...Welcome! Web Zone Number 9... is your web zone. I believe it was that great Roman orator, Bill Shakespeare, who once proclaimed on the eve of the American Revolution: "It ain't over till it's over." 

And I'm sure that during your stay in this fine corner of cyberspace, you'll not find a more fitting nugget of wisdom! So on that note: thanks for visiting, stand by for weirdness, and try the space veal!

The Star Wars page - If this site were a solar system, this would be the sun: Drawings, writings, top ten lists, javascript stuff, and other assorted wackiness. I'll readily admit I'm obsessed, but I like to think I'm not that close to taking the plunge into the lava of lost-cause status.

The Comics and Animation page - Includes original celeb caricatures, because as former music network VH-1 can attest to, we just can't get enough of celebrities. Also a brief mention and link to my old online comic strip.

The TV & Movies page - Favorite shows and movies, and various creative odds and ends.

The Extras page - Favorite music, a very short list of non-athletic Alaska celebrities, wacky web links, and anything else that doesn't fit into the above. Think of it as an internet junk drawer.

The Sports page - This page has become rather outdated, last updated back when my favorite teams were still known as the Anaheim Angels and Anaheim Mighty Ducks. The section also includes an equally outdated list of athletes to have come out of my home state of Alaska.

Contact page - If you'd like to leave a message, please head here.

"So just where are Web Zones Number 1-8," you ask? Well, let me assure you that it's not an oversight on the part of the interstellar cartographic community! "Number 9" just helps give this site that '50s sci-fi B-movie panache that we all need more of in our daily lives. That, and it's alliterative. But that's not all!

It's the number of the plan that Ed Wood's aliens brought with them from outer space. It's also the number of innings in a baseball game, and the number of players in the lineup (stupid DH). It was the number worn by Ted "The Splendid Splinter" Williams. And Bobby "The Golden Jet" Hull. And Gordie "Mr. Hockey" Howe. And Maurice "The Rocket" Richard. Not to mention various football and basketball players!

It's the number of the cloud you're on. It's the number of lives a cat has. It's the number of yards you try to go wholly. It's what a stitch in time saves. It's the number of the Revolution that marked the Beatles' wackiest track ever. It's the number of the Love Potion.

It's the number of planets in our solar system (or was, anyway). It's the only number that, when adding the digits of any of its multiples, always results in itself (9x7=63. 6+3=9). It's the number of digits in your social security number. And, yes, it's even the number of Clementine's shoes.

But most importantly, it's the number of the external camera rocket in Mystery Science Theater 3000 (which itself may have been in reference to an old song, but no one seems to know for sure). So I guess that explains it. But it's also my numerological "life path" number (which is utter crap, but what the hey). And it's the number of my birthday. That works too. 9.
