In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

Yahoo counted me as a "cool person" from 1997-2001. How far have I fallen?!

March 20, 2000 My In-box's Loss Will Be Your Gain
On the orders of the IS guy at my work (Scour.com), I'm cleaning out my Microsoft Outlook in-box, because apparently I'm taking up way too much space on the company mail server. I hate to delete stuff; I save everything. It's a disease. I'm an electronic pack-rat. I guess I'm just afraid that for some reason I'm going to need that e-mail from December 16, 1999 telling me about cool myCaster online radio stations or the one from December 14, 1999 sending me to Chickenhead's Geriatric Erotica site.

My In-Box's loss will be your gain. I will now post some of the zany URLs that my friends and co-workers have sent me over the past 4 months:
