'Bred Crumbs

05:50 PM It's a shame there's no organization to historically preserve websites as there is for old buildings; if there were, there might be a way to realistically save the Trojan Room coffeepot page, the webcam that started it all.

When I finally discovered the HeroMachine the other day, I knew its moment in the Web sun had come a couple weeks earlier, but I hadn't had the time or disposition then to check it out.

10:42 PM An old DangerBoy's footsoldier makes its triumphant return: my ongoing ranking of the state quarters. It's refreshed and updated, and it's in the 'Bred Box.

In other site news, in just two months the Crumbtents has already grown so big that it needs two pages. You are using the Crumbtents, aren't you? Aren't you?
