http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/Welcome to my little piece of the Internet. And welcome back to those who've found thier way back to my new URL. Yes, I have new ISP and it's cheaper and more reliable by far. If you live in Houston and you need a new provider, check out GHG Corp. They have really good rates and I've never had a problem with them. If you've seen my page before, you might notice a few changes but don't worry...it's still full of the same silly stuff! And speaking of silly, here's my mandatory link to an official Monty Python Homepage.
Most of my images are links so drive carefully and have fun!


For all of the late breaking news and other stuff take a peek at TheFogcutter Picayune
And for a quick look at Houston'sTraffic....

Did I mention already that I live in Houston? So sue me. God help me....I like it here. One of the major reasons I like it so much is our local sports franchises. Check out my Houston Sports page for more info. Congratulations to the 1998 Central Division Champs. With the addition of home town favorite Ken Caminiti the Stros' are poised to have another great season.

Approximate days left till the start the 1999 Season Opener

What's the best place in Houston to go for a drink and get away from that damn traffic? Well the best place I know of is the TheGinger Man. In my opinion, it's the best pub in town so if you to come to Houston, be sure and check it out, it's the closest thing to a real pub this side of the Atlantic. Chances are you might see me there. I sincerely apologize to the G-men for not updating thier page as often as I'd like.  Next time the drinks are on me guys. While your here, check out my list of things that don't suck. There's some things you might like, and if you can view Java apps...the logo is cool! http://pekkel.uthscsa.edu/beer/beer/yellowrose.html
One of my favorite things in this world is Beer. I like brewing it, drinking it and talking about it and if you do too then let me know.  Anyone interested in swapping recipes or brewing techniques, feel free to send me some E-mail

Another thing I love talking about is music, and if your ever in Houston and you like Celtic music, (you know, the stuff they play in Scotland and Ireland) make sure and try to catch a local band we have here called Clandestine. They are a treat to catch live. Equally impressive though definitely not Celtic is an incredible female vocalist named SusanWerner.   She's an incredible song writer as well as a heck of a performer.  I've had the chance to see her live a few times including twice at theKerrville Folk Festival. If you're anywhere near Texas around Memorial Day, I wholly recommend making a trip to the festival. Both of these great artists can be seen periodically here in Houston at McGonigel's Mucky Duck which in my opinion is one of the best venues in Houston to watch live music.  Another group to look for there and elsewhere isTrout Fishing in America. They are fantastic but you have to see them live to really appriciate them.
Let's see...beer, music...what's left? Oh yeah...the Internet.  I seem to spend a whole lot time on here lately. I like to explore it all.  I do spend a lot of time on the IRC though and if you have some time, check out my Zen and the art of IRC page. It's just a collection of my own opinions. 
I'm also a Geographer by proffesion and I love maps and things geographic. Click on the compass to go to a really cool mapping page. It Rules! You can find anywhere you want by street address, Domain or E-mail address, or City/State. You can customize and print out your maps as a gif! Like I said...it Rules! And of course the best place to find many types of Internet software is Winfiles.com


Welcome to Fogcutter's Soon-to-be-Famous Beer Survey

In support of the current beer renaissance in America, I thought I'dtake a little poll to see what kind of beer (if any) most Web-heads are drinking. I'm going to try and catagorize as best I can but I plan to take some liberties as well. If you notice a catagory that's missing or find a beer that's in the wrong one, mail me and I'll do my best to correct it. Most importantly, I'm going to need your help. I'm listing most of the beers that I know and love already but basically I'm lazy and I don't have time to do a lot of research. So please write in any beers that I have left out, even if they are not your favorite. Each week I will tabulate the results and graph them accordingly. Why am I doing this? Why not, and besides I want to see what kind of tastes y'all have in beer.
