Crania 2.0

Crania has been resurrected.

I remember the excitement in our household when we learned that Crania had been selected, back in 1996, as a daily pick by then-dominant search engine,  Yahoo, as one of the best of the then-emerging Internet (back when it was capitalized).

Crania was the — brainchild, sorry — of brother Dennis and was one of the early literary and poetry “magazine” sites on the nascent World Wide Web. (By the end of 1996, there were less than 300,000 websites — up from 1 in 1991, following the Web’s invention in 1989; now there are about 1.7 billion.) Long dormant, you can now see its new incarnation at crania.com, and get some background here.  Leave Dennis a comment there to let him know what you think.

P.S. Crania is the product of the same Dennis whose daily poetry was featured here on WhileBusy for several months, and is still accessible, of course.

The Infamous Shadow-Daddy Family Self-Portrait (November 1997)

The photographer sets up a shot, Morgan Lake and Mt. Emily in the background, other family members in the foreground, only to step back into the composition without realizing that a shadow will be cast on the position he will occupy.  Self-timed with an early low-res point ‘n’ shoot.  Rediscovered today after being ignored, yet preserved, for over twenty years.
