It looks like this "blog" will be expanding as two new members, Messrs. Jones and Lewis, have joined the team. I've mentioned Alex Jones in past posts, but will add here that he will be posting messages one-handed, since losing the other in a horrible dryer-riding accident. Walter Lewis is performing with the Expanded Hemingway Company, who show us the humor that should have been in the all-too-short works of Ernest Hemingway. If I'm forgetting something, gentlemen, please feel free to correct me.

While we wait for a response, I'll take this opportunity to clear out some links that have been sitting in my inbox for a while. First is Infectious Awareables, who sell neckties with patterns influenced by various pathogens and diseases. A bit too much electric blue for my tastes, but some are kinda nice looking. Next is the follow-up to some of the Gerry Anderson/Conrad Cthulhu stuff I posted a while back, it's The Skaro Toy Museum: a collection of marketing devices and merchandizing from the long-running "Doctor Who" television series that we (St. Louisans) used to watch and scoff every Sunday night back in the '80's. Finally, two sites to compare and contrast: Mumford Micro Systems and P.W.B. Electronics. Bryan Mumford refers to himself as "The Crackpot Inventor," yet has some really fun looking gadgets on his site. Peter Belt appears to be absolutely serious about his "devices," which are little more than magic markers and mylar.
