Have you ever looked up at the Moon when it appeared to be full, and wondered to yourself, “is the Moon full?”
I was wondering this myself the other day, and so I decided to create a web site to answer the question. In the process I learned a few interesting things about the Moon.

Published in 2004, this fun, fast-paced modern space opera is vast in scope. It tells the story of how a single human, Fassin Taak, begins to change an ancient balance of power between two galactic civilizations. The multi-billion-year-old galaxy-wide post-civilization of long-lived gas giant dwellers is rumored to own a secret vast network of wormholes, and the nearly galaxy-wide civilization of “quick” species (which includes humans) wants in on the secret. Seer Taak is a kind of emissary to (and explorer of) the Dwellers, and his mission is to find the key to their secret wormhole list in time to summon defenses for an impending invasion of his home world. His exciting adventure is filled with twists, turns, and interesting details about the Dweller world Nasqueron (where most of the action takes place).

However, this is a low-budget effort, so I only have one photo so far (of First Pick Games on Stoneway in Seattle). If you spot Matt in the photo, let us know!
Everybody knows the old children’s rhyme “step on a crack, break your mother’s back.”
I haven’t met anyone who didn’t play that game as a child. Some people with OCD are unfortunately even driven to play that game continuously. So where does this desire come from?
