Undergoing Constant Renovation

Ok, this is taking longer than the Big Dig and just about as leaky. One thing this has done for me is to convince others at the Design School that I can do a bit of web work on the side, that's, of course, if they want web pages that look like a Chinese News Kiosk. Some of the stuff on my links page goes nowhere, all those cool pages gone forever and my stuff is still. . .you get the picture. I've had some complaints from the band that my Man pages aren't as up-to-date as they could be. This was originally planned as a tribute to a band that broke up over 20 years ago, but once they realized that there were a lot of us out there who still cared they came back and are cranking out new albums (and further reissues of their old stuff) at a pace I'm having trouble keeping up with. Just added some Java goodness to the image at the left, drag your mouse about, if you click you go to the cool frood who designed the applet. Will do some more touching up when I get a break from the other web work. Till then "Keep watching the skies."

Bob's All Beef Hot Links

Have moved to a place of there own where they have more space, don't have to listen to old German rock bands at all hours, and can use the bathroom anytime they want.


The Man Home Page at Room 101

The best San Francisco band ever to come from Wales, their history, their albums, and the legend they struggled to live down.


Bob's Video Wasteland

All the films that fit the apartment. Over 5,000 titles (more than 1/4 of what Lenny Maltin has) of every type of film imaginable. Not a video club, just a personal obsession. This is a alphabetical listing of my personal collection.  With special lists for Letterboxed films, Jackie Chan, Mystery Science Theatre 3000, Computer Colored Films and Laser Discs.


Virtual Realty

Bob's needs a roommate, Again!!! Check out the flyer as seen on lampposts all over Cambridge. This dream home might be someone elses, but Bob's place is really nice, and doesn't have that big lawn to mow.


The Angilly Family Crest & Curse

The history and mystery of the Angilly clan. In all its glory. Includes links to a second family crest and a family history compiled by a team of crack Canadian geneologists (actually they thought they were studying to be gynecologists but didn't realize their mistake until it was too late.)

 

  The Angilly Family Internet Photo Album

Includes photos of my own family taken at Mom and Dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary, photos of Richard and Natica's Poetry Dance Theatre from California, and John Angilly and his family from Chorley, England, and historic photos of 19th century Angilly's looking very Merchant Ivory.


Coming soon (or at least in the dreaming of stage)

Squalor: the Magazine of Low-Cost Urban Living

How to decorate with cinder blocks and old milk crates. Where to cruise for used furniture on trash day.  How to live comfortably if not well in a modern urban environment and still have money left for food.
