[Here’s mine.](http://www.yarbrough.org/) It’s strictly job-whoring for the game industry. I’m actually taking this week off to update it- so, with any luck, it’ll look a lot better by the end of the week. ---

[My site](http://www.thefoxworthys.com) is aimed mostly at family and friends but the recipes get quite a few hits from all over. I’ve been meaning to add a few recipes, but about the only things that get any attention these days are the Sea Fox log and gallery. I occasionally get found by other genealogists and it’s always a pleasant surprise to find a new distant cousin out there. The Sea Fox pages should get more interesting once we begin cruising. ---

> [@Sternvogel](#): > > You got the “Quote of the Moment” wrong – it’s actually Hmmm. I’d swear I heard it the other way, though I admit I was working from memory. Maybe Mel said it a couple of different ways in different contexts. Shrug. Actually, I’m only working on memory that it was Mel Brooks. Also, I think “my” version is pithier; with “…a piano falls on you” the ‘you’ at the end places greater emphasis on the point of reference–that comedy is what happens to the other, not to the ‘me’ in question. Of course, I’m not even sure why this matters. I get caught up in the smallest details! ---

I’ve been blogging for almost three years, but I change URLs with ludicrous frequency. Last week I switched over to my new domain, [information-bureau.com](http://information-bureau.com); I didn’t migrate the three years’ worth of old posts, but it’s got links to my Flickr page and a bunch of short little Web-movies I’ve made. > [@WomanofScorn](#): > > [These](http://www.flickr.com/photos/20801666@N00/) are my photographs at Flickr 😃 Your dog is lucky to have such a talented photographer for a buddy. > [@JpnDude](#): > > I have shameless plugged it a few times before, but here it is again. A fansite for Tokyo Disney Resort, the theme parks here in Japan. There are thousands of photographs and lots of videos for download (all family friendly). However, none with me in them. Enjoy!

Re the Mel Brooks quote which I (and many others, as a Google search confirms) have heard/read as “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die”: > [@Not A Tame Lion](#): > > Hmmm. I’d swear I heard it the other way, though I admit I was working from memory. Maybe Mel said it a couple of different ways in different contexts. … Also, I think “my” version is pithier; with “…a piano falls on you” the ‘you’ at the end places greater emphasis on the point of reference–that comedy is what happens to the other, not to the ‘me’ in question. I’m not doubting that Mel may have, at times, made the piano reference you remember – comedians often tinker with their lines. However, my greater point is that the sentiment of the quote _as it appears on your page_ is reversed by the transposing of the two genres being defined. It would be fine to rephrase the comparison as “_Tragedy_ is when I prick my finger. _Comedy_ is when a piano falls on you.” As you realize, the point is that anything that happens to the speaker is magnified, while anything that befalls “somebody else” is easily dismissed or trivialized. ---

Wow, talk about stupidity. I never even realized that I had transposed the subjects–I just thought you were saying that I misquoted for meaning. I now officially declare myself King Retardo, Emperor of an Incredibly Stupid World. See folks, this is why you should tread with caution with this whole web page thing: you can wind up making yourself look like even more of an idiot than you really are. I have corrected the quote, according to your previously stated reading. Now I just need to find a new quote… ---
