typographical mysteries: the tailpiece symbol
after a good deal of searching, i've finally learned what the typographical term is for the mark indicating the end of a page. it's called a tailpiece and it's commonly used in magazines to mark the end of an article.
tail·piece n. : an engraving or a design placed as an ornament at the end of a chapter or at the bottom of a page.
the sagittal symbol that i'm using is the same as the parahuman website icon (or "favicon") that i've been using for a while. it looks much like the astrological symbol for Sagittarius, but it's actually one of the alchemical symbols for iron.

- if you use instant messaging, you can sign up to automatically receive an IM when new journal entries become available. this service, provided by immedi.at, supports AIM/ICQ, MSN, Yahoo and Jabber.
- subscriptions are also available as "feeds" in both Atom and RSS (Rich Site Summary) formats. if you use a subscription service or an "aggregator" (a news reader on your computer), you can easily add parahuman to your subscription list by selecting the icon of your service or aggregator at the Syndication Subscription Service.
- as far as i'm concerned, RSS could stand for Rather Sophisticated Stuff. if you're wondering what "feeds" or "aggregators" or what any of these other terms mean, both FeedBurner and the BBC News have good explanations that i recommend reading.
