Whoa, it's been a while since I updated this. Sorry to anybody who actually reads this page. Anyway, I was inspired to write down the sum total of my sexual experience (nothing) along with lots of stolen ideas, conjecture, and wild guesses to make A Male Virgin's Guide to Sex. No it's not a perfet guide tried and tested. Didn't you read the title?

I've given up on both the current Alien Assault Traders server and the gasoline price thing. They were both dumb ideas. I am still working on the newest version of the tech tree, and it's almost ready.
3:53pm September 6, 2005:
I'm starting a page to keep track of gasoline prices in Grand Forks, and tell folks where to shop for it. If you have a current gas price at even one gas station in town, email it to me.

I've improved the 4X on Fire page dramatically. I am now focusing more on the ideas behind the game and less on the current incarnation of the game (which, if you have checked it out, stinks). I wrote a nice writeup of the mining scheme behind the game, if you're interested. As always, I still feel that the tech tree is the most interesting part I have made yet (read it online).

Help me out! I've written a kind of tongue-in-cheek article on how to take over the world! If you've been watching Pinky and the Brain and have figured out a way to take over the world that I've missed, let me know! Which way would you try, if you were crazy enough? Build a superweapon? How about a virus?

Wrote up quite a few book reviews.
1:02am July 27, 2005:
Wrote/made my ambitious article on CD "burning", ie microwaving CDs and that sort of thing. Lots of pretty pictures. Check it out.
5:04pm July 26,2005:
Added a few book reviews in their section.
9:10pm July 19, 2005:
I haven't posted in a while as I've been busy getting my Alien Assault Traders game server set up and running. It now appears to be running and stable. It's a free (both as in "free beer" and as in "free speech") web-based game. Give it a whirl. If you have trouble, email me as usual.
12:35am July 13, 2005:
Added four new book reviews.
4:45pm July 12, 2005:
Added a new article on the stupid things meat companies do, along with a smaller page of my links. Both are in the Articles section.
11:10am July 8, 2005:
I put my 4x strategy game online. I'm calling it 4X on Fire. The tech tree to the game is still available at Tech Tree, it's just that it's now a subset of 4X on Fire.
5:14pm July 6, 2005:
Wrote an article on how to make cheap oil from sunlight. It uses existing technologies throught, so it should be feasible. Read it and feel free to comment.
4:03pm July 3, 2005:
Added A Journey to Absolute Zero and the first two subarticles into the Articles section.
3:23pm July 2, 2005:
I recorded the introduction to The Island of Doctor Moreau, as though I were making an audiobook out of it. I welcome comments and criticisms. It is available in the Audiobooks page.
1:35pm July 2, 2005:
Added a games page to describe the video games I like to play and any files I've created relevant to them. It'll live in the articles section.
10:30am June 29, 2005:
I got a gmail address specifically for the web site. It's srehnadmin@gmail.com. Please feel free to email me if you have a comment, complaint, or suggestion, or even if you happen to feel like it and have nothing to say. I'm starting to get worried that nobody is even finding this page.
8:22pm June 28, 2005:
I finished the first draft of my markets article. Go on, read it. You know you want to.
5:18pm June 27, 2005:
First update after the weekend. I've added 13 new book reviews in the Book Reviews section (link on the right side). They're mostly Heinlein, Sheffield, and Baxter books. Ultimately, I intend to have reviews of every book I've read and remember. That could take quite a while, as I'm sure you'll understand. I've also got a little article on how market economies functin in the works. I'll have it ready for your consumption in a couple of days.
12:50pm June 23, 2005:
Added an intro page for the Tech Tree. I added a few book reviews earlier, but I mention them now because I didn't then.
8:04pm June 21, 2005:
I added text and PDF versions of A New Thirst in the Stories section, and I added a link to the Tech Tree zone.
7:15pm June 21, 2005:
This is the first version of the site. There is, as you can see, a lot of work left to be done. I have a lot of existing material to add to the site before I need to start working on new material, but that is coming as well. Things to expect are: my Firefox-based conquer-the-galaxy type strategy game, my fully html-made and hyperlinked technology tree (over 100 entries so far), and my science fiction stories.
