I run a mailing list of humorus, interesting, or provacative stuff that I come accross, check it out (and subscribe if desired) here.

While I'm a huge fan of Apple technology, I'm also a big user of BSD and Linux-this started with a LinuxPPC server, running Apache and Perl, for reporting purposes when I worked at Apple. While the User Interface is completely polar from the simple elegant MacOS, Unix does have a place in the world as a serious server OS. In fact, I would argue the underlying structure in Unix is as predictable as Mac OS-you simply need to understand the way it works. I don't want to use it for checking email and keeping track of my bills, but for a highly scalable server, it's the only way to go. No matter what kind of marketing garbage Microsoft is spouting this week. As a unix fan, I'm also enamored with the concept of Open Source Software. Unfamiliar with this? Check out The Cathedral and the Bazaar, for a fascinating article about the realities of the Open Source software model.

Ok, got the advertising out of the way. On with the show. Feel free to use the navigational bar below to skip to the various areas of my web space.

I have a love affair with Air Cooled Volkswagens. The Volkswagen Stuff section contains links to various and sundry VW sites on the net, along with pictures from my drive to the Arctic Ocean. Got your interest? Go look at the pages and pictures, enjoy...

Before I became a computer geek, I was an Opera Major (Tenor) in college. The Musical Influences section is devoted to that former life.

And of course, we have links. That catch all page for cool stuff that just doesn't fit anywhere else.

Lastly, for posterity's sake, my original web page. Created mostly in SimpleText, back in the days when making html documents required figuring out html tags. Yes, I'm one of those 'net old timers, talking about how much harder it was back in the old days. ;-)
