Here is where we all can take a break from the REAL WORLD of handling emergencies and assisting the public.
Keep an eye on the time you spend surfing the links.... Synchronize your watch and take care NOT to be late for work.
When I first created this site, I had thought I would link to sites offering diversions or what I considered to be worthwhile special projects
for my peers (everywhere, in all three disciplines of Public Safety) to peruse. After all, some folks don't want work to intrude on their off-duty
time. Then it struck me, if I get so much pleasure in discovering Home Pages developed for and maintained by officers, dispatchers, fire fighters,
and emergency medical personnel, then maybe some of y'all would like to check 'em out, too.
Click the 9-1-1 logo to go to other, more "professional" Links of particular interest to Public Safety personnel.
If you're interested in finding more about the professional ME and just which agency I work for, FIRST, then by all means, check me out.
If you want to learn a little bit more about me, you can check my personal page where I've put other stuff that doesn't quite fit this page's admittedly broad content. I've added a page about my companion animals, too. I recently purchased a digital camera, so I have some pictures of them, if you're interested in seeing my furry family members.
And, in response to some inquiries, I've added some Words of Wisdom for folks considering a career in Public Safety Communications.
I've gotten some awards for this site. I'd be delighted
if you clicked ahead to see them.
Most dispatchers are familiar with the process of researching information through manuals and guides and
"cheat-sheets" and help.files online (oh you lucky people using Computer-Aided Dispatch systems!)
in order to complete some necessary transaction. It's no different HERE; just think of this site as
a more entertaining version of an NLETS manual. Some stuff is a simple, quick keystroke or two away,
but other items will require you to settle in and study them before you can fully appreciate the results.
Also, if you're amused by technological humor, the happy little CAD terminal will take you to some jokes I've
started to gather.

I've become addicted, errrrr, heavily involved in Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and spend a great deal of time online
with friends I've made around the world. It's free (unlike America OnLine) and one can have real-time conversations
with hundreds of thousands of folks on different topics.
You can sometimes find me, if you're interested in "meeting" the author of this site, on the TalkCity server in this channel:
If, by chance, you don't find me there, you could always page me on ICQ - and if I'm online at the time, I'll get that message.
If you're a PC or MAC user, you should take the opportunity to download an IRC client (I recommend mIRC) from my Utilities page and come on in!
If you're totally confused by IRC, try 
and you'll get some useful information.
A great deal of the fun with IRC is the ability to play sound files to spice up your discussions, sort of an audible commentary to the interactive text chat. I've collected several hundred snippets of TV and movie dialog, sound effects, and brief snatches of popular music and songs. Sample some of my favorites to get an idea of the possibilities.
My extremely reliable guestbook server crashed and lost everyone's data. (At least it lasted a year!) 189 Break Room Visitor entries simply disappeared without a trace. Please take the time to fill up the new one for me!
