Welcome. I'm not big on talking about myself, but this page has been here a while, and grown over time despite myself. So here's what I've got:

I like to travel abroad, and when I can, write up a travelogue of my journeys. I've got one from my trip to Japan in October 2001, and one from my trip to the United Kingdom in May 2003.

Thanks to the help of my brother, I've also managed to catalogue my mini-bottle (nip bottle) collection. I've been collecting off and on for about 20 years, always slowing down when I run low on storage space for 'em. But I have a little room, now, so it's growing once again.

In other good news, I finally got around to putting up the complete guide to the Glahefriends' Drinking Jenga game.

Oh, and here's something for satisfying a bit of idle curiosity about me... a complete listing of my music collection, by genre, in PDF format.

Something I should've put up here a while ago is a list of famous quotations I like. They all resonate with me in one way or another.

For something a little more entertaining, check out the site for one of my favorite comic strips:

I thought I'd throw in a few links to sites I find interesting, just in case the comics aren't enough for you...
BoardGameGeek.com
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (text adventure)
Settlers of Catan (boardgame in Java)
Rotten Tomatoes (Movie Reviews)
Joe Cartoon - Brutally Pointless Animations
...and Judson Laipply's "Evolution of Dance", 6 of the most entertaining minutes on the Web!

As a final parting thought... I always like being easy to buy gifts for! My wish lists are on Amazon.com and BoardGameGeek.com:
