Maze
This is a drawing I made one summer afternoon @ work
on a particularly uneventful and hot day. It's a
profile shot of a lady with extrordinarily curly hair
that I used to create a nice maze. Average completion
time of the maze: 3 1/2 minutes.

Red Meat Comics
In August of 1996 I went to visit my aunts in California.
They introduced me to a comic strip called "Red Meat"
and I have since taken the liberty of searching out a
homepage for the strip and took the best of the best
and stuck them in a list. Be Hard Core: View Red Meat Comics,
if you've got the stomach for it!

Bizarro Comics
While in California I also was introduced to "Bizarro
Comics." While Red Meat Comics thrive on upsetting your
stomach and almost predictably try to get you to balk
at its commentary, Bizarro relies more on wit and
mocking humor. Dare to be strange: View Bizarro Comics.

How To Play HDU
Here are the rules for Hot Death UNO
In Web (HTML) format. It's the
quintessential print out to have during the game, as there are always
new players that don't know how to play.

Hot Death UNO version 1.1
This is a game that I've been playing since about 1993.
It's an UNO variant called Hot Death UNO. Whoever came
up with this game should go to Mattel (Parker Bros, etc.)
and make a deal to mass produce the game (after a little
face-job on some of the cards). It's a great game that, once
you learn the new cards, is a LOT of fun. I made a couple
pages out on my computer of the cards, printed them out, taped
them onto the back of real Uno cards, and Voila! Lots O Fun!
This game requires the VBRUN100.DLL file, which should be on
your computer already, if not, it's a free file on the web.
I couldn't remember if it needed VBRUN200.dll, so I stuck it in
this ZIP file. It should go in the Windows\System
directory of your computer. Enjoy! Hot Death UNO version 1.1

Printable HDU Cards!
Around November of 1999 my girl Emilie requested on behalf of a friend of ours
in Knoxville that I make a set of Hot Death UNO cards (print some out, etc.)
for her as a Christmas gift. Well, it turned out that I had accidentally
deleted the old files that I'd used to create the originals, so I took
it upon myself to create brand new Hot Death UNO
cards of my own in Photoshop 5. These new versions are viewable from the
"How To Play HDU" Page! These cards look a helluva lot cooler
than the originals, but I've changed 4 of them to be more family oriented.
(Don't get me wrong, the originals were designed nicely,
it's just that you can't really expect much from the size and resolution
they were working with, especially as they weren't expecting to have their versions
printed out and pasted on real cards, as these are.)
So here they are, folks! The New, Improved, (and for a wider audience..)
HDU Cards! Enjoy! (Note: If you're from the old
school and would prefer HDU cards you can't show your kids and parents,
let me know and I'll post them, too, but I want to see if people actually request
them before I stick them up to be downloaded.)

Equus
Quite some time ago while on a talker (chat line.. sorta) called Hotel
California I happened upon a gameroom. The game was called "Equus" and
I had a lot of fun playing it. While I was learning Visual Basic 5 I
tried to make a Windows version of the program. It's pretty cute, but
also pretty useless. Equus is a two player game and I haven't the knowledge
yet to program a computer player, and I moved on to other projects before
I got into how to network Visual Basic programs, so essentially you usually
end up playing yourself. HOWEVER! Not too long ago I found that the original
creator of the game has released a DOS version in full color, with groovie
animations, backgrounds, and most importantly, a computer player! -- except
that the computer player doesn't play very well. I haven't gotten him to
beat me yet. The only problem with *it* is that it will not work on a FAT32
formatted drive, nor WinNT. I won't bother explaining why; it just doesn't work.
There you have it folks! If you want my version: Equus in VB5.
and if you want his version (much cooler), try his!: Equus in DOS.
The game is simple, it's a 5 by 5 tic tac toe that allows the users to
rotate a row or column. For example:
O X X O X
is the current status of a row. The player decides to Rotate the
Row LEFT and so the row is left in the following state:
X X O X O
Note - The 'O' initially on the far left has been pulled around
to now reside on the far right.

Tweak
Tweak is a great program for doing the little
things you always wanted to do with windows, like clearing your document
history on boot up, automatically logging you into your network (don't
have to put in that annoying password every time), etc.
Unzip the four files to your WINDOWS directory. Go to your windows
directory and RIGHT click on the TWEAKUI.INF file and click "install."
Follow the directions from there.. I don't remember what to do from there,
but it shouldn't be too much trouble. E-mail me if you can't figure it out.

Still Working on it.
