Xaagma Press has released its first print publication, a book of poetry by Ken Robinson called I Would Not Send My Bags to Neptune. This is a selection of 40 poems written between the mid-1980s and up to the present day. The following description appears at the Xaagma Products Cafepress.com site:
Ken Robinson, the famous creator of the Superluminal Pachyderm project, has written a book of poetry. It's a conjunction-timed reality tidal wave of bubbles and envelope fragments, specially designed to make your nose bobble and ionize the atmosphere. Today we know that poets arrive like a selection from a relational database, only to find that we have stamps and bowling balls. Include your detergent and take tours of your washing machine and gently investigate the security issues with frozen methane and assertive pterodactyls. You will know the meaning of the phrase "I can eat my vowels with the best intentions." Ken Robinson is an ear. He's a vacation waiting to happen. He's a cement truck with a glass mixer filled with TV dinners. Ken Robinson is the smell of the past and the hamper of trash bags. You will be delighted or seriously annoyed.
Cost: $12.00 + shipping

After much thought, I removed the drop-down menu system that was located on the horizontal navigation bar above. It has been replaced with a "Home" link. Some pages have multiple "Home" links within this domain. I decided to remove them to prevent the hassle of always changing and rewriting the CSS files everytime a new version of a browser comes out. The pages of this site actually look pretty nice in IE7. I must say, Microsoft did a good job of enhancing IE's display capabilities even though their support for CSS standards is still lacking in some respects. However, I still recommend using Mozilla Firefox for security reasons. I have no comment on Netscape at this time as I do not have it installed. I also have no comments on browsers for Macs because I don't have a Mac.

It has come to my attention that the menu system on the horizontal navigation bar above does not work in Internet Explorer 7. I will look into fixing that in the future. It should work for IE6 as it was tested on that. From reading information on other CSS sites, Microsoft continues to fail to implement CSS standards. Because of this and the never-ending security fixes, I would recommend using the Firefox browser (that is until Firefox becomes big and the hackers pile up on it). I'm still going to look into fixing the menu system for IE7.
On other news, Superluminal Pachyderm has started recording material for the Unsalted Pants album.

For about three months, Superluminal Pachyderm CDs were unavailable due to a serious bug at Cafepress.com that prevented images from displaying. Due to uncertainties about the availability of the CDs in their correct form, the Buy CDs pages at Xaagma Music and the official home page of the Superluminal Pachyderm were disabled. The bug appears to have been fixed, thus the Buy CDs pages have been restored.

If you have checked this site periodically over the last three months, you may have noticed that many pages remain under construction. I've been quite busy (e.g. sleeping, digesting, watching TV), so nothing has happened. I hope to alleviate that over the upcoming holiday season. I'm sure it doesn't matter, as most of this site has yet to be indexed by Google (that's why you should seriously consider using Yahoo, which I might add HAS indexed the whole site). Enjoy your visit and don't forget to wave.

Welcome to Xaagma.com. A lot of the pages on this site are under construction. Updates will be posted as time permits. A hamper in the living room is not as uncommon as one might think. I would rather not put clothes in one, but it looks like a great place to put pencils.
