The Mixelania section will feature stuff that doesn't fit in other parts of this site: A photo archive/showcase section, tips on getting the most out of your digital camera, info about some of my more serious hobbies (including wine and beer making, building models, racing little tiny r/c cars, mountain biking, camping and more), some pictures from my extreme youth, and tons of other associated stuff.

Stay tuned, it's gonna be all new.

Kyosho MiniZ RC Racing
October 2002

I never owned an R/C car until this year, when I took advantage of the eToys.com implosion and their final, blowout sale. I bought a dozen of the Tyco "Canned Heat" cars for a song. I soon discovered that I really liked toolin' around with these cars, but I also discovered that I wanted something a bit more.

Archived Mixelanium
January 2002

Old content doesn't go away, it just gets shuffled around. In the Archived Mixelanium area, you'll find old content that is no longer, well, "valid" for lack of a better word. Sometimes it's old advice for old technology, sometimes it's about things I no longer own or do. But it still has a home around here :)
