Jim's new wonderful invention: Imagine having an entertainment center where you can say: "Stephen King's The Shining, and not the crappy Jack Nicholson version" and lo and behold, it serves you the movie, followed by a single-malt scotch and something for the missus. Here, the unit functions perfectly, serving the movie from a large stockpile of DVD's.
Hoooooga and Marina work to bake "Buttons and Bows" for Daddy and Linda. But mainly for themselves. :)
Jim W. Coleman with his close friends John and Ann Taylor at the Manette Saloon, celebrating a long-awaited accomplishment in Jim's life.
Good grief! Hoooooga has a new digital camera and is having too much fun with it! Here, she must be thinking of when Daddy said she couldn't date until she's 30!
Jim W. Coleman takes a break from a KAOS broadcast to entertain his guests at his Rocket Lane home. Today, the studio has expanded and the fun goes on...and on...and on...
Jim W. Coleman Jr.'s truck, parked in front of Jim-n-Linda's Lariat Drive home. Coleman Jr. traveled up from Phoenix to set up a vendor booth at the 2005 Home and Garden show at the Kitsap Pavilion.
Jim-n-Linda have a motorized, life-sized skeleton in the corner of their livingroom. For fun, they dress "Skelley" up depending on the season. This is how Skelley looked on Valentine's Day, 2006.
Jim-n-Linda's Russian Blue devil-cat, Church - in one of his many incarnations.
Two cords of hard, heavy,madrona firewood are delivered to Jim and Linda's Lariat Drive home during a windstorm where winds reached 60 mph and power was knocked out for two days. But still, life goes on and good, hard wood is a necessity in any winter storm. Jim commended the guy for his courage in driving through the storm to fulfill his obligation - it was a scary storm situation on the Kitsap peninsula.

Linda with Jack and Diane's unbelievably tiny little dog!

Linda's mom, Charlotte, at her wit's end with Winnie, the cat. Or was she just ignoring Jim and Stu?
Superblow Skelley with a Seasquawk on his head!
Lloyd Pritchett, web editor of the Kitsap Sun, doing his best to look hip. :)
Here, Grandpa Conrad Joseph Wolf's javalina (boar) head hangs in Jim W. Coleman's writing studio - dutifully adorned.
Hoooooga and her baby brother emulating a washed-up former rock star...
 Okay, okay, okay! I know you know that I know that you know that I am a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan. So why do I have Seasquawks face paint on? It was my modeling debut! For those who saw the picture in today's newspaper, here is an outtake. Actually, between the Steelers and the Seasquawks, I do hope our local team pulls it off, but I'll still be a Bills fan. Talk about someone who sympathizes with the underdog! But that gives me and all the Seasquawks fans something in common! So here's to you - thpppppppt! :) (It's only football. Get a life!)
Here, the world-famous Author Cam is being replaced. For the last half-year, it has run on an old P4, built by Jim W. Coleman from spare parts and duct-taped into the network. Now, there is a reshuffling of computers on the network and the Author Cam will live on - but not until the entire network is reconfigured. Jim lives and breathes this stuff, bits and bytes, ones and zeros. Wow, oh what a feeling!
My friend, SteveMark, told me about the website catsinsinks.com, so I should have been forewarned. When walking into my writing studio the other day, I had an inspiration: catsinbowls.com!!! But I'll leave that for someone else to do. Here, Church, our Russian Blue devil-cat, cozes up in a large Tupperware bowl.
I'm sometimes asked why I carry a digital camera with me EVERYWHERE I go. Now picture this - you are passing in front of a window just minding your own business and you look up to see a giant aircraft carrier going by RIGHT in front of you, and in living color. That's why. This is the mighty USS Stennis departing the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Sometimes, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. But if you don't have your camera with you...
Author and artist Jim W. Coleman poses at an Etta Projects event in Port Orchard, Washington. A balloon artist approached and said, "What, you too old to wear a balloon hat?" This was his answer.
