About this site:
Heartfelt and loving thanks go to Joshua
E Seaver for letting us use his Freehands Tarot
paintings © 1997 (scanned acrylics) to beautify this site.

All other graphics on this site are original
photographs by Darren & Sandy, or artistic creations
by Darren. Some of the images in the Left Hand
Path section are copped off of various sites on the 'net.
These are noted, and links are made to original sites when
possible.
This is not a blog site in the
strict, technical sense. I am not exhibitionistic
enough to write my personal diary on-line. I do write
some political, ethical and religious rants, and I do modify
those documents after original publication. Instead of
a blog, this is more like an internet homunculus or
alchemical experiment where my philosophical and gardening
ideas can be expressed. Readers are welcome to send me
e-mail comments, but I'm not interested in having a blog
style, open forum of posting comments to my rants. I
do like to receive e-mails, and I enjoy receiving
interesting links, especially to news and political
information.
Privacy Policy: This is a 100% non-commercial
web site maintained completely at my own expense for the
sake of sharing information and my opinions. In the
past, I used Vioclicks.com to track usage on many pages
on this site. No personal information was collected,
nor e-mail addresses. Above all, I do not send out
spam, nor do I ask users for money for anything. Vioclicks
did not provide the identities or e-mail addresses of users.
I tracked the usage out of merely egoistic curiosity. It's
fascinating to see what people search for when they come
to a web site like this one. It also helps me see
what sort of material attracts users. Interestingly,
this site ranks surprisingly high on search engines for
various topics. I have never advertised it. No tracking information is collected
at this time.
This is a completely non-profit web site operated
at our expense for the sake of opening and warping minds.
No advertisements will be placed here and there is nothing
to buy. This web site does not earn us any money.
We maintain it out of the mere goodness of our hearts, and
a desire to share our biased opinions.
What to send and what not to send us:
Please don't bother sending me advertisements in hopes that
I will post them for you, though I will be glad to post
links to other informative, interesting and unusual sites
that are not bursting with gif billboards and pop-ups
There are a few exceptions to this here, but I can't help
it if a site with good content has the bad taste to cover
their site with tacky animated gifs and banners. Web
awards, Ring memberships and CGI scripts are negative factors
in my rating system. We are interested in content
with a minimum of strings attached. Unfortunately,
some good sites are on free hosts with annoying pop-ups
and such, but that is preferable to large scale commercial
sites whose primary goal is to get your credit card number. If
that is the kind of site you are promoting, or suggesting,
I will ignore it.
We do not appreciate being sent internet chain
mail. For those of you who are not aware, none of
it is legitimate. Forwarding e-mails to everyone you
know does nothing other than consume bandwidth. No
socially redeeming purposes are achieved that way, and huge
amounts of bullshit are floating around. I do not
forward anything to anybody that anybody sends me, unless
it is exceptionally educational and I have checked the facts.
I recommend that you do likewise to avoid sending sucker
mail. Check these sites first: Google,
About.com urban
legends and Break
the Chain.
