Tom Grundy's Travels Page

The purpose of this page is to provide my friends and family with an opportunity to see what I've been up to. Occasionally, by accident, I provide information that might be useful or interesting to others. Everyone is welcome to view them as long as they read and agree to the disclaimer and EULA below.

This page is now hosted on the electricant pages thanks to Anthony. Check out his stuff here. You can thank him for there not being heaps of pop ups and blinky ads everywhere. If this site goes down or disappears, you can give him noogies.

To check out the old tripod one (stuff up to fall 2005), look here:

Disclaimer. Everything needs a disclaimer these days. Some of the activities depicted on this site may be hazardous, some are definitely dangerous and/or stupid. They were performed by unpaid professionals. Under no circumstances should you perform them at home or anywhere else, but if you do, then it is at your own risk. ditto for any advice. My laptop resolution is 1024 X 768 or something like that, these pages usually look fine on it with firefox. I make no promises for other resolutions or platforms. The views expressed on this site might not be your views. If you are going to get offended, then don't look at it. Reading or looking further in this site constitutes an acceptance of the EULA saying you won't whine about it too much, sueing or prosecuting me is right out. All the photos unless otherwise stated are copyright Tom Grundy and may not be reproduced without permission. This site may have been made, hosted, or viewed on a system that has been used to view or process peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, eggs, dairy, meat, and other potentially hazardous things. It is entirely possibly that everything here is made up and not true (especially if it depicts something that may be frowned upon or illegal). Nobody is forcing you to look at them anyway...

I moved my pages from tripod and geocities, although they are also still there. As you can probably see, the quality and quantity of writing and photography varies widely. The best is from when I had my digital camera and plenty of easy internet access, the worst, no camera or access. I put this stuff in semi stratigraphic order, so if you want it chronologically, start at the bottom and work your way up.

Hey look, I'm "big" in the Czech Republic,
Drátený Clip stick
If your Czech is a little rusty, try this one.
Do-It-Yourself: Stick Clip

If you want to get in touch with me, then you will have to solve this simple puzzle: take my last name, then what I am (3 letters, adult male human, rhymes with pan), then the famous at sign followed by the first letter of my last name (and a famous search engine) followed by what sort of address I am giving you (without an e in front of it)(or a form of armor made from interlocking rings). then a period, and 3 more letters that you can probably figure out by now, but it rhymes with bomb. There should be no spaces in this address. Sorry, I'd just type it out, but that wouldn't fool the evil spam bots. I really hate spam.

Wax Bomb, Wax Bomb
