Seems like everyone has a home page. Ok, here's mine. I don't often update it, but you're welcome to take a look.

• When I do web stuff at home, most of my time goes into the Cincinnati Skeptics site, or the Shire wiki.
• Some personal info about me.
• I've written a simple little BBS program named DarkBoard. It's rude, crude, and probably better left unused, but I had fun writing it.
• I once wrote some science-oriented haiku.
• Prisoner of Bill....
• The planets were roughly aligned on May 5, 2000....
• I'm also interested in astronomy.
• Although I haven't paid much attention to using browser-safe colors on my personal pages, I am aware of them, and played a bit with some HTML to display them in a manner that I like better than what I've seen out on the net. I was too lazy to write all the HTML, though, so I wrote a little Perl script to do it, which was much more fun than repetitive HTML-coding.
  
• Some sand sculptures I made on vacation in 1997, 1998, and 1999, 2000
• I often hang around on the #shire channel when I'm on IRC.
• I often store some silly things in a temporary directory, and send the URL to friends. Mostly joke pictures. This is probably the most-changed part of my site, since it requires almost no effort. There may or may not be offensive things in there; you have been warned.
• Unfortunately, it seems my most lasting and pervasive contribution to net culture is a version of the voodoo dick joke.
• Some really ancient jokes I put up back in the mid-1990s. Some pretty vulgar stuff in spots. I haven't touched these for years...
• Other pictures of me
  • A few years ago (about 1992, I think)
  • September 1998, growing a beard
  • A typical pose
  • The beard is here (and I need a haircut)
  • Me at 4 years old. I think I've gone downhill in looks since then. (that green bottle in the background is Ale8)

Interesting. I just noticed (Jan 11, 2001) that I have almost the same expression, or lack of expression, on my face in the last two pictures, even though I'm about 30 years older and have a beard in one of the pics. I guess my attitudes to picture-taking haven't changed much since I was a kid.

All photographs on my pages were taken by me, and so are automatically copyrighted by me.
