Paul Wiegert's Personal Web Page

Welcome to a disorganized mish-mash of thought-fragments and (probably dead) links...Enjoy!

  • Dilbert is an all-too-realistic portrayal of modern working life. The tragicomedy of our times, it'll have you crying in your coffee. For an edgier experience, check out "Friends" meets "Animal Farm" chez Get Fuzzy. But for a seriously surreal experience, take a stroll down Ballard Street.
  • I was in Gitarama, Rwanda in August 2000 teaching English to local school teachers. Tim Hardy, a fellow volunteer, set up an illuminating travelogue of the trip here. And you thought you had it rough. Maybe you'd like to donate food for free at the Hunger Site?

  • Need a particular obscure astronomy research paper? You can find it at the NASA Astronomical Data Service. I'm guessing you probably don't though.

  • Sailing is what life is all about. Or at least it should be. Want to find out more? The Internet sure ain't going to give you any feel for it: Get off your duff and go and try it!

  • Spam (junk e-mail, not the fabulously tasty "meat" product) is one of the Three Thousand Minor Scourges of our time. Learn about fighting it here.

  • Being a scientist and a Christian, you might wonder where I stand on the creation/evolution debate. However, since I'm neither a theologian nor an anthropologist, why would you care what I think? Check out Yahoo's Creation vs. Evolution page for some links, from the wacky to the fascinating, on both sides of the topic.

  • Looking for something worthwhile to do with your time? Why not consider volunteering down at the Adventure Learning Center (ALC) in Nassau, the Bahamas? It's got to be better than what you're doing now...
  • Penny-whistling is fun down at the Chiff & Fipple What's a fipple? It's the part of the whistle you blow into. What's a chiff? Beats me. Maybe I'll try the harmonica...

  • I stole this image from somewhere, but lost the link (sorry).

    If I were a NetHack monster, I would be a floating eye. I see and sense absolutely everything that happens around me. I just don't do very much about it.
