Where’s my animated ‘under construction’ GIF from the late 90s?
It had flashing lights and everything, so typically late-1990s web development. Ok, maybe mid-1990s. I’ve always been about five years behind the curve. I didn’t stop using tables until three or four years ago. Anyway, should anyone actually be at their computer [Read More]
Toastchee #7: I don’t get many things right the first time (in fact, I am told that a lot)
I’ll run out of Toastchees soon enough. I mean, I’ve already skipped ahead two decades. On the other hand, I could probably go through a couple hundred of these. I realize it takes little effort to embed the YouTube video that someone else has already gone [Read More]
Toastchee #6: Kim Cattrall Alert!
No, no, no, I’m not talking about the Sex and the City movie! I’m talking about this gem: [Read More]
Toast of Durham
There’s a new Durham site that everyone ought to check out, durham.mync.com. In the meantime, I’ve figured out a replacement for the domain I had used for Durham-specific posts, since I decided recently that the restaurant with that name ought to have the domain [Read More]

Toastchee #5: Alone
This video had the opposite effect that the song usually has. I was hacking up a lung laughing at the visual bombast. (I love it). I will see Heart in a couple of months in Charlotte, as they do the old-eighties-bands-band-together thing with Journey and Cheap Trick. I had [Read More]
Toastchee #4: Obscure Chicago
I was so thrilled to be able to buy the Chicago Twenty1 cassette from the Cherry Hill (NJ) Mall back in March 1991. (Cherry Hill was the home of the NJ State FBLA convention!) There were a few pretty good power ballads on this release, even if no one’s heard of any of [Read More]
The Fallen
‘Miracle’ Marine loses final battle I had some commentary, but I’ll let the story speak for itself. [Read More]
Toastchee #3: Premature Revelation
I was just going to link to a quarter-century old Steve Perry clip, but Sony doesn’t like you embedding their stuff on your page, and I’m too lazy to download it and convert it and upload it. I think this far more recent Journey clip is more timely anyway, since [Read More]
More of the same
I take far more pictures than I bother to revisit, go through, and post to Flickr. If I don’t post them right away, they usually go forgotten. I was going to go through some New England photos, but I found lots of pet photos in the same folder, mostly from November [Read More]
