I started this website when I used to collect and network on a collection of old, slow computers. The name is a reference to how slow the website used to be.

Who are you?

I'm a biology nerd, plain and simple. I have been interested in biology since I was a tiny child. I ended up studying biology in college and earning a couple of degrees in biology. After that I spent a few years playing with computers, but that didn't hold my interest for long. Now, I teach biology, anatomy and physiology, and information about nifty wet critters. I like to play guitar. I've also recently started autocrossing as a hobby.
