Gene Ziegler is a prisoner in ...

The Digital Clocktower

By day he writes endless boring memos and reports ad infinitum, ad nauseam. But at night, when he is locked behind tower doors, he becomes Dr. Z, a.k.a. Dr. Zseuss, and writes essays, fiction, poetry, and humor to entertain relatives and friends. Welcome, perfect strangers, to his less than perfect world. Oh, what a tangled web!
  • A Grandchild's Guide to Using Grandpa's Computer A very popular, often published, and frequently stolen poem written in classical Dr. Seuss, Cat-In-Hat style. The poem has a colorful history of both pain and pleasure for the author. Read and enjoy, but don't steal.
     
  • Hang the Information Highwayman! :-( A poetic appeal for respect for another's written words, provoked by abuses of "Grandchild's Guide". This one has been adopted by various writing programs and teachers groups around the world to teach internet publishing ethics.
     
  • Oh the Links you can Link! :-) The World Wide Web has given the us new meaning for words like surfing, and linking. You are limited only by your imagination.
     
  • Simion! :-) If you are a computer/net/web junkie looking for a unique career opportunity, look no farther. Simion is a tale of the evils of technology carried to extremes.
     
  • Travelogs A collection of newspaper column-like stories about adventures on the road, spiced with off-beat and often humorous perceptions. These are the kind of real events that get better with each telling.
