It seems extremely strange to me that people should obtain
information about me without my knowing when it happens. Nonetheless, in
what follows, I will summarize the information about myself that I don't
mind giving out. If you read through some of this then send me an email message
saying something as simple as, "I saw your page, and here is the address
of my home page." (Turnabout is fair play, right?) |
If I had any free time I would be interested in artand astronomy. I would
take more photographs and learn how to develop them. You can see some
of my photos of my
trip to Africa here. I might even get a chance to keep up with a sports
team, like the New York Giants . (Note:
Images take you to different web sites from those in the text.) |

My favorite American League team has been the Yankees
for a long time. The New York
Rangers have also long been my favorite hockey team. |

I love cartoons. I guess I'm an overgrown kid or something,
but I still love Dr.
Seuss. Also, as twisted as it is, I am strangely amused by Ren and Stimpy
. But, hey, if you ever watch the Animaniacs
then you know how sophisticated cartoon humor can be. Face it, these jokes
are for adults, because no kid gets them. Another thing supposedly for kids
that rules is Bill Nye the Science Guy
. |

I am especially nuts about music. I love The Housemartins , a British
band. When they broke up the members went different ways, and one of the
results was The Beautiful South.
(Another is Fat Boy Slim!) The Beautiful South are still recording and I've
seen them in concert once. I'm also fanatical about The Pogues. Their former
lead singer Shane MacGowan now has his own band,Shane MacGowan
and The Popes . After his departure, The Pogues put out two
more albums, but I hear that now they have called it quits. I also like an
even less known Scottish band called The Silencers. They put out three or
so albums and I don't know what has happened since. I also really enjoy a
band from my former college town called Pain. Go to Pain's web
page and order their albums or you will regret it (perhaps without even knowing
it) for the rest of your life! Lately I've gotten into Cuban music. Check
out Buena Vista Social Club and Afro-Cuban All Stars to get warmed up.
I also really like Tori Amos , The
Beastie Boys,
Cake, Tracy Chapman,
The Cowboy Junkies, Enya , The Violent Femmes and more! |

College football is the official religion of the state of
Alabama. It is possible for anyone, anywhere to listen to broadcasts of Alabama football
games via the internet by using free
Real Audio software . It's really pretty cool to be able to get live radio
broadcasts via the web. Check out www.audionet.com
for live radio broadcasts of all sorts of things. |
My favorite news is new Science and Technologystuff, and now there
are a lot of good internet sources for news. I get daily news via e-mail
from InfoBeat. Also check out www.news.com and Reuters. I also like to try to keep
up with my Alma Mater, so the Internet version of the Crimson White is excellent, for
me anyway. |

Besides keeping up with the daily news there are a number of sites
worth checking out every day for something new. Try: The Cool Site of the Day , the Cool Word of the Day , A.Word.A.Day, the Quotes of the Day, and finally
Today in History.
So now that you've increased your vocabulary and knowledge of history,
you're ready for The Global Encyclopedia
. Which is the only free encyclopedia in the world. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations
may help you locate who said that thing you've always heard. And a Searchable
Roget's Thesaurus , a Searchable Webster's Dictionary
, and Strunk's Elements
of Style are always helpful.
Now to tickle your funny bone check out: The Automatic
Complaint-letter Generator You should try that twice! Then there is Paco's Funny Pages
which is mostly funny things people pass around net. Then this
is so funny you won't believe it really happened .
I have tried to give you plenty of interesting links, but if you
still haven't found what you're looking for, then search away with AltaVista, Lycos , or Google. And you've read all this way, and
I'll have you know, that very few people have ever actually sent me their
home page URL like I asked you to at the top of the page. Shame on you all.
