There's a lot on this website: a blog about road trips, six free music albums, art, a comic strip, a directory of awesome links, and a mini-blog. I restarted the site out of sheer bordom in 2020. I pulled together some of my favorite internet stuff from the 1990s on. I hope someone enjoys it as much as I do.

Mini "Link Blog"

A link blog in the year 2022? Sure, why not.

• The past few years I've been obsessed with DEVO. Now I'm obsessed with Van Halen (Roth era). Not sure how long it will last. And by obsessed I mean "watch videos on YouTube about Eddie Van Halen's guitar and amp modifications". For starters, check out Dweezil Zappa's Running with the Dweezil Podcast (1/25).
• Prince started doing jumps because he was jealous of David Lee Roth (1/25).
• Eddie Van Halen got his stripped guitar idea from the punk band Dils (1/25).
• Set your TV to Filmaker Mode, for the best picture. Or Movie mode. If you still have a TV. (1/25)
• How to turn steel black. (1/25)
• Orangutan drives golf cart while listening to Phil Collins. (1/25)
• Zine Idea Generator. Zines where like Blogs made of paper. (1/25)
• Circle of Fifths. Music theory. (1/25)
• Book cover art generator. It uses AI. (1/25)
• The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise. A rare DEVO clip from 1975. (1/25)
• The Devil’s in the details. Ben Franklin's to blame for the Jersey Devil? (1/25)
• Visit the Mini-Blog archive for links from 2019-21.
