Joe's Totally Bogus Web Page

Everyone seems to have a web page. I feel peer pressure to conform and so created this. How can you be a self-respecting geek without one?

Topics

Family:

• Joe's Paranormal Family [click here, but not before lunch] This page was created for my 10-year-old niece, to poke fun at her ghost-hunting father, and is more-or-less appropriate for that age. Now that she is 12, Linkin Park, Metallica and Guns 'n Roses have replaced Aaron Carter. Her parents await '13' with understandable trepidation. Her older sister is serving time in a minimum security facility upstate New York (www.geneseo.edu).

Friends:

• Theodore Kaczynski: Those late nights typing up the Manifesto, arguing about whether molecular biology or computer science presented the greater danger... those were the days! (attn. security office: just kidding!) Ted has been out-of-touch for a while. And his web page seems to be down, but some history (the college years) can be found at http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2000/06/chase.htm

Hobbies: (awaiting content)

• Virology

• Experimental Neurochemistry (attn. security office: just kidding!)

• Real-Time systems

Misc:

• Workplace Gossip Page

• ASD Page

Good things in my area of Paterson:

• desicafe
  Great South-Asian food and only a few blocks from my house. Rent a hookah for a post-dinner treat.
  If you are too young to know, a hookah is a water-filled pipe used to smoke tobacco or similar substances (attn. security office: just kidding!), not a euphemism for a sex-worker! Around here we refer to those people as 'certified massage therapists'.

• Ralph Piccolo's Pizza
  The pizza is decent, the Sopranos have filmed there (“Respect the pizza parlor...“) – and who else delivers pizza in a Caddie?

• E&V Ristorante
  Good Italian food. No longer BYOB (unfortunately) and plastic is not accepted.
  
  
  

Good things that are in Paterson (but are beyond my “that's too far from home” radius of 2000 feet):

• Lambert Castle
  Even cooler up-close than in the picture – a great local place for weddings.

• Great Falls
  The Great Falls at Paterson is a must-see. Yet another Soprano's film venue (“YASFV”); drug dealer thrown off pedestrian bridge to his death . [picture from an old postcard]

• Garrett Mountain Reservation
  Garrett Mountain is a nice place to hike. Offers great views.

• Rifle Camp Park
  Okay, Rifle Camp Park is actually in the next town (West Paterson). Nice view of Manhattan skyline.

• Lou Costello's statue
  (“YASFV”)

• Rogers Locomotive Works
  For locomotive-obsessives. Locomotives are behind the Paterson Museum.
