Now there's another fascinating and surreal way to waste time: Go to Google and search on the string "[your first name] is" (include the quotes; substitute your actual first name for the bracketed phrase).

Another great search request! Someone came to my Music Listening page with a search on effect of music listening in restaurants.

I dunno, what do you think the effect is? It can't be good. And whatever it is I say about it, Netscape doesn't want you to know it anymore--my site didn't turn up when I tried that URL. Music listening in restaurants? I think it's a scourge.

Cool! A look at my logs shows that my Music Production page is the fifth result in the search for petroleum byproducts!

This is even better than my Music Listening Archive turning up in a search for list of actresses who had fender benders--just what was this guy (it had to be a guy) looking for? Is this like a minor-league version of Crash or something?

While I'm unsure exactly why I was singled out for this particular honor, someone calling themselves The Mission Statement is linking to me as a "Techno Geek." Well, okay. I have been letting my geek flag fly lately, I guess.

Well whaddya know. Here's a link to me. Thanks, Mike! It looks like he's still working on his site at the moment, but it's still a nice list of links to be in.

A page devoted to one of my favorite typographic characters, the Interrobang.
