This site has gotten large. It started, more than a decade ago, as a personal page attached to my publishing company's website. As a result, it still has some resume-ish elements here and there. To help you skip that stuff and get to something more interesting, here is a list of recommended pages to visit:
1.
Tom's Book of Days
Over the years I probably have spent the most time on Tom's
Book of Days. I think the result is cut above the average "this
day in history" offering.
2.
Maya
World
If you are interested in Mesoamerica this guide
to the world of the Maya might have something for you.
3.
What's New
Babies beguile. This will link you to some of the
adorable new arrivals at rightreading. You might also check out
the blog.
4.
A New Yi jing (I Ching)
Speaking of new stuff, you can cast
a hexagram here. A nice new divinatory rendering of the Chinese
classic of changes. Also, if you're interested in Chinese art and culture,
you might also be interested in Taoism
and the Art of China or Chinese Jade.
And, if you're visiting the Bay Area, I have photos
of the Asian Art Museum.
5.
Tom's Glossary of Book Publishing Terms
An inside look at the book
publishing industry. And more publishing stuff.
6.
Essays on Literary Topics
Essays on Lewis Carroll, Horace
Walpole, or the trickster, for example.
See my writing page for more.
7.
Photography
I have a new page on photography,
and there ae a lot more photos that can be reached through my travel
pages. A recent favorite is Bouquets
to Art.
8.
Grab Bag
Some fun stuff here. For
example, famous last words, for one.
9.
The Typehead Chronicles
I can't believe I almost forgot the
Typehead Chronicles, that font-astic font
of information on typography
and design!
10.
Random
There's plenty more. Use the navigation links
at left, consult the sitemap, do a
search. Or you might try a random page.

Thanks!
