This page is in serious need of an update! Unfortunately, it's the victim of some slight link rot. I'll do better to keep it updated with new and interesting content.

So, here's some of what's here. More will come as I think of it...

To steal a title, (thanks Dannion Brinkley...) What's that fool thinking about this week? Check out my Livejournal page and see! (That is, if you really want to know...)

Stuff I've written

(It goes without saying that this is purely ego-stroking...LOL)

• My Guide Dogs Training Journal with Karl, now happily retired. One of these days, I'll put Chet's journal up, too.
• How I Spent the First Half of January, 2002
• A Trip Through the Twilight Zone, or Strange Travels in Louisiana
• The Day I've Been Secretly Dreading: Retiring Karl
• The journey continues: my Seeing Eye training journal will be coming as soon as I get off my fat lazy ass and post it.

Ham Radio Stuff

I'm an active (well, somewhat active, anyway) ham radio operator. What's that, you ask? Aren't those those weird guys that talk to aliens? (I mean, that's sorta the premise behind ALF, right?) Umm...well...not exactly. ... Find out what it's all about.

I'm a proud member of the American Radio Relay League and of the Flying Pigs QRP Club. (Don't ask me why we're flying pigs, but it's a fun group anyway.) You might also find QRZ.com interesting...I know I do. And AC6V's site has pert near anything you'd ever want to know on ham radio!

The death of the International morse Code has been greatly exaggerated. It's alive and well, and there are many hams who still enjoy it (including this one). To see some of the ways that we're enjoying the code, you might check out the North American QRP CW Club and the National Radio Emergency Network.

OTR, Pulp fiction, and other stuff like that

I sometimes wonder if I wasn't born in the wrong time? I mean...old vacuum tube technology...old radio broadcasts...that era just fascinates me.

Here's a list of stuff that might be interesting. If you love OTR (old-time radio) or even if you've never heard of it...why not have a look?

• The Cobalt Club...Used to have episodes of The Shadow for download, but now has discussion boards instead.
• Shoutcast Index...not all OTR, but there's a fair bit of it in there...
• The Shadow Magazine--most of the original stories published from 1930-1949 about the Shadow. No, this is a somewhat different character than the fellow on the radio. He has more agents, more guns, more thrilling action and adventure!
• Black Mask Online is the home of lots of Ebooks, including quite a bit of fairly obscure stuff. Nice pulp section! Books available in many formats.
• The Steel Hammer...OK, so it's not classic, but it's good :)
• The Home Page of Mark and Karen Eidemiller...look toward the bottom for the new Doc Savage adventures. The 1930's pulp hero is transplanted into modern times and has some what one might call life-changing experiences...While generally don't go for this sort of blatantly religious sort of thing, this one's not only tastefully done, but is consistent and not overtly preachy (at least, not any more than one might get with a traveling evangelist).

You have more interesting OTR/pulp links you like? let me know and I'll check em out. :)
