Greetings!

Here's my latest presence on the web, at my new home, zarquon.org. There's going to be a certain amount of construction going on as I move and redesign things from my now nonexistent site at mari.net; please bear with me.

Generally, you'll be using the menu frame on the left to navigate your way around this site. However, the very first thing you should do is:

What you're gonna find on this website:

• Information about me. Everything you never wanted to know, and more.
  Turgid, vapid, self-indulgent prose! ...guaranteed to restore the reader's comparative self-worth! Three stars! -- Bumpus Mills Daily Honk
• Items of interest for Michigan Tech alumni, students, staff, and friends.
  Alumni news, Tech sports results, and more...
• My self-indulgent hobbies.
  Genealogy, Science Fiction fandom, flagellation with wet noodles...
• Miscellany.
  My Internet Oracle Writings, my humongous quotes file, interesting hotlinks, unmitigated ranting & raving...

What you're NOT gonna find on this website:

• My Guestbook.
  I have taken my guestbook down, thanks to the scum-sucking pigs who abused its open posting philosophy with links to porn and online casinos. You know who you are.
• My Email Address.
  My old email address, peed@zarquon.net, was recently subjected to an onslaught of spam, which I suspect is caused in part by having it harvested from this webpage. You can still Email me from this website; however, you will now do so from a form which is resident on this server and will send email to my new address from remote. Taking this approach not only hides my email address from the casual observer (and more importantly harvesters), but also allows me to gather other information about you, including your IP address, which I WILL use as evidence against you if you are stupid enough to send me spam.
