God Awful Things

True believers, I’ve got some news for those of you whom don’t know me (all 2 of you).  In my flowery youth, I fancied myself a bit of a minstrel of love.  And so I would record songs (of varying quality, both lyrically, musically, and recording). See, when I was in High School (oh to [...]

God have I forgotten what a huge pain this is.  I registered this domain back on October 15 1998, and I’ve had 3 hosting services in that time, all terrible.  Now, there is nothing particularly terrible about my host right now (olm.net if you’re wondering) except for their billing, [...]

I probably started shaving in about 1994, maybe 1993.. I would have been 16 or 17.  Tried growing a goatee, it’s a rite of passage in rural Iowa that one must grow some gross facial hair as soon as the peach fuzz begins to change it’s color like the leaves in autumn. Next, I worked [...]

Since I am too busy at work now.. How busy you ask? That busy. And so I haven’t had a chance to post this whole piece on quantum tunneling.. but I can post a couple pictures!
