Someone fillimg in a form

Hello Unknown Visitor,

Thanks for stopping by. Take a look around and make yourself at home, just shut the lights off when you're done. Oh, and be sure to leave me a quick reply before you go, even if it's just to say 'hey', I'd still like to know you dropped in.

About the H2G2 Community

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'" - Jack Kerouac


Aztlan - Mythical Homeland of the Aztecs

About Myself

That quote pretty much sums up how I feel about this site and the people on it. It's a mad enterprise and I'm excited to be part of it. My name is Don, I'm 38, and I live in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA, which is a lot more interesting than you probably think. I'm currently self-underemployed and I spend most of my free time riding my bike or drinking Guinness at my local pub. My favorite color, and my towel, are green. Here are some more quotes by people who have said things better than could.


Lord Byron

About the Guide

"Whatever talents a person may possess to amuse or instruct others, be they ever so inconsiderable, he is yet bound to exert them: if his attempt be ineffectual, let the punishment of an unaccomplished purpose have been sufficient; let none trouble themselves to heap the dust of oblivion upon his efforts; the pile they raise will betray his grave which might otherwise have been unknown." - Jim Sundeen


Clouds in the sky

About Religion

"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people." - Karl Marx

"Death should be held of no account, for it brings but two alternatives; either it utternly annihilates the peron and his soul, or it transports the spirit or soul to someplace where it will live forever. What then should a good man fear if death will bring only nothingness or eternal life." - Marcus Tullius Cicero

About Politics

"While there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." - Eugene Victor Debs

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." - Freidrich Nietzsche

"There can be no daily democracy without daily citizenship." - Ralph Nader

First Edited Entry (Sep 8, 2004)
My first entry made it into the edited guide yesterday - 'The MoPac Bike Trail, Southeast Nebraska, USA'. Metric distances and a link were added, but otherwise it looks pretty much like it did when I submitted it. Thanks to all who helped out. ale

First Submission (May 16, 2004)
I just submitted my first entry, an article about the MoPac Bike Trail. I had intended to put it in the Writer's Workshop, but Number Six at the Royal h2g2 Geographical Institute suggested I put it directly in Peer Review, so I made a few last minute changes, corrected some typos, and sent it off for consideration for inclusion in the Edited Guide.

First Entry - June 23rd, 2003 (Jun 23, 2003)
I've been searching the Guide for ideas for my first submission, what a cool site! Lincoln already has an entry, and a good one at that, written by Irmo. All the other subjects I'm familiar enough with to write about off the top of my head are pretty much covered as well. I was in hopes that I'd get at least one 'gimmie' subject, but I guess I'll have to start researching right away.
