May 24, 2010 - A Picture I Would Rather Not Have Drawn
In one of my darker moods, I was inspired to create a picture in "honor" of the Deepwater Horizon explosion, oil spill, and environmental calamity in the Gulf of Mexico. It is linked on the Art index; look for it in "Other Pictures."
May 13, 2010 - Minor Updates Here and There
I have added a couple of pages to the Writing section: a somewhat humorous list of things that bother me and a political allegory that isn't funny at all. I've also gone back on what I said some time ago and fixed this site so that it works correctly with Internet Explorer in both new (8.0) and older versions. Finally, I've changed the "Hurricanes" section to a "Weather" section. The reason for this will become apparent at a later date.
February 18, 2010 - Changes in Galleries
I have completely revamped my Art and Tolkien pages, which were starting to seriously annoy me with their primitive and hackish means of navigation. I have used a script called Facebox for the reworked versions and I think it is much nicer. With this change, however, I have no choice but to say that JavaScript is definitely required to navigate this website. Additionally, I have removed some very old items from the Tolkien gallery which I do not think demonstrate the quality of artwork that I am capable of. Keeping a record of one's history is one thing, but publicly displaying eight-year-old scrawlings that make you yourself wince is quite another.
What Is This Website?
My name is Erin Thead, and this is my personal website and blog. I custom-built the main site—that is to say, the site that you are reading—and the WordPress theme for the blog, and I maintain them both independently. Some people think that is strange in this day and age, but I have found that I prefer it this way. It makes backups very straightforward, and I have full knowledge of the program code and markup used in the site, having written almost all of it.
The site contains mostly creative work that I have done relating to subjects that interest me, and the time frame for the work spans roughly a decade. The blog is primarily political (hence its name), but not exclusively.
