What is this place?
Perhaps it’s best to answer that by analogy:

Imagine a field full of bunnies. Lots and lots of happy bunnies, jumping around and eating flowers and stuff. Keep thinking about these bunnies. Don’t think about the hawk that’s flying 209 feet above them, eying the the vale below and licking his sharp, shiny beak as he envisions himself feasting on the raw flesh of the cute and carefree creatures cavorting among the carrots. Don’t think about him at all. He has absolutely nothing to do with this analogy.

And while you’re not thinking about the hawk, imagine a Very Clever Man, thousands of miles away in a laboratory, conducting an experiment. An experiment that does not harm any small animals at all. He is trying to make a communication device, by connecting a series of tubes (Maybe his name is Al Gore. Maybe it isn’t. It doesn’t matter). “Eureka!” he shouts. The invention is a success!

Now imagine some friendly humanitarian folk take the tubes to Rabbit Valley, so the bunnies can communicate. Everybody knows bunnies can’t talk, so they need some other way to transfer information. Everybody also knows bunnies aren’t people, so helping them does nothing to further anyone’s humanitarian goals. These folks apparently don’t, though; and I’m not telling them.

With the series of tubes finally installed, the bunnies enter an information revolution. One of them has a great idea — perhaps a way to make a wig out of Cheese Whiz. He whispers his discovery into his own personal tube, and suddenly dozens, hundreds, even thousands of other bunnies are enlightened! . . . But not all of them. Not nearly all at all. One bunny can only do so much.

But now another bunny enters the fray — a very wise and resourceful leporid (after whom, incidentally, I was named). He ties several of the tubes together, and now even more bunnies sport cheesy wigs! Hence, this site.

What?!?
Okay, maybe not.

Very well . . . who’s the bozo behind all this madness?
The name’s Mark. Mark Keller, to be exact. A fellow fascinated by art, literature, oldschool games, and the peculiar — whatever that may be. He suffers from the habitual discovery of incredible websites he doesn’t want to forget about (causing his web-browser to become overloaded and him to create this site), and only talks about himself in the third person in this paragraph.

(And that’s Mr. Bozo to you!)

So this site was just created to keep track of the things you found online?
In a way, yes. Though it’s become much, much more than that¹. And some of those things are pretty darn amazing, so it’s worth sticking around for.

It was also sorta created to make me a little extra cash through advertisements, but we’ll see how that pans out over time (yup, gotta be honest!).

. . . But what about that hawk?
Never mind. It’s probably all over, by now.
