Weekly
Lunch N Stuff--I started inviting people to
O'Bagelo's
(165 State Street)
in January 1999 when I quit working across the street. Since then, I've expanded it from
a simple e-mail
to a list of everything I need to know about the goings-on in the week to come. Perhaps
you'll find something you need to know too.
Impromptu Poll--I added this poll
(on July 11, 2002)
because (among other things) it's free. I stopped updating the
poll archive but I guess I'll leave it there indefinitely frozen.
Results
Constantly
Home Cam--I've
got an
Apple
Power Macintosh
7100/80AV and a video camera, so here's my own Internet
camera. There's about a 25% chance you'll actually find
it updating images. I've usually got it pointed out
the window at my back yard. There's two different size
images and a QuickTime movie of the past hour.
Irregularly
Interesting Events--Interesting
events I've been to...at least to me.
CDNow Gift Registry--It's
not actually on this site, but even so, if you buy me things from
my gift registry, you'll have my undying feigned appreciation
and maybe even a mention and a link to your page. Then again,
maybe not.
Rarely
QuickTimeTM Movie of the JayceWeek--Just
for kicks (and considering the number of
QuickTimeTM movies I've got laying around, I
figured it'd be fun to put up a movie every week.
Since I won't be updating it exactly weekly, I'm using the JayceWeek unit, which
is about a week or a month. Check it once in a while--it's mostly
"original" stuff (i.e. stuff I've captured by me from TV and stuff).
It will almost always step on some copyright law, but I'll take my
chances along with every other miscreant on the web.
Page of Misfit Bands--Like
the "Land of Misfit Toys" in the Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer
television show, here is the "Page of Misfit Bands." For the most part
these are bands who did pretty good work but were largely unrecognized, then
faded into obscurity with only a few albums. While I'm on the topic,
CDnow
had an offer
where they'll give me store credit if people link to them from my site,
so if you want to buy stuff, go to
CDnow
through the link below. I've
also put links to the various artists in the
"Page of Misfit Bands"
to the associated
CDnow
page.
Drinking Games--Maybe
not much for "value added," but I wrote a few drinking games
over the years and put them here. Drink responsibly, and try not to die or give yourself
brain damage or anything. Most of all, it's you're choice not to drink,
so don't come crying to me because you're hung over, have cirrhosis of
the liver, or drove your car into a furniture store.
Apple Macintosh Connectors and Cables--I've
been hunting for connectors and stuff for my Mac, and I made a
page of the various connectors and cables I've found.
Never
Demotivational Posters--The
content is not mine, but I have permission from
Despair, Inc.
to put up these images of anti-motivating posters they sell.
Story Of My Life--Thoroughly
embellished and relatively fact-free
State of the Bloom--Pictures
from the 1997 Lilac Festival. Each year,
Rochester, NY
hosts their Lilac Festival. In 1997, it ran from
May 16 to May 26. For more information on this years festival, see the official
Lilac Festival
page. Also, if you're so
inclined, check out our way-cool
City Hall.
To the right is Rochester's own High Falls
(the image is Copyright (c)1997 Jason Olshefsky, so
ask me
before you use it).
Amazon Associates--You buy stuff at Amazon, I get store credit.
Web Sale--I
had a bunch of junk around the house, and it was too cold
around here to have a regular outdoor garage/tag sale to
get rid of it so I put it here.
Free Disks In The Mail--As
everyone who reads this has seen, the major online companies like to send out
free disks. Here's my collection.
Dumb Links Page--I
primiarly use as a home page, but I figured
someone else might like to go there. There are no guarantees with this
page, but if you find something broken you can tell me anyway.
Fat Burning Soup--Results
of a not-doctor-recommended diet. (Not that doctors don't approve, I just
never discussed it.)
Television Networks--A
while ago, I started a list of all the networks I could find (and that I have at
least a slight interest in) along with links directly to their schedules.
Unfortunately, this is wildly out of date and a lot of the links don't
work anymore.
Funny Things--Just
a list of links to funny things I've found on the Internet.
Favorite Comics--Basically,
just a list of links to my favorite Internet comics
with inline images showing the most recent comic.
Friends Stuff
Ruckus RIT--My
My friend Alexandra Whitman, a
Fine Arts student at RIT finished
her thesis of American Culture as Art. RIT approved her to
put up her thesis work on campus from March through May of 1997 and
this is the announcement for it. It still seems to get a lot of
traffic, so I'll leave it.
Kevin "Kage" Brayton
has some out-of-date personal information, but he spends most of his
web updating time maintaining his very impressive
"BTV - The British Television Network."
Mike Croghan
changed his page so the out-of-date personal information has been
replaced with a smaller volume of less specific, more constant information.
He also used to maintain an award winning
Religion Page
for which he's trying to find someone else to maintain it.
John Hurrell
has a home page with a set of good links as he promises.
Jan Nedelka
has mostly personal info and links related to stuff he likes, but some
links and information on his profession of Microelectronic Engineer
including periodicals and
American Vacuum Society
stuff. He also recently ditched Servtech/Verio to go to RoadRunner.
Tom Pierce
periodically experiments with HTML and has some personal/family information.
He's had some problems at work with the web server so his page may not
be available.
Rick Schreiber
had some decent personal info, but took it down a year ago for privacy
reasons. Most importantly, he maintains the
Weekly Ride
page which lists where we're going and where we've been
mountain biking. Occasionally we bring his digital camera along and
snap some shots.
Derrick Williams
has a strange but vain page like no other. Hopefully he'll put some of the stories back up.
Miscellaneous Comments
Weirdness
I had this dream in June or July of 1996 that I thought might be
interesting to get on the WWW soon...
From what I really remember of it, I saw a big plane get hit by
lightning (or at least that's what I thought it was, since I really
didn't see the lightning bolt). In slow motion detail, I saw the
fuselage glow white from the bottom of the back side toward the front.
It was like watching frame-by-frame video playback on TV, and I only
got to see about two "frames" of this, so I figure it happened very
quickly.
The next thing I remember, I somehow went to where part of the plane
crashed (I don't remember seeing it go down, though). The back half of
the plane minus the wings was in a ravine about 50 feet deep. Although
I remember looking at it from the side, I could only see into the open
end at the front and there were people there. I think there was a fence
at the edge of the ravine, but in any case I couldn't get to where the
plane or people were for some reason. Although I don't think it's
important, I called for help on my cellular phone. I don't remember
anything more after that.
So what's so weird about this? Like I said, this was in mid 1996,
after the ValuJet plane crashed, but before Flight 800 went down.
Just today it dawned on me that this dream might be about Flight 800. If
the NTSB determines the plane was hit by lightning, or it had some kind
of electrical problem, I'm gonna be really freaked out. If not, I'm just
crazy for putting up this note.

In case you like making documents and want something semi-official looking to work
from when making HTML, check out the
HTML 3.0 Specification draft
and the
HTML 2.0 Specification.
I just heard that I'm listed in
Yahoo
RSN. All I can say is, "It's about friggin' time!"
I tried about five times to get it listed, and it's finally there.
If you got here from a link from somewhere else, I probably already
know about and listed it on my "Go
Back!" page.

Since I shaved my head back on April 10, 2000, I thought I better put
up an image that reflects what I look like now. I'm not continuing
to shave, so it's starting to grow back and probably by the time you
read this, I'll look completely different again. If you think I look
like someone else, check out the
survey,
or if you're just checking, see the
results.
