Brendan Connell's über-3133t Snazz-o-Matic Home Page!
Welcome! You've stumbled upon my thoroughly antiquated Web presence. From the
fall of 1994 until mid-2000, this page was simply known as "Brendan
Connell's Home Page". How boring! (So 1994!) As you can
see, I've decided to "spice things up" a bit. Expect more exciting
changes next time I get around to it--that is, probably never!!
Anyway, below, there's a partial list of what my site has to offer.
(It sure beats the guess-a-URL-and-check method!) If you want to learn more about
me and my interests, OR, if you just like to click on the
little underlined phrases, please get professional help immedia--I mean,
here's your chance!
- What's New
- Discover what changed during the last update: July 14, 2000!
- Personal Information
- My own biased and antiquated impressions of myself. (Warning:
may be a potent soporific! Visit at your own risk!)
- College Courses I've Taken
- Want to see what I've been studying? Or, do you go to
college with me, and want to know
which courses I liked (and which ones I didn't?) Well then, too
bad, because I haven't finished writing this page yet!
- Brendan's Amazing On-Line Anagram Generator
- Type in a phrase, and this handy contraption will generate anagrams of
it. (An anagram is a word generated from another word by re-arranging the
letters.) Among other dubious uses, BAOAG can unearth hidden meanings...
meanings limited only by your imagination! For example, an anagram of
"ROBERT DOLE" is "ELDER ROBOT"....hmmmmm! Try it!
You might want to start with your name, or perhaps someone else's.
- Brendan's On-Line Phone Anagram Generator
- In my grand tradition of providing absolutely useless services to
the Web community, absolutely free, I have hacked together an interactive
phone number anagram-izer. If you've every tried to find letter equivalents
for your phone number, or someone else's -- then not only do you have
way too much time on your hands, but you also just might want
to try this!
- The Blair CTY Page
- If you went to CTY, you have a pleasant surprise coming your way.
Another Blair student, Melissa Hao,
came up with the idea for this page about when I did. So instead of
battling it out like VHS and Beta, we made this page jointly.
- American Pie Archives
- My shrine to the song by Don McLean. (My interest in American
Pie grew out of the fact that CTY traditionally plays it at the
end of each dance...)
- My Quotes Page
- I finally decided to put random bits of my quotes collection,
normally found on numerous scraps of paper, on my Web page.
Enjoy! [warning: way out-of-date]
- The Twelve Inch Discs FAQ
- The Twelve Inch Discs were Montgomery Blair's unofficial Ultimate Frisbee
team during the 1997-1998 school year. They were a cause dear to my heart,
because 1)Ultimate rocks, and 2)I was (woohoo!) the (co-)captain! We played
two seasons in WAFC--the Washington Area
Frisbee Club--and managed to thoroughly enjoy ourselves, despite getting
demolished by various teams whose members were older (and bigger) than we were.
During the summer of 1999, we played in a local league, and won the
Spirit of the Game
award! The team lives on today.
- The PC Demos Page
- The PC demo and module scenes have sadly passed away. Several factors
contributed to their demise, including (IMHO) the availability of fast, cheap
computer hardware, the rise of graphical operating systems, and the loss of
the home PC's "hobbyist" status. Still, this page lives on.
It contains dated PC demos and modules for people who were once into the
demoscene--and information on it for people who weren't.
- My finger information
- Sick of outdated information on this homepage? Well, here's your answer!
Thanks to some finger gateway magic, you can now read my
outdated
finger information instead!
- Why I Don't Update My Pages More Often
- My vehement diatribe against the sort of "progress" that has
hurt the Internet in the past few years. (Disclaimer: don't worry--I'm not
as angry as it might seem. In fact, I'm generally pretty even-tempered; my
ranting and raving here apparently surprised some friends. =)
- Completely Outdated Pages
- Thanks to my, um, less-than-rigorous homepage-maintenance schedule,
I had to remove links to at least 10 pages of mine that were hopelessly
out-of-date. Sorry... =)
- Access Count
- This page, which originated in late 1994, has been
accessed at least times
since June '95.
