"I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center."  — Kurt Vonnegut

was launched in 1996, and thanks to my insatiable appetite for learning new things it continues to evolve. My website is like a stage where I can share things that interest me, express some philosophy and opinions, put up family photos and information, provide links to interesting sites, and just simply to entertain. The performer in me enjoys having an audience, and knowing some people will get their initial (and possibly only) impression of me by visiting my website really motivates me keep it current and accurate. Generally speaking, the content of the site is what I consider interesting, amusing, stimulating, educational, technical, and hopefully non-offensive—and I try to verify that my links go to sites with the same standards.

As a programmer my original inspiration to create a website was to learn about Internet development on my own time, in an unscheduled environment, where I do all the design work and carry it out, answering only to my own standards. The various pages on the site are accessed by clicking on the buttons above. At the top of each page is a drop-down Site index menu providing direct access to the other pages, and across the top of each page is a menu of navigation links for the page on display. To speed up the loading of the pages on my website I have tried to minimize the size of graphics that will immediately appear, and I have provided small thumbnail images to click on to see enlargements of photos. For the most part, links found in text are displayed as this if they go to external webpages and displayed as this if they go to locations on my website. As I discover new web methods and as my passions for things change I will continue to make additions and modifications to the site.

Favicons for sites that have them are shown next to the links I put on my pages.

Enjoy your visit and come back soon.
