Welcome to my circa 1996 home page! You are visitor number:

I really did create this back in '96, and just can't get myself to update the style.
Do a "view source" and check out those capital letter HTML tags!
Read on and I'll tell you a little about myself...

Family

Any (hopefully, no promises) current family stuff will reside here.

Movies

As they accumulate, I'll post any really good movies I see below...

Check out some of the best movies I've seen.

Comic Books

Well, I spend a lot of time reading comic books. Just one of those things - been doing it since I was really young. Comics aren't really recognized by many people as a serious art form. And I'll be the first to admit, there sure is a lot of crap out there. But for us lucky ones that have somehow been exposed to some of the quality books, well, to us it's a form of magic. For the few of you who can relate, or for the morbidly curious, here are a few links:

Sorry, had to temporarily delete this hopelessly outdated link.

Coming soon, my 5 all time favorite comic book covers.

Music

I also like to listen to music. All kinds really, but for the most part rooted in good old rock 'n roll. If you want to hear me ramble more on music, you could:

Oh yeah, I play or have played in these three bands as well: The Wickershams, Grim Frog, and Spank.

Miscellany

I decided to write a (hopefully) simple explanation for Global Warming.

Below, you'll find Louie and Ellie, my mom and dad. Louie is... well - very, very eccentric. I've compiled a list of famous Louie quotes from over the years to prove it. Don't get us (the rest of the Jasmin family) wrong, we love him - it's just hard to deny the fact that he's a nut!

God love 'em!

Some stuff I find amusing

Slightly tweaked comic book covers.
Marmaduke explained.
The Replacements shaved eyebrows interview.
Maybe you had to live through it, but these Weight Watchers food cards are classic.

The obgligatory interesting places to visit.

SSEC
The main page for the place I work, the University of Wisconsin Space Science and Engineering Center
IMDB
The Internet Movie Database. Got a favorite actor or actress? Want to see a filmography for them, with ratings for each movie? This is the place.
Nostomania
Free comic book and coin collection management with pricing based on actual sales!
Since there were no decent tools for collection management, and no accurate pricing that reflected the true market, I founded Nostomania.com to provide these tools free to collectors.
