ten-year webiversary

I realized today that it was about ten years ago that I developed my first personal website on the Internet. While my earliest pages–from 1994, hosted at Digex–no longer seem to be available (I can’t locate them in the Internet Archive), in 1995 I moved to my own domain, elfintech.com, and the Internet Archive aka the Wayback Machine has several copies beginning with a version from mid-1996, then titled “The Elfwood.”

Weekend brunch

One day each weekend Jeff and I try to have a nice sit-down brunch together with eggs and bacon. This afternoon we added some garlic potatoes, oranges and grapes, and a pot of English Breakfast tea, using the cute and handy little teapot my mother gave us for Christmas.

Wikipedia entry for fictional chemical substances

Xeni Jardin:
In wikipedia, we find this comprehensive list of fictional chemical substances from films, television, books and the scientific community. Included: Administratium, Orichalcum, Vibranium, and my favorite: “Upsidaisium” (from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show). Link (Thanks, striatic)
