introduction

First, the usual warnings, this page is mainly an experiment on my part and a learning experience for me, so it will probably change fairly often without notice. If I have a site on here that you really like, be sure to add it to your bookmark file as I will not guarantee that everything that shows up here will stay forever, some will and some won't.

This page consists largely of pointers to sites that I find interesting, amusing, or both. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. If you encounter any problems, feel free to drop me a note. Now on to the good stuff!
