Summary

Yet another page full of broken links, created back when I was using a variety of computers in public clusters and needed a travel set of bookmarks to help me plan my non-research diversions. I suppose that I also felt some compulsion to demonstrate an eclectic set of interests ranging from Prince Valiant to Harry Shearer's Le Show. I'll try to update this page when I find some guilt-free time to look at it in more depth.

And why isn't there any Daily Show link below? Back in the late 90s, when I first put this page together, "radio on the web" was a pretty cool new innovation, but we'd have to walk two miles in knee-deep snow to find the bandwidth for the few video streams available. And we didn't complain about it, I'll let you know.

New -- Art Cars On Ice III Preview Video! (QT, 3.4 MBytes) I went out with a bunch of Minnesota Art Car artists for a drive across frozen Medicine Lake this February. Ruthann Godollei is creating a longer DVD which archives the experience.
