Weimer World last updated 11-Dec-2006 09:15 PM

All of my efforts at webpages evolved from my original attempts to create a personal Start Page, this page in fact. Evolved from a single home page starting on August 22,1996 Weimer World and its allied sites together now have more pages than a Peter F. Hamilton (or Robert Jordan) novel! Well, almost...

The Music Page. Mindspring has given me more lebensraum, and so I have moved this back to Mindspring. New Location, same great Midis.

Some Quick Facts about me

  1. I am 34 years old, and after a longtime residence in Staten Island, NY , I currently live in Circle Pines, MN! Yes, this is what happens when you don't update your main page in a while. I have taken a big plunge and now live in Minnesota.
  2. I don't have any pictures yet of this weird world, but I hopefully soon will!
  3. I was, and will be again,a graduate student in Education...Elementary Education in Science to be precise. I hold a BA in Biology. My Alma Mater
  4. My non-computer interests include SF/Fantasy , Amber (not the mineral...), Greek mythology, Celtic culture, Professional Football, Astronomy and lots, lots more. I love computers, else why would I have learned HTML? :)
A dodecahedron

If I was a noble or a knight in medieval times, my heraldic device would likely be a dodecahedron, this 12 sided platonic solid to the right, to symbolize my diversity of interests. Yeah, I know there are lots of geometric solids with even more sides, but the dodecahedron is my favorite. As you might expect, I like heraldry as well, as you also can see from the Fleurs on the background.

Science Fiction and other literary pursuits

I love to read Science Fiction and Fantasy. I have read them ever since my older brother gave me a copy of the Martian Chronicles back when I was 8 or 9. Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, Tolkien, and a myriad of others soon followed. Heck, I managed the feat of reading the entire Lord of the Rings in a weekend (since the animated version was going to be on TV, and I wanted to be prepared)

What do I like today? My current favorite living authors include Peter F. Hamilton, Greg Bear, and Harry Turtledove to name just a few.

My absolute favorite sub-genre of SF is the Alternate History. It was in vogue a couple of years ago in a really big way, which meant that a lot of good novels came out in the sub-genre. Of course, this also means people like Newt Gingrich published SF novels of this theme, but, what can you do?

Athena--Goddess of Wisdom Also, since I was young, I found myself drawn into the world of Greek Mythology. From Apollo to Zeus, from the Muses to the Maenads, I like the stuff. Celtic Mythology , that is folks like Arianrhod and the stories of the Mabinogion are also another interest.

Amber

I love this game, based on the late, great, Roger Zelazny's 10 Novels (and a couple of short stories, and the like). I am an avid on-line e-mail player, and a regular on both the Amber and Chaos mailing lists. If you like Amber,or want to know more about this, then why don't you go and visit my Amber Page?
