Here is some text for you to read. I created this page originally to house the clickable IPA chart which is really cool and you should check it out for real. But as long as I've got this little online slice of life going, I figured well why not unleash a delicious commingling of pleasing graphic sensibility and miscellaneous profound content on the world? Indeed. So here you go. All these pages have been coded by hand through a process of self-instruction on web design and are now pretty much up to XHTML and CSS standards.

As far as specifics go, well, the links page gives you a lot of cool links in different categories that happen to be the pitstops on the proverbial information superhighway that I particularly enjoy buying the proverbial coffee and going to the proverbial bathroom at. The thoughts page is (well, is getting to be) a dive into various areas of deep interest for me. Go there if you feel like digging into the shady subject of what goes on in my mind, or if you are actually really interested in stuff like applied phonetics, type design & appreciation, topology, the unusual things that determine my tastes in music, and so on. I have also made a page specifically about nitpicky things in phonetics that bother me and that I want something done about. The pictures page may eventually become a webcomic or something really internetty like that but for now it doesn't even have anything on it so I really wouldn't bother trying to go there. There is a page on running where you can find maps and descriptions of Williamstown running routes that I like to do, there is another page where I suggest things for you to listen to, and there are some results of surveys that I took online somewhere. The Switzerland report is a large PDF full of pretty pictures and words about the independent summer study I did in Switzerland on the country's rural built environment. Finally, if you want to see the great-looking stylesheet that I use for these pages, here it is.

That is all. Except that I urgently need you to (1) read the Postscript if you want to or (2) not read the Postscript if you don't want to.
The Postscript
A pretty sweet take-home lesson: One doesn't usually think of honey as having a strong flavor. One time, though, I tried sweetening some hot cocoa with honey, and then to my surprise I could no longer taste the chocolate - it was completely masked by the honey flavor. Honey is actually a strong flavor, everyone! It is insidious and delicious.
