Might get a couple of these made up. I get a giggle out of it.

Resistance: Fall of Man Contest Entry
Authored September 2006
To promote the (then) unreleased Playstation 3 game “Resistance: The Fall of Man” a short fiction contest was run. The instructions were simply to create a “War Journal” with the alternate history (a 1950’s war between British and American forces and an alien horde) of the game as a backdrop.

A Solution to the US Financial Crisis
Authored December 2002
This was the only thing that I’ve ever written (originally posted to House of Fusion) that I ended up getting back (with my name removed) as spam – it even ended up on The Register (who nicely gave me credit after I informed them). Is that something to be proud of?

Catalog of Farscape Deaths
Authored August 2001
Farscape was one of the best television shows ever… but damn, its characters did seem to die a lot (but only rarely permanently). This was my attempt to catalog all of the times that we saw them die. This includes dreams, alternate realities, unrealized timelines, hallucination, clones and any other tropes that may have popped up.

End of an Era, Start of Something New
DepressedPress.com has existed for more than 15 years on dedicated hardware. Back in my heyday it was completely worth it: I was making excellent side-money consulting, there were technologies and problems normal people could still address and the web still seemed like a relatively small place. But as time wore on andthe bubble burst and I moved away from development professionally I was tending to it less and less.
Having kids, buying a house, changing careers meant less time and inclination to dig into the code. When I finally realized that I hadn’t made any significant new contributions to the site in almost four years I decided it was time to retire the cost of dedicated server. I balked at simply eliminating the site completely however so I’ve decided to, like many other, cobble together some of the many free services available and keep the stuff I’m still proud of available.
Free web hosting may not be the most versatile option – in fact it’s been a real pain in the ass – but it’s fast and friendly. Right now in my life I need fast and friendly. So the next months I will spend migrating content here and, I hope, adding new material as well.
