I'm a blogdad!

I'd like you all to meet my young friend Lysander, author of the Double Helix weblog. Lysander's brand new to the blogosphere, drying off a bit and stretching his wings a little uncertainly. So far, he's written tributes to his heroes, poetry, spiritualism, music reviews, and frank sex advice, amongst other things. I thought enough of this young man that when he asked me how to set up a weblog, I decided to help him. Soon he'll have his own internet domain, but for a month or so, he'll be in orbit around Dean's World.

Be sure to check out his "skins" feature over on the left hand side, especially if you don't like dark backgrounds.

By the way, the lady who did the design of his web site, gratis, asked that I only mention her in passing. She has neither the time nor inclination to do web design work for hire. This is such a shame. Her design sensibility is both practical and elegant, and I'd kill to have her sense of color, balance, and restraint. If you're really interested in who this ineffably lovely designer is, you'll find her name hidden away somewhere on Lysander's page. But it's no use persuing her, she's already decided she's unavailable. Hearts all over the blogosphere are broken.
