Welcome to Lava Lamp Central. This is, yes indeed, a personal web site. This is updated...once in a blue moon, depending on how I feel and how my hands are doing. (Tendonitis is eeeevil.)

Why Lava Lamp Central?

Ages and ages ago, when I was but young and impressionable and still in High School, my best friend, Natalie, got on a lava lamp kick, and dragged me onto it as well. It didn't take much, really. We made up this entirely little weird group based on lava lamps. She gave me a lava lamp for graduation. It was fun. It was cool. It was silly.

I like being silly. Lava lamps have remained important in my life since then. And so the choice of name was obvious for my home page.

Behold the power of Lava.

About Me

I'm still looking for ways to surprise myself. I miss being in college and seminary, not for the school, but for the intelligent conversations about things when people actually knew about the subject at hand. I collect action figures, S/F artwork, comic books, dragons, and stuffed animals. I sleep with a stuffed shoggoth as my pillow. I like being given flowers because then I can kill them. I love polka-dots. And paisley. And on occaision, I wear them at the same time. I believe in being Devil's Advocate and cheerfully defend points of view I don't hold just to keep a conversation going. I love philosophy and theology and theater, not necessarily in that order. Metal is my music of choice, I never wear crosses, and Winter is my favorite season.
