This is a picture of my friend Wendell up on stage with yes...The Indigo Girls. This a photo of their July 6th concert at Berkeley. He held up a sign asking if he could play up on stage with him. They waved him up on stage and he got a guitar and he got to play "Closer to Fine". That is so cool.

6/15/97

WE WON!!!! I am going to Cupertino CA this summer to present our project to some executives at Apple Computer company. This is going to rule. I guess we are going to head out to a winery and they are going to treat us to a nice meal and we will be able to sample some of the wines.
As for how we got there...we had to give a presentation and it was going OK, but one of our group members stepped on the powercord and we lost the computer, projector, and VCR. It pretty much put us into a frenzy. And if you watch the video you can see me doing absolutely nothing as I just wander around the stage and look at things. Oh well. So yeah this summer it looks as though this is my schedule. I will be heading out to Cupertino of course, I will be visiting my friend Wendell at Pixar in SanFran. I hope to visit both Chicago and Boston, I want to hit Colorado to visit my brother. I need to head out to Seattle to visit my friend Andrew as he is moving out there. Man want to be included in Peter's World Tour '97? Just give me an email. So yeah...Yeah whatever I am tired.

5/2/97

Wow I saw a really disturbing thing today you need to check it out. Brainwash chemicals...I am convinced this chemical they are speaking of is in SURGE!!!! I mean think about it, you actually saw an alien landing at Roswell, but now you think you had spent the entire weekend climbing over couches yelling SURGE!!!!!. The Link for SURGE!!!!!

Another disturbing thing...Eugenics in China, they are starting a law that states that couples that are to be married are to undergo genetics testing to prove their genetic suitablity to bear children. If they fail they will either have to partake in good old sterilization or need to have long term contraception. Man could you imagine a billion people that were all genetically perfect why it would be just like....ME. No I am just kidding of course. About the perfect person being me...not the eugenics, oh nevermind.A billion and one Replicants

4/22/97

I added a features section so you can look at the superCHEEZE things that I have done for this page in one convient place.

Features (Better living through dorky webpages)

4/18/97

Hey I am doing this library research project so if you want to write me email on what you think is wrong with the libraries of today and what would you change about them that would be great.

4/7/97

Well you asked for it...Well you didn't actually but that is ok. I am going to put my digital work up here for all to view. They nuked my account here at the university becuase I was breaking quota.

A 3d guy in a room

My colorado bound title

My bitter April Fool's greeting

4/7/97

Hey I got some hate email from this site the other day. I will quote them to you. "THERE SHOULD BE A LAW AGAINST B.S. WEBSIGHTS LIKE YOURS---GET A LIFE" And "WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YUOR BOORING LIFE". I wrote him back to ask him how he even found my page. Well there you have it. It snowed yesterday in MN. This is a big joke.

4/3/97

Wow I got some really large news today. But unfortunately I called her at about 12 midnite and she was sleeping. If you don't know what I am talking about then that is good because I am not going to tell you. Oh and congrats.
4/1/97

I got into that crazy thing to deal with libraries of the future. I guess we are one of four groups and if we create the best one...we will be flown out to Cupertino CA, to be interviewed by the press and receive a critique by some apple execs. It should be fun. And if it is crazy good we could be in the epcot. As you might imagine it will be a bit strange for me.

3/30/97

So I am back from the great beyond as you can tell from my crazy graphic that was there before, you know I was in Utah and CO, hikin, bikin, climbin. And yes I did fall down at all three activities. I took pictures of all of my wounds, and my activities too. I am sure that by the end of the week, work permitting, I will have some new sections up here and a little different organization. With an old section or something. Man what a pain. I should hire someone to update the page full time.
3/19/97

As I am sure anyone who is emailing me knows, I am going to Colorado to go skiing and biking. The sad thing is that I was incorrect about my location, I will be in Moab but I may go to Arches National Park
So do you like the new little ditty at the top...I felt that I should fend off the hordes of people that visit my site, or is that counter so high just from me checking it all the time? Hmmmn, something to think about. Well I am going to be back in about two sundays from now. And If I die my world tour of mourning will begin on April 1st. My casket will be "fedexed" around like a really bad chain letter. Oh I suppose I could be cremated and you could send me to 20 of your best friends or some really bad luck will befall you.
Well the finals are over and I am still alive, but my grades aren't. Oh well just think of the demand for street musicians. Who wants to grind my monkey organ as I dance? Well I suppose I could have a cool little picture about that later. Hopefully I will be updating my webpage next quarter as my powerbook will be hooked into the network at school.
2/25/97

So I have not written in my webpage in quite a while. But hey here it is. All of my friends are doing very well, getting jobs, having children, graduating, and other big milestones. Meanwhile I am still going to school, and I have not been updating the page because I have not been able to spend as much time on my computer as I would like to. But what are you going to do. I am truly enjoying the new Star Wars movies and I actually had to wait two hours for tickets to see Empire.

So I am going to redo the page soon to take advantage of more advanced technologies that have been released since its inception. Oh well, I hope the page will become more useful in the future even though I have no idea how. I think with the reinstitution of the counter and guestbook(scroll down) But hey you don't have to make me feel good. I will be ok.

1/3/97

So today is my birthday and that is pretty neat. But there is nothing for me to do for my big 22. I am going to have some people over for dinner tomorrow but I am going make some Thai food so if anyone wants to come by just give me a call. Heh. Oh well. I am going to start updating the page again since my computer crashed. That and finals are the reason that the page has not been updated. Well wish me a happy birthday and thanks for all of your Christmas and birthday cards and gifts. Hopefully now that computer is working again so I can start writing more nice little sections for my webpage.
11/25/96

What do you think? I am going to class now but write me if you can even see or read what I am writing. You must have Navigator 3.0 or better. Well I am going to Utah soon so peace out. I also will be featuring my first Photoshop 4.0 graphics soon so check that out too.

Squirrel Cam!!!!!

11/20/96

Well I think I may have finished my project which is a huge surprise to me. Oh well look at some more 3d stuff. I put up a fixed version of the old picture and a candle.

Version two of the "Masterpiece"?

A candle

11/19/96

I am working on this wonderful project for school right now and thus I am updating the webpage. I am going to Utah over the Thanksgiving break...Where are you going? Email me and I will say man that is really cool.And I also have been doing some 3d rendering if you want an example of my handywork.

I want to see a really huge 3d picture of the things that Peter doesn't do.

11/18/96

The first and second day of work was kind of exciting I guess. But I made some money and that is all that matters, right? It is snowing now and man is it cold and miserable. Oh well.

On the lighter side I wanted to ride the bus to school early so that I would be able to study for an exam on campus, but I got on the bus two minutes before the end of rush hour. So it was a dollar fifty instead of a dollar. So I decided that hey I will run forward a couple of stops and then I can catch the bus after 9 am. I ran for about 10 blocks...I would have made it but the lady ran a yellow and then she got 3 greens in a row so I would have never caught her. So now that I ahve run a long ways away from my house and it will be 20 minutes until the next bus arrives I decided that I would walk toward school then catch the bus when it passed me. Well 45 minutes later I was at school and the bus just beat me. Public transportation rules!

11/13/96

I got a job and I am going in for my first day tomorrow. So yeah that is the big thing. I also got rid of all evidence that no one is visiting my page. Oh well time to wallow in self pity. If school ever lets up I will put my plans sections again. So yeah more of you should put up webpages and update them darn it. Oh well.

10/30/96

So I saw something rather interesting a few days ago...I saw one police car, then two, three, ...all the way up to 15 police cars to bring down one guy who was just standing there. I guess they were a little jumpy because Clinton was in town but sheesh. But why I brought this up is it was giving me flashbacks about my little driving incident....Although I only attracted 4 police cars. Of those of you who know me you know the story. Otherwise I will put that story up when I have the time.

10/11/96

So anyhow I guess I am going to go to Utah over the Thanksgiving holiday so no visit from Peter at anyone's dinner table this year. I am going to work on the page more this weekend converting the plans and some of the trips over to the new format. Thank God for cut and paste. This weekend I am going on a bike tour down the mississippi river and that should be pretty cool. It is 25 miles and it should be a blast. I think ht fall colours are all out and that should be quite a sight. I think I should take some pictures and put them up on my webpage...why not everything else does.

I also tried to chat with people over the internet last night with voice communications...I met a lot of people that have about as much life as I do. And then on a good note I met a fellow mac user while playing this robot fighting game over the net. He lives pretty close to me and that is pretty cool. But chatting over the internet is a big waste of time. Somehow it doesn't seem that strange when you are typing it in but when you actually have to talk to someone it is pretty wierd, because it becomes painfully obvious that you have nothing to talk about. It is kind of like picking up the phone and dialing a random number. But hey among the people I met were an Air Force Pilot , a kid who was t going to school right now, and a high school student. It was also fun convincing a guy for a moment that he was on the radio. I answered the Cooltalk phone by saying "Hello you are caller number 7 can you hear me" and he started screaming, saying"Oh my God" and stuff like that asking me if he was really on the radio and he was pretty pissed when I said that he wasn't.

But hey if anyone else wants to chat with me over Cooltalk I am all over that, just give me an email and we can set up a time to chat over the internet for pretty much free. And if you are a real computer nerd we can do videoconferencing, I am all set up here.

10/14/96

Well this weekend I went to go biking and it was a lot of fun, we as much fun as biking 25 miles when you didn't get enough sleep could be.

10/8/96

A native american guy tried to sell me a knife today...he needed the money to buy alcohol because he was hung over. Since I had no need for a knife I didn't buy it. So tell me kids I am glad that a lot of people are making webpages these days so if you need a link just ask em and I will create a little graphic for your page.

Also I found out that last month there were over 16 burglaries in my area and 11 occurred on my block. Kind of exciting eh?

Today's News

5/8/96

I got some new fish. I have two danio giants. I think you can see them in the first tobin photo.

Help Me Name My FISH

5/8/96

I think I may have lost my wallet so if you can find it where you are. Please try to find it. I think I saw it the last at Quan Deli in Minneapolis.. So if you head down there check it out. It had a bunch of bad Photo ID's in it and it really sucked maybe it won't be so bad to get a new one.

UPDATE
I found it in my room. Also I feel a little better becuase there will be new Macintoshes coming out this summer that will completely rock and roll so I don't feel the need to get one now. Plus I can't afford one.

5/9/96

Today is a day like any other. I am late for class. I am not prepared and I spent all night in the computer lab working on one of my classes while my other two are falling. But hey that is OK. So hello world. Make some more enteries in the Guestbook. Ha Ha Ha.

5/10/96

2 More Tobin Pictures Added. Check Tobins homepage to see it.
Found out that my Powerbook is flaky because of some computer flaw. How uncool. Well Today I am having a BBQ if I had an instant camera you could get some photos from it but I don't so I will try to get one. I guess the BBQ is off. It is about 30 degrees outside and it looks like it is going to rain. Oh well what are you going to do. Well right now I am in the computer lab dinking around so if we can figure out how to chat that would be cool.
UPDATE
Added a bookmark link. You can see where the lonely man travels the net.
Added a link for julie to find the pictures of her on the taiwan assoc(at the b\ ottom)
Added a link for Alan's Homepage YOU MUST CHECK IT OUTAl's Homepage
Added a picture to my What is going on in Peter's Life. Check it out it is really neat.

5/14/96

Sorry for not writing on the homepage for a while. I was very busy with some computer programs for my classes. I am very happy a lot of people are coming home, my Brother, my friend Wendell, and my two Jenny's. Also I am going to visit Felicia soon in Chicago so if any of you all know what fun stuff there is to do in Chicago give me a buzz. Also check out the first visitor that we have had without a formal annoucement.

5/19/96

Hey look another person that I don't know also signed the guestbook. But hey he was the only on to help me name my fish. So tell me kids, what is your plans for the summer. I guess Tina (you remember her don't you) she is going to be in Vancouver over the summer, so who knows maybe someone can come with me to visit them. or maybe not. Yeah. So this weekend is the big trip to Chicago. I am excited. You know ya'll can invite me over to your homes over the summer. I am actually thinking of visiting Jen in SF, and there are a lot of people in Texas, and visiting Judy would be a lot of fun. SO Hey enter "See what is going on in Peter's Life" and you can email me for a visit.

5/25/96

Well my trip to Chicago has been postponed, and I am also not going to Iowa this weekend. Well. I am excited though I think that I am going to go to Chicago on the 15th of June and I think Judy is going to visit MN for about an hour so that will be very exciting to visit her. So tell me kiddies. Why don't you all mail me about your summer plans. I plan to do some traveling this summer so I think I may try to visit some people.
UPDATE
A picture of Tobin layed out next to my friend Wendell. Check Tobins homepage for that.

5/26/96

UPDATE
Added a really cool image map for news navigation on my site. Hey here it is!!

5/30/96

Well this is the last day of classes before finals. Right now I am frantically trying to get in touch with Judy to see if I can see her in the airport when she passes through MN. Also I think that my trip to Chicago will be coming up on the 14th and I am going to the BWCA right after my last final to spend some time in the woods...far away from any computers. Well I will try to write some people at home with the whole snail mail, after all I am sure a lot of people will not have email acess over the summer. So I think that I am going to have to visit Jen over the summer in SF so I think I better give her a little email right now. If she has not perhaps someone can give me her address or phone number for her residence over the summer.
UPDATE
Changed some of the mess that was here when I was getting too crazy with the gif animations.

5/31/96

Well I called Judy today and she will hopefully be visiting me on the 22nd of June and she will be going to a wedding and we will hang out for a couple of days. Yeah so that is two people from Chien Tan that I will visiting this month. Hey if I can keep this up I will be done with all of my visits by September when I need to go back to school. So yeah if you want to visit me or have a visit give me an email. But hey I think it will have to be initiated by me. Cool. Well I am going to go hang out with my best friend who will be leaving tomorrow. Well you may be getting a call from me if youare a real bum for not visiting me.

6/6/96

Well things are going just great. I am really flubbing up this quarter. Oh well what are you going to do. But this friday I am going to run off into the woods. So next weekend(the 15th) should be Felicia's Place. And then hopefully on the 22nd Judy can visit me. Well I think that I will have to call both Judy and Felicia this weekend.

6/12/96

Well there it is. I was in the Boundry Waters this weekend and it was a lot of fun. I portaged(carried over my head) a canoe for 200 Rods(a conoe length), a 40 Rod, a 40 Rod, 40 Rod, and then a 16 Rod. And we had to row all over the place inbetween the portages. So yeah This weekend I am going to visit Felicia, and next weekend Judy is coming to visit me. Thank goodness. Well hey.
UPDATE
Added a new picture of the BWCA in the picture gallery.

6/13/96

YEARGH!!!!
Found out Judy will not be able to stay for the weekend of the 22nd. I am so upset. So but that is OK, but I am going to Chicago. And it will be OK. So tell me. When will I visit you? You tell me. Well I am going to cry for a while(no I won't because I will still be able to visit her at the airport) So tell me. Hey Hey. I am going to watch some movies tommorow. James and the giant peach. Should be pretty neat. Well there you have it. More plans falling apart. But hey my Chicago plans are working out great. Well talk to you all later.

6/13/96

Should be pretty neat. Well there you have it. More plans falling apart. But hey my Chicago plans are working out great. Well talk to you all later. Hey I am going to look for a new bike pretty neat eh? The bike i have now is about 8 years old and it is about 6 pounds heavier than any bike you can buy nowadays.

6/14/96

YEAH!!!!
Holy Cow I got a new bike yesterday and it is very cool. I am going to bike everywhere this summer. It is amazing what you can get if you don't want to buy the fastest computer on the earth, and the bike will be so much more fun too. So yeah I am leaving for Chicago in like an hour so everyone have a great weekend I know I will. I also watched "The Rock" Pretty crazy movie. So yeah I need to do some laundry so I will have some clothes to wear this weekend. So if you have the time give me an email this weekend. And also give me a buzz next week...cuz if you don't I will.

6/17/96

Hey ya'll if you were trying to reach me this weekend I was (and still am in Chicago with Felicia, and Sophia) my car is broken so my stay was couple days longer than I expected. But hopefully I will be able to head home tommorow, or wednesday. So yeah by the end of this week I will be heading over to Como for Tara's Wedding and I am really looking forward to it. So tell me all what is going on with you? I noticed that none of you have written me over the weekend but I will take excuses until the end of the month then it is payback time. Yeah well my car won't go above 30 or 40 miles per hour and I am a little sad about it, but hey that is the way the cookie crumbles. So yeah I also got a new bike. A Voodoo Wanga with XT V-brakes, XT front and rear (gear changers) and some really cool stuff(including a Judy XT front shock)

6/19/96

Yeah well hey I am still here. I had a little troubles with the car and I am thinking that I will now need to fly back home with the car in tow from a auto-transport. So tell me kids where have all of you been. Right now I have been hanging out with Felicia and Sophia. They have been very good tome and I plan to get something for their birthdays(they are twins!!) so yeah now I that got past that we can move on. So tell me have you ever seen anyone do a stairmaster at full tilt? I have Felicia did the stairmaster 4000fj for 30 minutes strait on full power. I thought the thing was going to fall apart. Yeah I am starting to work out everyday so perhaps I will add a little online workout booklet as I can show to the world what I am doing minute by minute. I also got a book about Java programming so hopefully I will be really able to jazz the homepage up this summer.

These are the goals for the summer:
                                   Workout everyday
                                   Ride my bike
                                   Work on the homepage
                                   Learn Java
                                   Get a Job for next year
                                   Write everyone a lot
                                   Visit a whole lot of people
                                   Don't watch TV

So as it stands now... I have been going to Felicia's classes with her and then I have been pretty much hanging out in Evanston. It is pretty nice here. But it has been very interesting. People here are cool and the weather has been a little less than ideal, but on the 20th I will be arriving at the MSP airport on a flight form Midway to MSP leaving Midway at 9:30am. For those of you who are keeping track that is still in the Central time zone.
For those of you who I was supposed to do something with this week I hope you will understand. The car was completely dead and there was no way that I was going to be able to get back to MSP. I will be going to the wedding on sat. then I will see if Judy is still going to be around. If so I will head to the airport directly after the wedding then after Judy leaves I will rush to the reception and then dance the night away. If my spelling sucks that is just too bad. So tell me in a kind email where you spot them...your prize will be a reply saying thanks for the tip. So tell me what is going on out there. Let me tell you if there aren't any messages on my machine when I come home I will be very upset.

6/20/96

Went biking for the first time yesterday and I must tell you all apprehensions about spending the money on the bike melted away as I whipped down the trail and up to a platau and I just looked around and saw both cities at once, in a field filled with clover flowers, and tall grass. Wow. It was too cool. I rode my dad's bike this time but hopefully by monday the bike will arrive and I will be able to run into the mountain for the summer. Well i decided to get a job at a temp agency. Perhaps filing or coding HTML. What do you think? So yeah. I just got back today and it was really nice.
So now I am doing some much need laundry and do some needed working out.

6/24/96

Right now I am trapped for I want to pick up my bike today and I want to go riding tonight. I also have a wedding this weekend, should be some fun. Right now it is a super nice day outside but I want to get the phone call as soon as it comes in and I don't have an answering machine at the moment. So I went ot see Eraser last night it was alright I guess, kind of like all of the other Swartz movies. So I am in the big room now. Kind of neat. I have three windows. Room to move around and there will be room for my new bike and my old one too.
I am thinking of turning my old bike into an "art bike" you know ruin it, paint some crazy stuff on there, glue some other junk onto the frame. Do you think it is a good idea? I guess when i type it out it kind of sounds dumb but that is ok. So tell me kids what have you been up to. It sounds like the people that I have been in contact with have been keeping busy with Jobs and all, what about you. Email me and tell me what is up.

6/25/96

So yeah I got a strange e-mail from one Amy Yang yesterday. I got the biggest kick out of her page after all it is the only personal homepage that is more elaborate than mine! Check it out before it dies. I swear she has about 400 links on there. Another thing I find so amusing is that she lives a "love boat" lifestyle every week. You know going out to the clubs and so on. Kind of amusing. But yeah. I gues she found out about it through some asian online mag so that is pretty cool.
Right now I am sitting at home and I am really tired. I went out biking for an hour and then I had my bike fixed for two hours. The person at the other bike store that put it together didn't know what he was doing. So yeah. I am going to andrew's concert tonight at Bryant Lake Bowl, so if you want to come down to check it out it will start at 9 pm and it should be a great show. I am going with Jenny McGraw and I should have a lot of fun.
Tobin is just huge now I think I took a couple of pictures and if I can get the film developed soon I can scan them in this weekend. He is still a crosseyed cat.
I went to the concert and it was really cool. Also checked out my homepage from the CyberX cafe in MSP. Pretty neat. Overpriced drinkss for what I could do at home. So yeah I am so tired. I did a lap AROUND Minneapolis today. Took me about 3-4 hours. Depending if you count the stop at DQ. Well I am so tired and I am going to Sleepy.

6/26/96

I am tired again. Oh well, I only biked for an hour today, after all I had nowhere to go and it is very windy outside. But on the plus side I found some Mountain bike trails on the Mississippi, so that shoudl be cool to explore sometime. I was riding on this one trail and it just kind of dropped off into the Missippi, so i fell down. I also fell down yesterday when I tried to go UPSTAIRS. Not quite as easy as going down them. Oh well I just tried it cuz the kids on MTV could do it. Well I am going to give Judy this week as evidentally she didn't get my email.

6/28/96

I got an airconditioner and I am back online. I was totally fried the last few days and I am enjoying unseasonably cold weather right now. When I drove by the bank yesterday it claimed that it was 101 Degrees outside. All I had to do to convince my mom that it was a good idea, was to invite her over and then try to think of something to do. She nearly died(it is hotter in my house than outside) and we promptly went to Sears to get a Kenmore 6100 BTU airconditioner. I was actually able to get up at 7 today and go biking for 2 hours just because I was able to get some sleep last night. I also found a really neat trail right along the river and I took some pictures so hopefully there will be some more photos in about a week. I also didn't fall today.
I also spent some time this morning writing people in diffent places to see if they would want to set me up for the night. or a week, whatever works out for the best. So yeah. Hopefully I will be able to go to Houston, San Fransico, LA, North Carolina, and DC to visit Judy. But none of this can happen without your support. SO please call me of write me some email so that I may come and visit you. If you don't I will be forced to get a job for the summer and that is to be avoided at all cost.

6/29/96

Another scorcher in the Midwest. Man am I hot. I want to go out mountain biking, but I also want to stay alive. Another 100 degree day, and man is it humid. Well I am sitting pretty with my new airconditioner. and it is treating me quite well thank you. Well I am so tired so I will write more later. I know that no one will look today so I am safe. (other than the two people that do look during weekdays) and you know who you are.

7/1/96

I went biking with my brother yesterday, and I must be in a little better shape than before after all I was able to bike with out passing out like last time. Actually that is an overstatement, I only started to go black and then my ears started ringing really loud. This time I only felt as though I was going to pass out but none of the symptoms from before. Well I have like zero cash monies right now, so the internet is the cheapest means of entertainment I know. I am not going to watch TV this summer, and I am getting a lot done but I don't have anything that needs to be done. So tell me what is everyone up to over the July 4th weekend. I know in MSP they are having a car race downtown, should be pretty crowded so I am not sure I want to go. Also my friend from Rochester is coming up that weekend to really hurt me with the mountain bikes. However my bike is a lot lighter than his, but he has these big old shocks on the back too. So who knows, I will need to make sure it has a lot of uphill climbs in the ride. I am thinking that I will need to live someplace else next year unless I can find a person to live here with me. I was offered a place at this one girls apartment, but I am kind of wary of entering a one year lease with her. I am very afraid that she will go psycho and I will be dead in the morning. Maybe I should pitch a tent down by the river. What do yo9u all think? Well the big bike tour to Chicago left today, I found out it is best that I didn't do it. Guess how much they want you to raise...2300 dollars. Man that is a lot of money. Plus you know it is 450 miles too, that would kind of be a bummer in my current physical shape. Other than that not too much is happening around here. I am going to call around for some jobs today.

I just got slammed the yesterday when I tried to find a job. A temp agency didn't bother to say in their ad that they required atleast 2 years of professional experience. Oh well what are you going to do? Well tommorow is the big day of firework celebration, where are all of you going to go? I am just going to sit on a hill and get eaten by mosquitos all night. Well I am going to go out biking now becuase I should have left an hour ago and I have just been too lazy. Well not that it matters but I will write more this afternoon.

7/4/96

Well I am just dead tired again. But I just took a nap and I am getting ready to go out. My friend told me that today is the day that the most people have sex, but I think it would be New Years. Why don't you sign the bloody guestbook with your suggestions. You would almost think that no one was visiting my little section of cyberspace this summer. Nah couldn't be. Well I am not too sure about if I want to take control of my cash monies. Right now I have to clear everything with my mom first, and it has cost me about 20,000. I told her to sell apple at 50(it is now at 19) I asked her to buy encad(which quadrupled after I didn't buy any) and Iomega(which 8x in about 2 months) SO now that I think about it...It might even be 40,000. Oh well what would I do with the money anyway? Get a new computer that I don't need? Get a better bike(not really possible). I suppose I could use some new clothes but that is not going to kill me financially. I guess I had better just let it go. Just becuase I asked her to do all of these things and she told me that it was fine, instead of 16x my money it is now worth about 600 less than when I bought it. But I can't really get too upset about it. Becuase you can always say that you were thinking about getting a Netscape stock, but if you didn't really do it, you are still a hobo.
Well my roomate went to Chicago this weekend and I just sat there and said to myself "I could visit Felicia and Sophia". Oh well I didn't say anything. Well I am going to get ready for my big night...so goodnight all.

7/7/96

Yep. I biked to Wisconsin yesterday and I am really tired. I also am really bored. But that is OK. I did so much stuff the last couple of days I should just rest. So yeah does anyone know the best way to ship something overnight? For cheap? I don't suppose there is a way. OH well. What are you going to do. I am just bored out of my mind. I am going to go out and bike around.

7/18/96

Hey sorry I have not updated the page in so long. I am going to go to Iowa to visit my friend wendell this weekend. I am also be visiting Felicia Sept 1. and Julie will be there too. I am also thinking about visiting Julie when she goes back to Boston(just because I have never been there).I also want to visit Judy so I will need to see what is going on wi\ th that. So As it stands, I am going to be working on a homepage, so that should be fun. Well I would put up a picture of my friend Jenny's Hockey team but I accidentally promised her that I wouldn't post the picture on my webpage. So I am thinking that I will be able to get my photos back from Chicago soon so that I can add a little trip summary for the people that were not there at the time.

7/19/96

Well today is the big day! I am leaving tonight. Yep. I am also going to update my page to reflect the whole Chicago trip. As soon as Felicia sends me my camera back. And since everyone loves to correct my hastily written page feel free to send the corrections to me and I will just feel bad. Well more this afternoon.

7/21/96

Hi I got back from Iowa, and I am so bored. I should really not do anything this summer so that I won't be so bored when I come home. I think it should wear off soon. So I very excited there are big plans for the rest of the summer. I am going to Chicago and Boston to visit some of my favourite people. Also I am going to join a mountain bike race just so that I can finish one this summer. I have a job (well kind of) making webpages(I only am making one). And well, I don't really idealize my relationship with Kori anymore. Plus I don't really think that Josephine liked me. Believe me these are really big steps. Plus if you read this you are pretty lucky because I am not going to keep this up for long.

I am really happy right now. I feel good. I feel motivated. So enjoy my one or two days of optimism because it is going to end soon. Unless I meet someone soon. But I place much too much emphasis on it. I really should work on myself before I start messing around with anyone else. I think that one(of the many) problems with me is that I am not motivated. I don't think that people like that. Another, people don't like people with low self-esteem. Because if I don't like myself why should anyone else.And while I am spilling all of this pop psychology, why don't you add some to my coffers. Perhaps you have some gems of self improvement for me. Send me some email and tell me what I can do to better myself. I will take it to heart, since most of what is above comes from people to who I am always complaining.

So there it is a very different daily message I hope it made good reading, because I am going to take it down in a day.

7/26/96

Hello all. I have been really near Canada the last few days(about .5 miles away) So I have not been too near a computer as you can imagine. So I am thinking that I am going to just bike all weekend because I have nothing else to do. All of my pals are going to be out of town and I will not have a car. So I guess I will just be booking flights to Chicago and Boston over the weekend. So right now as you are reading this I bet I am eating a waffle. I must tell you they are really good food. And I am also going to make some french roast coffee, so I should have a very sugary and Caffiney(a word? I don't think so!) day. So right now I am going watch some more depressing olympics as people all the people who have trained for years and only one will walk away with the gold. That is just too bad.

Do you like the new toons there? You can write down any special requests and send them to me on my email and I will try to post them. I found the theme to Airwolf. Great American Hero. and Star Trek. All of them are pretty neat.

7/29/96

Well I am going to just freak out online today. I saw someone who looks like what I imagine Aileen(Julie's Sister) to look like. Let me tell you I was very freaked out. I didn't really think so at first but then the person smiled and I said to myself..."That looks like a Julie smile". So unless the patent ran out there is a clone of some sort on campus. Well maybe not a clone but a bud that dropped off then grew up kind of different. Well I am going to ask for confirmation from everyone so that I can get the show on the road. There will be no misunderstandings as I stand in a strange airport with nowhere to stay.

So I don't know if any of you know but there is big news in Felicia's life and she is not choosing to share it with me just yet. Also I am making a public call for Lydia Pan's address if she is not in Whitehorse Yukon. So as of right now my predictions have not turned true. I have no job to speak of, I have no place for next year(or more accurately I have to roomate. I don't know if I want to randomly look for a roomate as everyone I know already has plans for next year(and I might add has had them for quite a while). So if anyone wants to tranfer out here and live with me hey go right on ahead. But act quickly because I am going to need to move out in a month. Well I am sure that you will all be very happy to see me soon so I will log off for now and I will try to get a ride home so I can get something to eat tonight.

7/31/96

Well I crashed on my bike yesterday and I feel like crap. I landed right on my back and it was quite a thrill when the back of my head slammed onto the ground. I was biking real fast and then I saw that I couldn't make a corner, so rather than darting into traffic I took a right into the grass. However there was a hole where a tree once was, the whole had been covered up by weeds so I didn't see it. Well my front tire dropped in there and it didn't cause me to flip over, but it did knock my hand off of my handle bar and I pretty much just spun off of my bike. So now I have a pedal shaped bruise in my leg.

8/2/96

I am headed for the "Soul Food Cafe" today so wish me luck. THey are supposed to have the best gumbo and peach cobbler around. So I will have to check it out. Apparently I am going to have to send Felicia another camera as she did not take a picture of her new haircut. I guess that will be OK if I don't get one though. So I went mountain biking in the dusk hour, it was kind of scary I couldn't see anything. Then I tried to do jumps too but my back wheel wouldn't leave the ground(in other words I fear Death).

8/3/96

Added a new interface...it isn't done yet but it should be cool.

I want to check it out!!

8/11/96

Well the apartment search is on. I am really worried now. It seems as though it is more difficult to find a place then I had originally attempted. But then again I think this is the first place that I have actually had to look for. Well I am going to post my flight info for Chicago and Boston.

8/12/96

This is the button that I got when I checked out "The Beat Generation" at the Walker Art Center in Uptown. I am thinking right now that a place in Uptown wouldn't be so bad if I could learn how to use the bus system. I am really nervous about it, but it isn't like if it was difficult to go to school I wouldn't. ;)

The hunt continues as I have not found a place to live yet. I am really trying to get on this but it is really hard to find a place. Plus I am trying to find a place taht I can live in that is as nice as the on I am living in now.

8/14/96

YES!!!!

I think I have found a place to live. Instead of a crudy building, bad carpet, a funny smell, windows facing a wall, and many other pleasantries($450)...I will instead receive a living room facing the park, and on a corner, a dining room, a more substantial kicthen, clean, woodwork everywhere, buffet(I don't even know what I am going to do with that)
Added a cool table for my travel plans.

I want to visit Peter at the airport!!

8/15/96

Hey you know what today is? It is the day that I applied for my new apartment, so hopefully I will be approved and I will have to move in a month. I am not really looking forward to moving after all the place is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator in the building. So that will be OK except for the couch which will be quite a thrill. So I am kind of worried about the whole situtaion, after all I will need to move home then move into my place on the 15th of Sept. So as of yet I have fielded over 50 calls about the apartment thus far. I am not enjoying the process. I am have to talk about it with my landlord it must stop.

8/16/96

Here is some stuff that I have been working on for a job that I have. Check it out.
