Background

Started in 1995 as a simple experiment with HTML, this website has evolved these several goals:

Family resource
To allow access to family photos, and to broadcast live video and weather information to interested parties, but primarily for my family in Philadelphia. Family photos tend to deteriorate with time, digital images should last forever.

Pooling and Sharing resources and interests
Especially the Night Sky in Del Mar, The Tide Charts, the Weather Station on my balcony, shared access to my personal TeleMagic contact database and activity schedule, useful links, etc.

Do Good Now
100% of the profits of my website are given to these charities.

Immortality
With any luck, this website will be around a lot longer than I will!

Hobby
It's something to do to keep me off the streets and out of trouble...
