JetCityOrange, a site like no other.

    Space Needle webcam as seen from 47.590325 -122.386002

08nov09: I'm working on the webcam so you may see odd things: blurry images, misaligned shots, nothing at all. I'm doing my best. It's a big project because the Space Needle webcam is part of a lighthouse I'm building. Let's just say there's a lot going on. </understatement> Stay tuned...

This is the view from my roof in West Seattle (North Admiral). The Space Needle image updates every 20 seconds around the clock. This is one of my webcams.

JetCityOrange is what I do on the internet. That is, it's this website, my blog, an RSS feed, my YouTube channel, my Flickr presence, and more. I'm a busy boy online.

There's a lot of different stuff here on JetCityOrange, reflecting my varied interests. My suggestion is to start with something that interests you and see where the links lead. (plot spoiler: look at this page) I've been building JetCityOrange for years in my spare time and there are lots of pages to be explored.

The contents are as varied and multifacted as I am. The photos here reflect my interest in photography and digital cameras. Webcams? Love 'em! I'm a Buddhist who meditates who has a deep respect for the Black Panther Party (a seeming contradiction that confounds my kids). Food and beer? I'm not inked but I love tats of barcodes. Like I said, I'm all over the map.

Being a nerd's nerd there are lots of geeky things up here too, everything from Legos to Altoids tins, tips about making web pages including metadata & SEO and everybody's friend, The Long Tail. And who doesn't love librarians?

There are several pages that have proved quite popular. Some like the Mosquito Ringtone are no surprise. The pages about online dating and travel are some of my favorites (sorry ladies; I'm happily taken). MP3 files of dog whistles I don't understand.

On hint is to pay attention to the links on the left of every page. The links are related to what's on the page you're reading.

Poke around JetCityOrange and there's no telling what you'll turn up. New material is being added all the time. I can't help myself. The best thing to do is start wandering around the navigation and see what you find. JetCityOrange has breadcrumb trails leading you into different sections. It's designed to reward wandering around. You'll see.

JetCityOrange is full of odd material from the depths my admittedly idiosyncratic mind. JCO changes and morphs on a regular basis. I do it cuz I want to. It's healthier than Hooters, costs less than a bookie, and keeps me home at night. The litmus test is that I don't put anything up here I wouldn't want my Mom to see.

I love to hear from people who stumble across this corner of the universe. I read and answer email. jetcityorange at gmail dot com

Who, me? I live in Seattle, own a small software company, have three great kids, and have a house full of gadgets, cold-blooded animals, and orchids. It's a good life.

Trust me, there's no other site like this on the net.
