Hi, Hello - Welcome! This is basically a kind of landing page. A small preview, a sampler plate, a hint of what’s waiting if you decide to wander further into the site. Poke around. There’s more beneath the surface. Or click a link above and dive right in!

Looking to skip the wandering and get straight to the good stuff? I’m putting together a Links page. A growing collection of everything that surfaces across the site. All the oddities, artifacts, and curios in one place. If you’d rather browse the raw veins instead of digging through posts, that’s your entry point. The Links page is where it all collects, so go dig.

Music →

I've been playing guitar for almost all of my life and even spent some time in my youth touring the US and Europe playing in the mid 90s. Currently I have been obsessed with Surf and Garage music from the 60s and teaching myself how to play the Combo Organ. Visit this section if you want to see some of my favorite guitars and recommendations on what to listen to. Warning, my musical interests freeze at about 1987 ... maybe early 91'.

Astronomy →

For the past few years I have been chronicling my astronomical observations and adventures with Electronic Assisted Astronomy (EAA) which you can find at whittierskies.com. You can also visit this section to find out what equipment I use and recommend. From time to time I will be posting some of my observations in the Journal section. You can see my Messier Marathon by clicking the link.

Wanna peek into my brain dump? Swing by my sporadic Journal where I turn my curated bookmarks and curious interests into bite-sized posts with contextual breadcrumbs.

About →

Curious about the mad genius behind this digital mess? Why I bothered coding it into existence? Who even am I ? Hit About for the unvarnished origin story. Nothing earth shattering, just restless ramblings to kill five minutes when curiosity kicks in. Made it this far? Drop me a line using the link above let me know you found the site. I might even reply!
