Following are my own pages. Feel free to link to any of them. If you do so, it would be a good idea to send me email with an address where I can reach you if I ever decide to reorganize my URLs.

Et semel emissum volat irrevocabile verbum: Horace (65 BCE-8 BCE),
speaking with seeming prescience of the Internet. "And a word once uttered flies onward never to be recalled" (or, "You can't get back a word once you let it go"). |
Linguistics materials ______________
Useful stuff ______________
- Doing your own telephone wiring. This has by far been my most popular page, judging from the amount of email in response.
- A Cheaper SAD Lighting Solution: My solution for getting enough bright light for the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder.
- Recipes from the Penn Linguistics Department Fall 1995 Speaker Series. Desserts and Hors D'ouevres, mostly not very good for you.
- Square Dance Modules for Mainstream and Plus. My collection of modules for calling Modern Mainstream square dance. And here is my system for remembering 18 basic positions.
- A Spam Corpus, for programmers to use to help develop anti-spam software.
- Ambien appears to cause abdominal pains. A correlation which I worked out based on my own very bad experience with this prescription sleeping aid.
Family History ______________
- George Funderburg's life up to 1900: My great-grandfather's handwritten autobiography of childhood memories.

- Club Mac: Bad experience.
- Thinking in Celsius
- M-Day: The Day America Converts To The Metric System
- Three silly reasons for not adopting the metric system
- Could the eagles have flown Frodo into Mordor?
- The Newtown Square Branch: A defunct rail line in Delaware County, PA which I think would make a super bike trail.
- The evil gas pump: Deliberately bad user interface design for fun and profit.
- Der Tag der großen Arbeit: Lyrics from a curious song from the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany).
- Differences between sugar and Sucanat in promoting yeast growth : An experiment Dennis and I did at home to figure out why the bread wasn't turning out.
- Salvador Dali's For and Against List. I don't necessarily agree with all of his preferences, but it's a very interesting list.
- Consumer Warfare: How to deal with unwelcome telephone and mail solicitations
- The Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution
- Don't Buy Cybersitter. A listing of the file which the program Cybersitter uses to censor web pages from view.
- A true story about a man who was convicted and sentenced to prison for the crime of having oral sex with his own wife.
- Rusty is a homosexual (Lots of pictures; takes a while to load over a slow connection.) This has probably surpassed the phone wiring page (above) as the page I've gotten the most email about. Thanks to the hundreds and hundreds of you who wrote with your appreciation. What can I say to the three or four of you who took it literally and wrote to object?
- Betrussica. I get strange reactions to this. A former roommate asked me in a distressed voice, "Why did you write this?" My mom said it sounded like something that a deranged person would write. Dennis just grinned at it.
