krpalmerToday I took a step I'd been thinking about and working towards for a long time, and revamped my home page. For all that it was black text on a white background before and now it's white text on a black background with a few added pictures, I feel just a little pleased with the accomplishment: not only did I code all of the HTML by hand, it checks out with the W3C HTML validator. The broken links are (hopefully) gone, and I added a section declaring my interest in Star Wars... and that may show just how long it takes me to goad myself to action. After lucking into one little blessed corner of Star Wars fandom, I started thinking about declaring my renewed and continued interest, in defiance against the world... but first I wanted Saga Journal to start up so I could help promote it, and now I'm writing for it. Then, Revenge of the Sith rolled around, and then the Vintage Editions showed up, and then there was the thirtieth anniversary, and all in all I feel quite a bit better about things than when I started thinking about it...
Back when I started thinking about it, too, I was contemplating throwing in a little comment about how "every so often, I'm still tempted towards the Dark Side" by linking to a site arguing how the Empire could easily beat up on Star Trek's Federation. The site's author seemed from the first to dislike Star Trek for its "treknobabble" more than he liked Star Wars, and I began suspecting after a while that he didn't really empathise with any of the Star Wars characters... and for that matter, he hasn't updated his site since 2004. At times, I worry that he was somehow offended by the space battle in Revenge of the Sith involving the ships firing point-blank broadsides at each other. That may be part of where my own theory that the "Star Warriors" are all making it up as they go came from.
