Tom Campbell's web site

Tom Campbell's Web Site is...SMALLER THAN LIFE!

With all the hype, you'd think the World Wide Web was larger than life.

This is a gentle reminder that this little screen you're looking at is just part of the picture.

My name is Tom Campbell, and I hope you'll enjoy my window on the world. Here's a little of what you'll find here:

How I Became a Technical Writer	Stop Writing Correct and Start Writing Good! - How to succeed in business by "dumbing down" your writing.
Is Your Toga Grounded? - An unusual story about the hazards of Latin.	You Want Ch'i With That? - My take on the Feng Shui fad.
Joe Williams - An Appreciation - A personal memory of one of the all-time great jazz vocalists.	A Blinding Flash of the Oblivious - Memory loss and you.
See another side of an unusual place: Cumberland Island at Midnight.	An account of my trip to the county dump.
A list of my writings and samples. I'm a writer and editor with 20 years of experience.	Surreal Essay Generator, a ridiculous but addictive waste of time.
A tribute to Virginia Igou, my great-aunt, who lived to be 100.	The recipe for the world's most mouth-watering cornbread—my mother's—can be yours.
If you like jazz music, you might want to read about the group I play with, The Owls.

This is, to borrow a phrase from the composer & electronic music whiz Wendy Carlos, a living page. Having a web site is sort of like having a yard. You can tinker with it endlessly, and you're always trying to grow something new to make it more interesting. (Isn't that more appealing than an "Under construction" logo?)

Be sure to come back once in a while to check out this site, because I'll be planting and pruning pretty often!

"It's as large as life, and twice as natural!"
—Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking-Glass
