strange radiation

Welcome to Strange Radiation, home of the personal ephemera of Andrew Willett. Specifically, it contains:

I live in New York City. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and moved here in 1993 to parlay an editorial stint at the now-defunct Eclipse Comics into a career as a comic-book editor. The industry promptly tanked, but I like it here, so I stayed. Ten years later, I am a freelance writer/editor/game developer/Mac IT consultant/web guy by day. By morning I am a dedicated US Masters swimmer. By evening I try to write stories but as often as not end up seduced by the BBC America. I have a niece named Avery and a nephew named Nathan who are destined to take over the world and make it a better place.

The graphic at left is an imitation bubble chamber image from a nuclear accelerator. The phrase "Strange Radiation" is cool and enigmatic and evocative and ties in to one or two things which will eventually be posted here, but I had no idea how tough it would be to visualize. Bubble chamber images are cool, and strange, and radiation-related...works for me.

Finally: this site makes extensive use of Cascading Style Sheets, because they're simple and elegant and it's the kind of geeky thing I like to do. You'll need the most current build of a CSS-compliant browser, such as Safari for Mac OS X (my personal favorite), Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Camino (my other favorite), or Opera, to be able to appreciate the site in all its glory.
