I've created this page to keep track of books, links, people, ideas, art, services -- and more -- that I'm fond of.  Nearly everything here is something I know well, use, or own -- now or in the past.   Nobody pays me in any way to be listed here.

I have a way of losing track of these things, so I'm hoping this page will help me keep them at my fingertips.  Maybe you'll like some of them too.
