Websites updates, and an RIP
Today I updated my homepage and hotlist. They'd both been getting fairly ragged and were very outdated, so it was time. I also tightened up both pages a bit, hopefully without making it too dense to be useable.
Sadly, one of the things I discovered when going through my hotlist links was that Gary Bourgois, the "Eccentric Old Hippy" of satellite radio, passed away last year. I knew his wife had died earlier in '05, and apparently his health went downhill quickly after that. Gary for many years ran a radio program called SkyBird Radio which was a lot of fun to listen to online - he was basically doing podcasts before there was such a thing. He was also a long-timer on USENET, and some of my favorite alltime-posts were his. Here's some favorites:
Letters to Myself (Repost) (Long)
How I found True Love (Just a tad Lengthy)
How to overcome the feeling that oneself is unattractive
RIP Gary, you'll be missed.
