Something
broke.
A Bugge doth crawl
B'neath the floor,
Thru twisted veins
Of earthen ore and ire.
Its pincers wrought
From thoughts untold,
Blank mechanism
Seizes hold:
Voracious jaws of taught
And

Web Site Blood Pact
I (the webmaster) solemnly vow to maintain this site in order to ensure it acts as an accurate reflection of my inner self, and as a way of connecting with others through the remarkable phenomenon of the open web.
Site does not track anyone: no analytics, cookies, or server logs are used. If you want to leave evidence of your visit, you may do so by writing an entry in the guestbook.
I do, of course, have the ability to rewrite history and distort reality to my will in the guestbook. Hopefully that's unneeded, tho, and the surprises are only delightful.
Site conforms only to my arbitrary aesthetic standards, and does not necessarily constitute a well-formed, standards-compliant HTML document. It is designed to be mostly navigable if JavaScript is disabled, and relies heavily on CSS f**kery.

Hello and welcome to my !
Remember to sit comfortably as you browse...
I've always been driven by a strong creative urge, and am fascinated by nature and technology. As an outlet, I create comics, electronic music, and pseudo-conspiracy websites, among other things.
Thru the years, I've survived being an altar boy, a scout, and homeless. I've bussed tables, dug holes, and biked/walked everywhere to make ends meet.
Currently, I'm fortunate to live in the Tennessee valley with my beautiful wife, and a few cats who think they own the place.
While this site comprises my personal projects, I've also been working lately on building a web design business.
Aside from that, if you want to collab or hire me, here are some other things I can do:
Anyway, have fun taking a look around and clicking on stuff. I'm an open book; reach out to me through e-mail if you want to talk about pretty much anything.
Cheers,
Ben
