This site is a (forever pending) member of the Halfbakery Members' Webring.
This page was set up mainly to link with the halfbakery webring set up by Pseudonym #3. His page layout and graphics have been unashamedly copied, lock, stock and barrel. And I shall continue his tradition by continuing to write random things about the halfbakery. I fell into the halfbakery by accident, stumbling across it while I was looking for something else. Re-route your urethra! Wow! People were discussing it as if it would be the most natural thing in the world to pee through some other appendage. And things like that. I came back, repeatedly, then typed up an idea of mine own, registered an account and jumped in. Fishboned, and later deleted, that first idea was.
Fishbone? The halfbakery is a place where you write up fictitious inventions: Inventions which do not exist, except in your imagination. Other halfbakery members will then add comments of their own after your description. They also vote for and against. The 'for' votes are visualised as croissants. The negative votes get you the stylised picture of fishbones.
For those of you who aren't going to bother to read my profile:
My username is a pseudonym. Long ago, getting on the net for the third time or so,
I went to hotmail and requested my name as an email id. No Go. I was asked to append
a large number to the end of that name. I had to think up something, and so my handle
came into being. It does actually mean something, please read the profile in case you
are interested.
I live in a little place somewhere on earth, where the weather changes every three months and the roads are crooked, but not as much as the government. Just in case you've been living in a cave, Michigan is in the US, and Sydney is in Australia. I live with my wife, two daughters, and a dog. I also have an endless supply of hot air. My hobbies include playing guitar, designing and assembling simple electronic circuits and writing (particularly on the halfbakery). Somehow, I have been supposed by a couple of other users at the halfbakery to be from Holland. Or Germany. Actually, I'm from another country in another continent.
