My Old Home Page (mcwetboy.com)

Between July 2001 and February 2011, my home page was at mcwetboy.com. Not everything from that site has been migrated over to this home page. But what hasn’t been migrated hasn’t gone away either. You can still click through to my sections about astronomy, reptiles, and hiking in the Canadian Rockies, and the archives of my old personal blog are still available. But the site is no longer being updated.
