About
I enjoy my tools. They make my life better if I chose well. Here are a selection of what I rely on for various sundry aspects of my life, public and private.
Many of my sources are older, analog, and even out-of-print. I want these because newer sources may discard older references for contemporary — and thus trivial to find — selections.
This page is the epitome of a work-in-progress.
