So that's what those teeny, tiny links on the main page are about. I'm going to try to squeeze out lots and lots of autobiographical post-it notes. Sounds like a mess? You ain't heard nothing yet.

I have this really wankin' idea (that's what Uncle Badger says when he means "way cool"). I'm going to take all these little fragmentary memorrhoids, shake them up in a big brown paper bag, and link them to each other in different ways. Thusly:

The arrows next to the "textual" button will take you forward and back through the entries in "text" order — the order I wrote them — giving you a tantalizing glimpse into the Mind of Weasel. I think this is the best way to go through, even if it doesn't make the most coherent story.

The "temporal" button will take you through the entries in chronological order — in, as near as I can nail it down, the actual order things happened. One day, this path will link up into complete and tonally jarring stories.

And the "topical" path is grouped in some kind of editorially plausible manner by broad subject matter, as reflected on the front page. I badly wanted to write code to make this part link up in multiple strange and amusing ways, but I'm leery of putting scripts in web pages. The technology dates so fast, and some day (last week) I'm going to wake up too old and stupid to update my code.

Sometimes, the universe is in sync and all three links will go to the same place. Sometimes, it'll be a kooky random fistful from the grab-bag of mustelid consciousness.

So! Idiotic? Twee? Pointless? Cute? Unbearably pretentious? You bet — it's all those things! But not to worry. I'm so feckless and lazy, I'm guessing this thing won't last six months.

Ready? Let's wank!

(If you can come up with better labels for these concepts, please jot them on a 3x5 card, fold it in half length-wise, enclose it in a self-addressed, stamped envelope and jam it up your weasel. Thank you!).
