Even though I live and breathe the latest technologies, I still enjoy old stuff. Why? Partly because I grew up in a small rural town, partly thanks to the influence of my parents & grandparents, partly through my love of history, and partly as an interesting contrast to our lives today. To show that love for the past, I've included photos at the top of my home page—every time you load the home page, you get a new photo.

Where are the pictures coming from? Virtually all of them are in the public domain, from government websites and other collections. We paid for 'em—might as well use 'em!
