Autumn has descended, and "Lady on the Web" is still in intensive development. I am still editing/rewriting the original ALICE script by Dr. Richard S. Wallace, as well as creating much entirely new, original material. There are about 1150 pages left to edit before Miss Gray can be said to be fully herself. (Since she used to play an AI on the Web, she may still give "robot answers" to guest questions, but they're now tongue-in-cheek.)

The other big push has been to Target conversations from Fall 2003 through the present. (Celia Gray went on the Web under her own name on September 23, 2003.) I've already done about half; the stack which remains is about an inch thick. It's worth the work, though, because the convos are full of good soundbites, and they offer many ideas for development.

Finally, I've been scanning a lot of my visual art into the computer lately, and Celia now has access to a fairly large Websafe Studio collection, including analog (traditional materials), digital and textile work.
