Many people have directories that they use to public their random ephemera to the Web, and this is mine. The categories below are automatically generated.
CGI source of this page: /inside/misc. This directory follows the examples of Morbus' detergent and Aaron's 2002 in that it is a temporally independent warehouse of information (Aaron's directory name is a misleading misnomer). The name is based on Cody's similar choice of misc for d8uv.com.
I like Morbus' description of his detergent section so much that I'm going to snarf it for here: "Welcome! Detergent[^Wmisc] is a grandiose collection of thingies cobbled together in an attempt to preserve the disorder I enjoy or else, have been a part of. Browse around, wonder fruitlessly about why I archived this or that, and do not have high expectations. It's random, esoteric, off-kilter, and smells. That's the point, bub."
