I guess I took it out.

I just found this picture my friend took in front of the art museum in Kansas City. They have some sculptures in this nice park in front of the museum. This is an extraordinarily large "birdie" which rests upon my lifeless body. I'm guessing that I wasn't the first to come up with the idea of laying down underneath this sculpture for the comedic value.

Ah yes! That is one of the Oldenburg Shuttlecocks at the Nelson-Atkins Museum. I went to school about 200 feet from there!

Anyone who doesn't recognize mine, um... I dunno what to tell you. Protesta.

Before this, I think it was the Mothmonsterman from ATHF. Before that, a picture I took of a cicada during la invasion and before that an Atari 2600 joystick. I'll keep you all updated.

I always thought it was a chocolate candy easter rabbit.

My avatar is Waffen-SS Kurt 'Panzer' Meyer, commander of the reconnaisance batallion of of the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler as well as commander of the 12th SS Panzer division in Normandy. I read his autobiography, 'Grenadiers', a couple years ago.



He was the most exceptional german field commander of the second world war, honoured with Knight's Cross with Swords and Oakleaves. He was a fearless and reckless leader, as well master of panzer tactics, such as the schwerpunkt asssault. He served in the frontline in Greece, Russia and France for almost five years. At the Falaise gap Two of his Tigers took out something like 120 Canadian sherman tanks in one day.

After his capture in 1944 he became the only person to ever indited for war crimes by Canada. Whilst almost certainly not guility of the ordering the execution of Canadian prisoners he was completely unable to see the invasion of Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary,Greece, Holland, Belgium and France as criminal act.

During his interrogation by the Canadians shortly after the war, Meyer viewed the struggle in Normandy as "magnificent in the best Wagnerian tradition. As he described his actions and those of his men, it seemed as though he liked to consider himself as Siegfried leading his warriors to their death."

My first computer ever: a Spectrum ZX-81, with a whopping 1K of memory. It was also the first computer I programmed on:

10 PRINT I AM COOL
20 GOTO 10

Things haven't progressed much since then unfortunately.
