Top design: Age of Aces Books and website


"For the best in pulp aviation & more."

That's what the website says, right at the top, but the 'more' is definitely the Kalb Bros... designers par excellence.

Chris Kalb came to my attention many years ago with his lovely Doc Savage website The 86th Floor. He's a great designer that has a love of all things pulp and you can tell. And because he's a truly talented art director that knows his stuff, each of his websites show crisp, clean design solutions, easy navigation and lots of content features and extras that make you want to stay and have a good look around. The Age of Aces site is his latest effort with his brother, David, and editor Bill Mann. It's no exception to the Kalb's high standards. I love visiting site's like this. A real pleasure. Tight.

The imprint's publications are also impeccably designed by the Kalbs, making for a unified 'brand' and a very easy on the eye reading experience. Check 'em out!

Well done, boys!

Octopussy... cute as a kitten.


This cute little creature was all that my stepson Jarod caught today. We of course released it back into the wild, but not before I shot it!

Double rainbow. Port Huon.

What does it mean?


Seriously, this was a lovely rainbow reflected in the Huon River this morning. Stunning light this time of year.

From my driveway...

Walked out to check the mail and I had to take a pic of the mount over the river. The mist is just starting to lift.

Woody says: "Rack off!"

This is Woody, the cranky ol' nag. He's old and grumpy, but we love him anyways. I'm sure he's part mule, part mongolian mountain pony.
