I like Flash, but I can't wait until Scalable Vector Graphics becomes widespread. Based on XML, and with an official W3C sanction, this is what a lot of web designers have been waiting for. Goodbye PDF, animated GIFs, Shockwave/Flash, bitmapped text ... get the plugin, fire up Illustrator and hit the SVG. Native rendering within the next generation of browsers is in the works.

Here's some references to me on the Web, from University of Louisville, National University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and my favorite, a review of my first hypertext story - Voices In My Head, which I wrote at 17 - from University of Calgary:

[It is] "a work that combines a linear autobiographical story line with poetic intersections that drive the reader deep into Pena's psyche. The multi-layers of the Web allow Pena to maximize the strengths of several diverse stylistic approaches and forge them into a successful tale."

Just came back from my 5th Andover reunion, and it was much more fun than I thought it would be ... I saw a damn lot of people I haven't seen in ages, but now realize I want to see. Feel free to drop me a line (e-mail), y'all.

Apparently, several hypertext and cyberspace classes are referencing my work at universities like Brown, Kentucky and Indiana. Particularly popular is Meditations On First Cybersophy. And in upper-level classes, no less. Aw yeah.

Mozilla really keeps you honest as a web designer and developer. I love it to pieces; get the latest nightly build here. I've been reading Dynamic HTML: A Primer, Webmonkey, and playing around with CSS and dHTML. I'm excited to see web development become object oriented, since I first cut my teeth at programming with Java.

But, really, I'm NOT a coder, nor do I pretend to be one. I just want to know how to use and bend the tools to my artistic desires. And hack Linux. ;)
