Other Stuff Randy is Interested In

Other interests page

There's more to life than just biking. No really, there is.

I'm interested in a lot of things. These are some of them. I've also listed some things I'm not interested in, just for fun

Arts&Entertainment

Yes, I like movies. I don't get out to see them as much as I like. Here in Halifax we only get the octoplexes. No foreign films here. Well, the Oxford does carry some but not enough. Besides, I'm too busy riding.

Stanley Kubrick rocks. Check out these sites if you know about as much of him as the average person out there. He makes movies that matter to him, not the bums in the seats. Also, he has a cool man/society vs technology thing going that I kinda like.

  • Stanley Kubrick - The Master Film Maker
  • The Stanley Kubrick FAQ, more info than you'll ever need
  • Martin Scorsese
  • Actually,Ingmar Bergman, Oliver Stone, Coppola, and the guy that did all of those "Star Wars" movies are in my list of 'the best ever'. Its hard to pick just one. Actually, to tell you the truth I thought that The Phantom Menace blew chunks. But thats just between you and me.
    Akira Kurosawa rocks too. Check him out.


  • Strange Adventures Comics Shop
  • Cerebus!
  • I like comics and have been reading them for as long as I can remember. No, I don't read 'spiderman' or 'superman' or any of those other crappy adolescent fantasy mags. I read 'cool' and 'hip' mags like Cerebus(Actually, cerebus is neither 'cool' nor 'hip' but...). I read books too, so no smart-ass comments ok?

    Some mags that I read and recommend are Strangers In Paradise, Optic Nerve, Milk&Cheese, Eightball, Peep Show, Stray Bullets, and whatever else that happens to catch my eye and doesn't have a chick with a 4 inch waist and big tits on the cover.

  • Classic Video Games NexusHome&Arcade Info from the '70s onward

    VGR's amazing list of every game ever made for the Atari, with instructions!

    Atari's are cool. I've still got a 600xl(boosted to 64k) that I got in 1981. The Atari VCS is cool too. People spend mega-bucks on Playstation games. I can get atari games for 50 cents a pop. And there's no shortage of Atari computer software on the internet.

    Thats another thing: I'm able to connect to the internet with an Atari 800xl(upgraded to 256k Ram) via a 1200 baud modem and using a vt100 terminal emulator. Sick eh? Um, I don't do that anymore. Only when I want put a game on a 5.25 floppy. When I get a faster rig I'll probably just use an emulator.

  • Atari List Stuff I have, am looking for, and can trade

    I'm also a bit on the Mac bandwagon. I like 'em! Um, no I don't have one right now at this moment (unless you count the Macintosh Classic) but I will in the future. In the meantime my brother's old 1992 '486 piece of PC crap will have to do(Thanks, Paul)

  • Mac HyperArchive
  • Fonts for Freaks

  • I have no 'roots'

    I grew up in the Canadian Forces. I'm not from anywhere so don't ask me where I'm from. Just because I live here doesn't mean a thing. Think about it, If I lived in Japan for 10 years would I be Japanese?
