Several people have suggested that I put my January 2003 Williams Trivia "Toys" bonus online for the amusement of all. While I did not come up with all of the ideas depicted, my family and I did set them all up at our house and I did the photography. The creation of this bonus was a long, exhausting, but very entertaining and fulfilling process. At long last, here it is, in its original form.
You may need to click on some of the images to figure out what they portray.
Oh - the overwhelming opinion of all players was that the figure next to Bert should have had a beard.
With that said, go now to:
Our Old Toys Do...Stuff

-- Pages/sites I've put together --
- My WOOT! contest submissions
~~~ NEW! ~~~
- Air's quilts & other crafts
- My family's
genealogy,
including my grandmother's Polish papers
- General genealogy info - lots of
links that I've compiled
- The Offleash Dogs Web Ring,
a set of linked web sites of offleash dog parks and people/groups trying to promote offleash areas for dogs
- Marvin Kagan Architect and
Associates (formerly Kagan-Sims Architects),
my dad's company, in Herndon VA
- Our neighborhood,
Bradley Farm, in Oak Hill VA - I originally did the site, but got too busy. I asked the Board to find someone else to take over.
The Board said I'd had too many things on the site that were getting out of date and were too hard to maintain, and that they wanted the site to concentrate on just neighborhood-specific stuff.
The folks who took over hacked it to death and very little of what I did - other than the color combos and basic layout - survived.
That was what, a year ago?
The site is still a mere husk of its former self; they have yet to make it work well. Go to the "Committees" page, for instance, and click on something. You get a new browser window! UGH. Look on my site here for a resurrection of some of the BF link pages I made.
- Lucy's Yard - our dog's site
- CTY folks (I was at Lancaster '83-'85)
- Williams College folks
- Assorted "cul-tcha" links - comics, cooking, the Style Invitational, literature (favorite poems & stories), TV, movies (Trek, X-Files), music, Twinkies and Pop Tarts and other stuff that's fun to play with
- Travel - where I've been or would
like to go (museums, cities, etc.)
- Places in & around DC; old stomping
grounds; inexpensive restaurants with good food
- Computer/Internet/techie stuff
- Egotism central - other Ariel(le)s on
the Web
- What do you like?
Dislike?
This is my survey...results get added to the aggregate (w/o your name
appearing for others to see)...
Eventually, there'll be lookups of some sort.
- My resume, although
I'm *not* currently looking for a job, and am currently too swamped
to consider freelance work (Perl/Python/HTML). A "fabulous offer"
in New York City is not what I'd want, either.
- Some of my
interview tips (warnings),
from personal experience - look under "hints, tricks & traps" and then
"more tips & mishaps"

PfP asks for a modest fee per bicycle to help cover shipping costs.
Both the fee and the bicycle's value (PfP will give you a receipt)
are tax-deductible. PfP's local headquarters is in Arlington VA; they
have additional headquarters in Ohio, Colorado, and New Jersey.
