"Viscous materials, especially ink, is
often difficult to work with."
Clawson Container Company Catalog, showing rare insight into the writer's burden
Sometimes I write things that aren't
stories.
Sometimes they're explicitly about me--those things
have their own page.
This page is for things that aren't stories and
that aren't about me. Some of them aren't even
writings.

book on repairing undersea cables. It is about specialized grappling
hooks and grapnels.

interest you. If you are a computer programmer, then they
might or might not.

guy wrote

- Back when Doom was the coolest game around, I made a WAD
(set of adventures) for it. I haven't uploaded the WAD
to this site, but I did put up its README file. As far as
I know, this was the only WAD that came with a bibliography.
But I haven't looked too hard.
- Larry's Bike FAQ
- These are answers to frequently asked questions about my bike.

Maybe I should put it on my anecdote page
instead of here.
