Re: Internet Home Page v. 0.3.2
This site is defunct and only kept semi-alive for historical purposes and possibly for reference. Instead of this head-in-a-jar monstrosity, check out my current web home located at monodrone.org. Thx. ~ Jeff
It’s evolution, baby.
Somewhere in the back of my brain, I intended to continue and update this website, perhaps once I’d settled into American life once again and begun to figure things out. But as the months dragged on, I finally remembered the cardinal lesson of my first 27 years: you can never “figure things out.”
Because I dig having version numbers at the top of this page, I’ve increased the version incrementally. Don’t expect too much new stuff, or anything. This is less of a website and more of an attic — sort of a twisted cyber-extension of my memories and thoughts. Though not as cool as that sounds.
Here are the contents:
- Full Disclosure: an overview of my life in Łomża, Poland, 9/2002 – 7/2004, for friends and family... ¤ Updated April 19, 2004, but not totally abandoned
- Lighthouse: an occasionally-updated journal type of thing. Not a blog, per se, one difference being that my page is a bizarre hand-coded concoction and much less user-friendly. ¤ Updated March 9, 2005
- The Orcas: a bunch of demo songs I’ve recorded under this misleading pseudonym. ¤ Updated around August, 2004
- Wide-ruled: the theoretical home of some of my writing projects. I will have some things to add to this eventually. ¤ Updated December 1, 2003
- Junk Drawer: miscellaneous documents and amusing things I’ve dug up from my past. ¤ Updated January 2005

In case you just wonder where I am and what’s up with me, I am gonna try to give you a quick status note towards the end here whenever I update anything:
- Living in:
- Washington, DC, future home of the “Nats”, current home to a kazillion Texan Republican politicians, um, why do I like it here again?
- Working at:
- Sigh... Georgetown University Law Center... Wishing for a new job...
- Reading:
- Polish homework, European history, some Mark Twain stories, and still trying to read The Spear of Destiny.
- Listening to:
- Mercury Rev, Les Savy Fav, Luna, Nina Nastasia, internet radio, mp3 blogs
- Cooking:
- Leeks (they are fun!), barley (not worth the effort), taro (interesting), pine nuts, risotto (I never really tried before)
Tha small print: No copyrights here! Borrow judiciously! ... Like most websites, this looks way better in Firefox... Sorry ‘bout the geocities business; someday I’ll pay to have a real site (and be a real boy?)... I have some bookmarks and some photos and some shout-outs that might be worth a gander... Also some guitar tablature...
1 Somehow AOL recently deleted my old account for no apparent reason. So au revoir, “jeffnotjef”!
2 They only allow fifteen characters so this id is sort of a compromise. Audioscrobbler mostly just chronicles what I listen to at work.
3 I use this far less even than IM but, hey, I do need some new friends.
