about it enough. That's it, I've had it. I've preached enough sermons; they're all there in the archive. Help yourself whenever you want. You'll either be one of the f...
Mircroblogging: Twitter As the New Frontier of Blogging
2009-05-21 18:41:00 Twitter is steadily becoming more and more popular, especially with bloggers. If you haven’t explored Twitter yet, you’re missing out on the microblogging revolution. Blogging is great, but particularly with biblioblogging, posts can tend to be lengthy and updating one’s blog can be time-consuming. Microblogging, however, provides a much simpler alternative to blogging. Sites like Twitter, ...
Site News: Weekend Coverage
2009-05-20 20:23:00 Normally on the weekends, you’ve come to expect certain things here at TryGol.com. Lately I have provided “Expanded Coverage” of Fulham games & “Twittercast” coverage of Chicago Fire & USA Rugby matches. This weekend will be a bit different though. There is a chance I may have to actually work this Saturday…a rarity for me. So, there will be no Fulham expanded coverage per say. I’ll have some sort of post up Friday but the on going coverage that I normally provide will not happen this week. Sucky I know, but its better you know now rather than me canceling the shit at the last moment. However… I will provide live Twittercast coverage of Fulham vs Everton, provided that I don’t have to work Sunday, which at this point looks to be the case. The match won’t air live in the United States (8pm delay on Setanta Sports) but you can follow our Twittercast live. If you are unable to find an illegal stream or you have iss...

I Finally Joined Twitter
2009-05-18 22:14:00 http://twitter.com/Penguin_Pete- Alright, I can tell a must-do trend when I see one. I resisted being assimilated into the Twitterati as long as I could. But I at last have a Twitter account. You see, kids? Grampaw ain't so out-of-it after all! So I'll be tweeting whenever I post updates to this blog, the webcomic, Delicious bookmarks, Ezine articles, and work-related purposes when necessary. Keywords: necessary. I'm not going to live on the thing like some people do. I practically live on the web at large already... What finally sold me, the very last bit of convincing I needed, was this post on Twittering from the command line. Yep, a one-liner in Curl'll do 'er! Hey, if you can CLI Twitter, then you can Bash it and hack it and script it and automate it... anything hackable, I'm there. Meh, it'll also help when we move. Which reminds me... Official early notice: The Penguin household will be moving to a new house by the end of May/ beginning of June! Still in Des Moin...

Showing My face In A Few New Places
2009-04-14 23:26:00 Where the whiskey drowns, and the beer chases, my blues away... Oh, hi there. Anyway, I've branched out to a few new sites, the better to spread my tendrils of influence across the web. These will be a supplement to my own site. In the first place, I've made an account on Yahoo Answers. Can't exactly link to it right now, because Yahoo's doing something there where it's all caddywumpus, but then that's pretty much Yahoo all the time. I figure that a lot of my blog's post archive answers some questions that people ask over and over again, so I might as well pounce on a question there if I can help. I'm also now an Ezine Articles expert writer, a title not nearly as lofty as it sounds. From time to time I'll be dumping an article over there. The purpose of the site is to provide stock articles for e-zines and other use, and anyone can use them as long as the block at the bottom is included (which you can have link back to your own site, soapbox for your cause, etc.). It's...
A Look Back at the Third Year of Penguin Pete's
2009-03-15 16:47:00 Goodness! Another year already? Didn't I just do this? Apparently so, which means that time's flying faster and faster, while I get farther and farther behind. Anybody else out there notice that? The Internet keeps us so busy, we can barely grab a day as it flies by. This past year has been marked by two attributes that I've noticed: (a) More delay. These days, I'm lucky if I get to post once a week. (b) Hyperthyroid post growth. When I do post, I've tended towards big, multi-part meaty stuff. This could be a sign that my muse wants to outgrow blogging and publish books. But with the economy the way it's been, I'm going to be forced to lay my muse off anyway, so it's all good. Oh, well, here's this year's report card: I kicked off my third year by bewildering everyone with a five-part tutorial on using Image Magick to generate banners. See what I mean? Why would anyone want to do this? Nobody would, but the whole thing is supposed make you go "Cool, I didn't know you...

Doomed to Obscurity: Now With RSS Feed
2009-01-23 15:59:00 Those of you who were clamoring for an RSS feed for "Doomed to Obscurity" now have one. This is the RSS feed link I hope I did this right, because this is my first time making an RSS from scratch. Normally I just leave it to the content-publishing software (e.g. blogs or galleries), but this time I'm micromanaging. So, the feed is RSS 2.0, and it checks out OK with the feed validator. If any of you would be so kind as to test it out, and let me know if it works or if there's problems with it, I'll be very appreciative. If there's no problems with it, I'll make it link from the main page. Right now, I'm doing it by hand and uploading it with each post. I'll get it scripted later. I'm still figuring out the Atom version.

"Doomed to Obscurity" - New Web Comic Launched
2009-01-01 19:51:00 http://www.penguinpetes.com/Doo-med_to_Obscurity/index.php For a New Year's Day surprise, I'm finally launching the webcomic I've always wanted to do. It's called Doomed to Obscurity and if you give it time, it'll grow on you. Strip #1 is up today; subsequent strips will be published every odd-numbered calendar day. That's the rule. Holidays? Yes, holidays too. Does this mean when the month ends on the 31st, you get another strip the next day on the 1st? Yes it does. Friday the 13th too? Yes Leap Day too? Not that it applies this year, but yes. Why such an unusual rule? Because nobody else does it. I like it quirky. And it's a good compromise between easy enough that I don't miss a deadline, and regular enough to keep readers. As hinted by today's date, this is a New Year's resolution. I will be keeping up the posting schedule all 186 odd-numbered days this year. I already have a buffer of strips drawn in advance, so I'm already ahead. I have a whole cast pre-drawn. I ...

I Have Never Been This Shocked
2008-11-05 06:14:00 I still can't quite let myself believe that Barack Obama won. Isn't this the part where they pull some recount monkey business out of their hat? But McCain conceded! He wouldn't do that if he was planning to steal the race, would he? Well, my theory is that I'm in a coma and I'm dreaming all this. So, while I'm in this coma, I guess it doesn't hurt too much to offer my own little concession. By the way, thank you, black Americans! You saved our cracker asses. We didn't deserve that. My concession is that I have been too cynical before. I had given up on my country. I had seen too many former friends in the past eight years turn to enemies because they suddenly came out Red (as in Red State) and I would not be a party to their terror-mongering. I had seen too much civilization rot back to savagery. I had seen too much racism. I had seen too much enlightenment torn down by too much ignorance. I figured the USA was never going to wise up. And that does happen to countries a...

Pumping Some More 1600x1200 Wallpapers to the Gallery
2008-09-30 17:35:00 Yep, more 1600x1200 wallpapers. Get 'em here. I miss the days when I could just mindlessly slap something together. These days, every project I do has to be this boundary-pushing exploration into new territory, whether it's blogging, graphics, or Flash. It's the kind of period where I'm just determined that it's better to do nothing at all than to do something I've done before. So this batch of wallpapers shows lots of experimentation. There's cellular automata... Typography... And this sketch-looking one... This last (full-size here) was rendered with POVRay making 3D objects with black-and-white striped textures and some reflection, then running Gimp filters on it of the sort you would use to turn a photo into a sketch, including some warping so the lines aren't so straight. I don't know what kind of wallpaper it makes, but it is definitely my most successful attempt at creating 3D art with the effect of a hand-drawn sketch. As always, CC-licensed, share '...

Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if anybody else has noticed this and what does it mean. Is this an SEO study, or is it really how MSN indexes the web?
